WHY GO NOW
Follow far-reaching routes that get the
blood pumping
Three new, fully mapped national
touring routes, collectively called the
Wales Way, showcase the best of this
legend-filled land. At 185 miles, the
Cambrian Way is the longest of the three
roads, snaking north to south along
the backbone of Wales. Sandwiched
between mountains and sea, the
Coastal Way is a sweeping 180-mile
journey around Cardigan Bay on the
country’s west coast. The castle-rich
North Wales Way follows a centuries-old
trading route 75 miles from northeastern
Queensferry to the Isle of Anglesey.
Each driving itinerary is a gateway
to wider outdoor adventures. Hike in
Edmund Hillary’s footsteps on Mount
Snowdon; inland surf at Adventure Parc
Snowdonia; or go coasteering (a new
adventure sport that combines rock
climbing, cliff jumping, snorkeling, and
more) on the Pembrokeshire coast.
