Wales

Mountains, Coastlines, Valleys, and Ancient Paths

From the mountains of Eryri and Bannau Brycheiniog to rugged coastlines, river valleys, and open uplands, Wales contains some of Britain's most distinctive landscapes. Trails such as the Wales Coast Path, Offa's Dyke Path, Pembrokeshire Coast Path, and Glyndŵr's Way reveal many of these environments, while routes across the country connect coastal communities, historic market towns, and protected landscapes.

Long-distance routes pass through National Parks, National Landscapes, mountain terrain, forests, and coastal regions, linking places shaped by Welsh history, culture, and geography. Together, these routes reveal the character of Wales while providing opportunities to explore the country at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
