Away from London there are other areas in the UK which are well worth a visit. This includes Wales. Below are some of the best tourist attractions in Wales.
Cardiff Castle – Cardiff Castle is ingrained in the city’s history and its location smack in the middle of the city can sometimes be deceptive in terms of the sheer size of the castle. If you enter inside the gates you can enjoy great tours and a number of events.
Welsh Museum of Life – This is probably one of the best life museums in Europe. Over the years, houses from different areas around Wales have been taken apart and re-constructed in this outdoor museum just outside of Cardiff. There is also an indoor museum and a shop set up exactly as it would have been in the olden days.
Castle Coch – There are a number of historic castles around Wales, but Castle Coch has something about it which makes it stand out. Perhaps it is the fairytale appearance of a castle surrounded by a moat or the glorious surrounding land.
Oakwood – This is a large and successful theme park in the west of Wales. The rides vary in size from large roller coasters for the most daring adults to small but imaginative rides for young children. The train ride from the car park to the park is a nice touch.
Big Pitt – Coat mines are a huge part of Welsh history. For centuries it was one of the main industries in the country and supported a number of towns around Wales. The big Pitt is a museum dedicated to Wales’ mining past and offers the visitor the opportunity to experience a mine as it would have been during its heyday.
