Experience Days in Wales

Wales is the land of dragons, wizards, and dramatic natural landscapes, from forests and mountains, to over 1500 miles of gorgeous coastline. The small country with a big heart is the perfect location to visit for exciting days out and offers a fantastic range of experience gifts for the whole family, whether you’re a local or enjoying a Welsh holiday.

Wales has a rich and dramatic history, and is home to over 600 castles! Take in a few of them on a fifteen minute scenic helicopter ride over the Welsh Marches and learn about Wales’ action-packed history as you soar over the landscape. 

Wales is the perfect place to get outdoors and let your adventurous side loose. Join a qualified instructor for a half day gorge walking experience in Glamorgan that’s sure to leave you exhilarated. Scramble over rocks and plunge into rivers as you take in the breathtaking Brecon Beacons scenery. Or, for a more sedate adventure that the whole family can enjoy, how about a group stand up paddle boarding lesson in Swansea. Gliding gently over the water at the Lower Lliw Reservoir, you’ll follow your experienced teacher as they show you the basics of paddling and steering. 

To experience the wonder of the natural world, a night in a magical treehouse in Powys makes an amazing experience gift for couples. Nestled in the forest canopy, the luxury treehouse includes all mod cons and allows a unique opportunity to experience the forest coming to life during the evening. Alternatively, enjoy stunning views on a dolphin and whale watching boat trip in Pembrokeshire and (hopefully) spot minke, sei, and fin whales, and, if you’re very lucky, orcas and basking sharks. 

From Welsh Rarebit to laverbread, Wales has a rich culinary history and a buzzing modern food scene. Experience the best of both historic and contemporary cuisine on a three course tasting tour of the Welsh capital, Cardiff. A brilliant experience gift for foodies, this food tour takes in seasonal specialities and the most famous Cardiff landmarks, all washed down with some delicious locally brewed ciders and beers. 

Wales is also the backdrop for plenty of iconic film and TV series, including The Prisoner in Portmeirion and James Bond in Snowdonia National Park. Find out what’s occurring on a lush Gavin and Stacey filming location tour around Barry Island, or explore the backdrop to Doctor Who on a walking tour through Cardiff led by an expert Whovian.
