Welsh Coast Cottages
The Welsh Coast hugs the country along three of its sides for
750 miles, offering a heady mix of beaches, peninsulas, harbours
and seaside resorts. The National Trust protects parts of the most
scenically splendid areas. Coastal paths follow most of the
shoreline, with plans in the pipeline for an 'All Wales'
route. Water sports and wildlife watching opportunities are
fantastic. And scattered here and there are some delightful Welsh
Coast cottages. Let's whet your appetite with some
highlights...
First stop, the North Wales coast, home to timeless attractions
like Llandudno and Conwy, with the magnificent Snowdonia National
Park a welcome neighbour. Just off the coast is the isle of
Anglesey, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a firm
favourite with families and water sports' enthusiasts. The AONB
status continues along the Llyn Peninsula, stretching out into the
Irish Sea and renowned for its mild micro-climate, breathtaking
beaches and superb sailing conditions. Continue south to the resort
of Barmouth and the Mawddach Estuary, a picture postcard backdrop
where the mountains kiss the sea.
Linking the north with the south is the Ceredigion Heritage
Coast of Cardigan Bay, a stretch highly blessed by Mother Nature
and home to bottle-nosed dolphins and grey seals. Next, the
Pembrokeshire Coast, boasting the UK's only coastal National
Park, numerous award-winning beaches and a host of historic
castles. Add the longest beach in Wales at Camarthen Bay, dazzling
scenery and mind-boggling sunsets on the Gower Peninsula...the list
goes on.
Wherever you stay, a Welsh Coast cottage holiday will leave a
lasting impression!
