Walking

This is Wales.  We have mountains.  Lots of them.  And where there are mountains there are walks.  Lots of them.  Obviously something to do with the rugged terrain and stunning views.

Although you don't have to go up a mountain to find stunning views, there's plenty along the coast too.  And as luck would have it, there are plenty of trails and paths leading you to these wonderful viewpoints.

Plenty of walks in our more built up areas too.  Maybe not so scenic but laced with history and points of interest.  And they're generally flat too!

Not so flat are the valleys (obviously) but plenty of walking opportunities here too.  So much so they even have a walking festival every autumn to make sure you cover every last metre of their trails.

Please remember that the information in this section is just a guide.  We've tried to make it as accurate as possible for you but we still suggest you check all routes and information before you set out.  If you are going on one of the walks please make sure you've got suitable clothing, shoes, maps and equipment as we want you to be as safe as possible.
