West Wales is a spectacular peninsula, jutting out into the Celtic Sea which boasts infinite fun with a bucket and spade at the beach, endless walks and panoramic views from the Wales Coast Path, and adventurous days visiting ancient castles and seaside towns. The National Botanic Gardens of Wales, Cilgerran Castle and the Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest are ideal for families, groups or couples.
Spanning the counties of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, West Wales boasts some of Wales’ most incredible coastal destinations. Visit the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for turquoise seas, golden sands and crashing waves that are loved by surfers all over the world. Or explore the coastline of Bae Ceredigion where it’s not rare to see seals and dolphins splashing in the waters.
Other West Wales attractions include nature reserves, the West Wales Museum of Childhood, heritage railways, medieval castles and even the birthplace of Merlin! Visit Britain’s smallest city, St Davids, to see the impressive 13th-century cathedral or take a trip to the Museum of the Welsh Woollen Industry to learn more about the country’s heritage.
