Gower Peninsula
Yet another beautiful part of Wales is the Gower Peninsula. One of the first places to be designated ‘An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, the area is actually relatively small but still has plenty of beautiful views and sites of historical interest. Find out more about the area here.

Being the capital of the country, there is of course plenty to do in Cardiff. The Natural History Museum in the city is the most popular tourist attraction in the whole of Wales, whilst you can go out and see some of the historical sites for yourself in the surrounding areas.
