South Wales - Attractions
Posted by: Don Atkinson on 28 July 2014
A four day break this comming weekend sees us going to South Wales.
OK, we're only going to Newport, just and hour and a half down the M4 and we've been several times before, staying in Newport, Breacon and Little Haven for example. Even from Newport we usually manage a day out on the Breacon Beacons, Marloes Sands or Tintern Abbey and its surrounding hills.
What other "must-see" experiences have you enjoyed in this wonderful part of the UK ?
Gwyneth in Port Talbot. 
Been there, done that...............
"a heavy day's castle visiting"
I doubt this is a term I'm likely to use anytime soon.
winky, I happened to notice your quiery in flickr from about three months ago. The photo was taken over the Monashees between Cherryville and Nakusp. Myself and my daughter's Father-in-Law hiked up to the Twin Lakes a week or so later......
Many thanks to all who made recommendations - we had a really enjoyable time.
A few pictures, none of which justify the "Nice Pictures" threads but hopefully illustrate some of the things that Wales has to offer........
First off - Aberdulais - a Welsh tinplate factory (National Trust)
The Dan-Yr-Ogof - an absolute delight = highly recommended
Pen-y-Fan - Mrs D dropped me off on the North Side and picked me up two hour later at the Storeys Arms Center. Nice views over the Brecons and the Valleys toward Myrther.
Newport...............................Mick does have a point !!!
Marleos Sands...................Pembrokeshire is picturesque Mick !!
Top of a hill outside Monmouth, visited by Nelson and lady Hamilton
Roman mosaic at Chedworth (Glos). A culture vulture's delight and much nearer to Swindon and civilisation..............
