Visit Wales

Product Description

If you’re looking to treat someone to a weekend break away in Wales, why not surprise them with this Visit Wales Gift break for two. Once you have purchased your Visit Wales Gift break, you will be able to spend time selecting the perfect location for your break from the wide range of locations featured on the right. Famous as the ‘land of song’, the cultural & historical heritage of Wales is evident almost everywhere, making for a fascinating weekend break destination. There are must-see areas, such as the unbelievably picturesque village of Portmerion which was designed to create the atmosphere of the Mediterranean in north Wales, & has been the setting for many television shows & films. Although Rugby might be the national sport, Wales also has plenty of alternatives which you won’t find anywhere else, such as the national Bog Snorkelling championships during which competitors must take on a peat bog without using any traditional swimming strokes. If running is more your style, you could try the Man vs. Horse marathon, or for the even more enthusiastic you can race a train along the Talyllyn Steam Railway. If all that’s not enough inspiration, you could spend a couple of days mastering the longest place name in Europe: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch means " St. Mary's Church by the white aspen over the whirlpool & St. Tyllio's Church by the red cave" & has long been considered somewhat of a challenge to anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the Welsh language. One night stay for two people including breakfast
