Experience the true essence of hwyl on your travels through Wales—a uniquely Welsh feeling of wholehearted joy and contentment that comes from being fully present. Whether you're wandering rugged coasts, scaling mountains like Yr Wyddfa, or exploring medieval castles with the little ones, Wales invites you to savour every moment. Feel it during pony treks across the Brecon Beacons, boat trips on serene lakes, or bonding over ice cream on sun‑kissed beaches. Camping under starlit skies, with the odd summer shower prompting a joyous mud‑slide, only deepens that sense of connection. Discover hidden waterfalls, or embrace exhilarating adventures like zip‑lining and coasteering in Snowdonia. On a rainy afternoon, hwyl is found in cosy museums, crackling pub fires, or family craft sessions. It’s in shared laughter on heritage railways, in the warmth of festivals and the camaraderie of a local rugby match. Let Wales wrap you in its charm—where each breath, sight, and sound nudges you into that unforgettable state of immersive joy

Portmeirion is a whimsical Italianate village on North Wales’ Dwyryd estuary, designed by Sir Clough Williams‑Ellis with pastel-coloured houses, a dramatic campanile, and the enchanting Central Piazza offering a “pocket of madness”
Step into the stunning Arab Room, one of architect William Burges’s final creations from 1881, featuring a breathtaking muqarnas ceiling richly gilded and intricately decorated. Sunlight streams through Egyptian-inspired stained glass windows, refracting off crystal balls to illuminate the opulent ceiling
Perched above the Dwyryd Estuary with majestic views to the Preseli Hills, Pentre Ifan is the most impressive and best‑preserved Neolithic dolmen in Wales—its massive 5 m capstone (weighing around 16 tonnes) balanced on slender uprights since roughly 3,500 BC
The Great Orme Tramway is Britain’s only funicular, or cable-hauled, tramway that travels on public roads. Delighting visitors since it opened in 1902. The Tramway climbs a mile (1500m) through the Great Orme Country Park and Nature Reserve to the Great Orme’s spectacular summit
Located near Rhayader, Gigrin Farm offers a breathtaking daily spectacle as hundreds of wild Red Kites swoop down to feed. The feeding takes place at 3:00 PM from the end of March to the end of October. Visitors can enjoy the view from various hides, including specialist photographic ones
Scotland is a land made for road trips—a country where every mile tells a story. The scenery shifts from windswept coastlines and mirror-like lochs to towering mountains and moody moorlands, often in the space of a single drive. Around each bend lies something extraordinary: an ancient stone circle, a ruined abbey, or a Highland cow watching from the roadside. It’s a place where you don’t just pass through the landscape—you feel it. The roads may be narrow and winding, but they lead to moments you’ll never forget.
What makes a Scottish road trip unforgettable isn’t just the beauty—it’s the sense of stepping into history and myth. You might pause beside a battlefield where clans once clashed, wander through a centuries-old village, or stop at a remote bothy for tea with a view. From the vibrant culture of Edinburgh and Glasgow to the haunting stillness of the Hebrides, Scotland invites you to take your time, breathe in the fresh air, and discover its soul mile by mile. If you’ve ever dreamed of the open road, this is where you start the engine
