Nestled between England to the east and mid Wales to the north, South Wales is a historic region steeped in rich cultural heritage. Its landscape, dominated by the Brecon Beacons National Park and crowned by Pen y Fan - the highest peak in southern Britain, promises fantastically scenic journeys. Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport, serving as its bustling heartlands, contrast with the idyllic tranquillity of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire's countryside.

Once part of the prized Principality of Wales, South Wales has a history that spans centuries. The industrial revolution etched a modern identity onto its rural fabric, transforming the tranquil valleys into a hub of coal and iron industries. This resulted in a unique fusion of Welsh and migrant cultures, fostering English-speaking, proudly Welsh communities. Despite the subsequent decline of the coal industry, South Wales soon rebounded, becoming a vibrant centre for service sector industries, entertainment businesses and the UK's largest steel producer at Port Talbot.

When to visit South Wales

South Wales, with its temperate climate, lends itself to year-round exploration, but it truly comes to life from April to October. These months offer pleasant weather conditions, making outdoor adventures like hill walking, beach holidays and exploring ancient forests an absolute delight. The idyllic Pembrokeshire coast, with its warm summer temperatures, is especially perfect for beachside fun from June to September.

Moreover, cultural enthusiasts will find a dynamic calendar of festivals and events throughout the year, proudly showcasing the unique Welsh heritage. From historic fortresses to sandy beaches, from industrial landscapes to mesmerising valleys, South Wales offers a medley of experiences. So, pack your bags, book your hotel with Lycafly, and immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit and captivating charm of South Wales.
