Walking Trails
Wales has three long distance routes classified as National Trails - Glyndwr's Way, Offa's Dyke and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path - passing through some of the country's most varied and picturesque scenery. In addition to the three National Trails, Wales is home to some exhilarating long walks over the length and breadth of the country.
Wales Cottage Holidays has a great selection of properties located along the routes, allowing walkers to explore sections of these major paths whilst enjoying a break in Wales. The newest of these is the Wales Coast Path, which opened in May 2012 when Wales became the first country in the world to offer visitors a formal trail right around the coast - that's 870 miles!
