For walking, cycling, surfing and sailing, a cottage in South
Wales is the ideal retreat, whether it's deep in the
countryside or perched along the coast. That's the beauty of
staying in South Wales - you're never far from mountains or the
sea.
Most of these South Wales cottages are located in Pembrokeshire,
boasting a coastal National Park and endless range of visitor
attractions. If you're a walker, long-distance or purely
recreational, don't miss the coastal path. Take a short section
and enjoy a lazy pub lunch at the next resort along, or plan a full
walking itinerary, witnessing some of the most spectacular coastal
scenery and wildlife to be found in the UK. Blue Flag and other
award-winning beaches fringe the coastline and popular resorts
include Llanelli,
Milford
Haven, Rhossili,
Tenby,
Saundersfoot
and St.
Davids. What else? Castles, theme parks, vineyards - something
for every age and taste!

Next door to Pembrokeshire, the Gower Peninsula is a totally
unspoilt region of pristine beaches and rolling countryside -
perfect for romantic escapes and easy-going adventures like
wildlife watching, coastal walks and cycling. To the north lies
Carmarthenshire, home to rolling green countryside, historic towns
and The National Botanic Garden of Wales - a 500-acre garden
designed to celebrate the new millennium. Don't miss a day in
Cardiff, where you'll find fantastic shopping, a university and
castle, the Millennium Stadium and Cardiff Bay, a vibrant
waterfront development brimming with all kinds of leisure
attractions.
Or, alternatively, there's always the beautiful Brecon Beacons. With 1200 miles
of public rights of way the Beacons are a paradise for all lovers
of the outdoors, and that's before we even mention the beauty
spots of Llangors Lake, the FForest Fawr Geopark and the Llanthony
Valley. Then you've got the picturesque villages of
Sennybridge, Crai and Defynnog where you can easily while away an
afternoon or there's always the option of paying a visit to the
Dan-yr-Ogof National Showcaves and Dinosaur Park - the
possibilities are endless!
Never a dull moment when you book a cottage in South Wales!
