Things to see and do in Wales

There’s no doubt that a big part of the country’s appeal is the stunning terrain it’s spread out over. It’s little wonder, with spots like Snowdonia National Park, the Pembrokeshire Coast and the Brecon Beacons. Wales is a paradise for people who love to explore outdoor environments, whether on foot, two wheels, or with a four-legged companion. 

As well as more mountains, valleys, waterfalls and adventure pursuits you can shake a leek at, you can also find top culture and great nightlife in cities like capital Cardiff. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly activities, historic attractions or just a nice beach to settle down on for the day, there are so many wonderful things to do in Wales. 

Education

The Welsh education system is based around the National Curriculum, with three to seven-year-olds going through the Foundation Stage first. Welsh is taught in all schools up to the age of 16, while some schools and lessons are taught entirely or mostly in Welsh. School inspections are carried out by Estyn, with a vast number of excellent options for all age groups across the country. The Cardiff area has the highest concentration of schools, while most major towns and villages will have at least a primary school if you want to live in a rural area. 

Transport links in Wales

Transport for Wales is a non-profit travel company which is owned by the government and operates across the country. Transport links are naturally most comprehensive in and around city centres such as Cardiff, Swansea and Newport, with local bus routes available for getting around more remote places. The rugged terrain in the heart of the country is part of the reason why the M4 is the only major motorway in Wales, starting near Swansea and heading east into South West England all the way to London via Bristol. Cardiff Airport on the outskirts of Barry is the biggest airport in Wales. 

The Wales property market

Strong growth is anticipated for the Welsh property market in the coming years. With house prices significantly lower than the UK average, now could be the perfect time to invest. Prices are quite similar up and down the country, with South Wales only slightly more expensive than the North.
