Holidays in South Wales

South Wales stretches from historic Chepstow, with its imposing castle near the English border, to the big skies and epic sea views of the jagged western coast of Pembrokeshire. Here, almost 200 miles of magical shoreline is protected as a National Park. Pembrokeshire has some of the UK's cleanest waters and sands, with more Blue Flag and Seaside Awards than any other county.

We have three parks near Tenby (great big Kiln Park and two smaller, more peaceful sites, Lydstep Beach and Penally Court) plus one on the west coast (Quay West), next to New Quay in the middle of spectacular Dylan Thomas country. Fancy bringing your dog? Check out our dog friendly holidays to South Wales.

Holidays in South Wales mean golden sand stretching for miles, winding coastal walks and historic harbours. Located within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park (the only coastal national park in Britain), Kiln Park is just a short walk from the photogenic fishing village of Tenby.

As well as drinking in the view at Cardigan Bay, you could take a boat trip out to see bottlenose dolphins up close. For something a bit more urban, don't forget the big cities of South Wales – Cardiff is an arts and cultural centre, while Swansea has quaint Victorian arcades. Both will make any shopaholic very happy.
