Short and weekend breaks in Wales
When your stay is only a short or weekend break, it is important to maximise your time and make the best possible use of it. Day trips or half-day trips are the key to getting a lot into a mini-break in Wales, and luckily there are plenty of activities that fit the bill.
I have listed below a selection of activities that awaits a visitor on any short breaks in Wales, or weekend breaks in Wales.
You can find country sports parks where you can spend and hour or two doing archery or clay pigeon shooting, or you could have a go at quad biking or go-karting if moving fast is appealing.
If you want to go cycling, walking or climbing around Wales, you can make the expeditions as long or as short as you like. As a hiker or rambler you will be happy at the number of trails that are waiting to be explored. You could take a short walk of a couple of miles, taking less than half a day, or spend an entire weekend camping and exploring the great outdoors.
Climbers can take one or half-day courses if they want to save time, especially with indoor centres. And at least a day can be spent around the Gower Peninsula or Snowdonia.
Fishing is another popular option and with a wealth of fisheries scattered throughout the country, you will never have to use up too much time getting to one.
Use perhaps half a day or an evening to sample the country’s culture, by a visit to a museum or art gallery or perhaps visit the Wales Millenium Museum to take in a show.
If you are not spending long in the country, you may prefer to stay in one of the delightful holiday cottages in Wales or a B&B. Wales has plenty of high-quality hotels if you don’t fancy catering for yourself or your family, and cosy, family-run B&Bs to give you a taste of home away from home.
