Introducing South Wales
Take a clutch of scarred medieval castles. Add a twist of Unesco World Heritage industrial history. Squeeze in some of Britain's wildest coast. Sprinkle liberally with sleepy villages, secret coves and surfing hotzspots and throw in some rolling hills for good measure. Smother with local pride and, hey presto, this is a microcosm of Wales. Welcome to the south, where the Welsh Dragon breathes as strongly as ever.
Stretching over 100 miles from historic border-town Chepstow in the east to the big sky and sea views of the jagged coast in the west, south Wales packs it in. The big draw is Pembrokeshire, the Welsh Land's End where the winds of outdoor life blows year-round. Almost 200 miles of magical shoreline has been defined a national park, delineated by craggy cliffs, golden sands, chocolate-box villages and traditional seaside resorts. St David's, Britain's smallest city, nestles at its westernmost tip and is home to Wales' holiest site. For budding hikers, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path is one of Britain's most celebrated long-distance walks.
