Activity holidays in Wales for something a bit different this summer

Climbing, abseiling and other outdoor activities are becoming ever more and more popular, and with the credit crunch getting in the way of our usual holidays abroad maybe now is the right time to embrace the great outdoors and try something a bit more challenging this summer. The UK, and especially Wales, has loads of amazing locations where you can try out all sorts of exciting, fun and thrilling experiences. So regardless of whether you’re an experienced adventurer or a first-time explorer, there will be something to suit you.

Wales has some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, and is the perfect setting for activity holidays, with its famous mountains and craggy coastlines for climbing, beautiful rolling hills and valleys for walking holidays and long, sandy beaches with clear seas for water sports. There is an adventure waiting for everyone in Wales whatever your level of experience, whether you’re looking for the sheer adrenalin rush of scaling the famous Welsh mountains or just want to check out the epic views.

Or if you’re looking for something a bit different, Wales is the home of ‘coasteering’, a wild combination of scrambling, climbing, traversing, cliff jumping and swimming that was first developed on the Pembrokeshire coast. All the activities are available to people of all levels of experience and are supervised by a trained instructor, so even if you’ve never done more than climb the stairs at home, you’ll still be able to give it a go.

There is a huge range of different types of accommodation for holidaymakers across the country, from hotels to self catering flats and holiday cottages in the countryside. So whatever type of new experience you’re looking for and whatever activities you want to try, a short break in Wales could be the answer for an exciting, different and affordable holiday this summer.
