Penrhys is good if you like windswept places.
Isn’t it one of the windiest places in the British Isles?
Absolutely but I can't be arsed with all the walking and lack of shops and a chippy on the gower , beautiful though it is
In Tenby you can go out on the beers if that's your thing , piss about down the beach , have a pub lunch , browse the shops or even have a curry
It doesn't get much better than that
Last time I visited Caerphilly Castle and St Fagans in 2016 both were free entry. The latter's always worth a gander, be more so when the Vulcan boozer is rebuilt.
How could you miss Ogmore (the beach) off your list? The Gower is great provided you have transport. I love walking parts of the Brecon & Monmouth canal. Chepstow is a great place to spend an afternoon, it has a lovely castle as well. You can't beat the Wye Valley either, especially Tintern Abbey and a walk up to the Devil's Pulpit. Loads of lovely palces to walk in mid-Wales too
The Valleys are beautiful with amazing scenery and views
Nantymoel at the head of the Bridgend valleys is worth a trip
But it's a bit of a slog to get up there
So given the choice whilst I think Wales has beautiful places to visit I am a lazy sod and prefer to head to the coast than hike up pen y fan with a bunch of students
St Fagans is a lovely day out, got to be 5 hours entertainment
We went late last summer and a lot of it was closed ( due to Covid stuff ) but still had a good time, the guy who normally does the tours of the terraced houses through time is a Jack, loves a bit of football banter
Big Pit is a nice day out aswell, try and get chatting to the old miners who work at the place, fascinating stories about life down the pits
There are lots of good walks around Crickhowell
Kenfig Pool near Porthcawl is nice
Newport Transporter bridge.
Caerleon. amphitheatre and Roman baths. Big pit. Marshfield nature reserve. Community Farm Cwmbran.
Bryn Bach Lake Tredegar.
Angel of the valleys. Six Bells Abertillery.
Bryngarw Country Park , Bridgend
I forgot to mention Ystradfellte Four Waterfalls Walk, particularly the waterfall you can walk behind (it's name escapes me right now). An absolutely beautiful part of God's Country
starting in taffs well and walking up the Garth is a good couple of hours
