Wonderful Wales
Even if you have been to Wales before, there is always something new to explore in this wonderful country. From cycling through the green countryside to long-distance coastal challenges, scrambling something gnarly or an easy low-level walk, Wales has a lot to offer.
The Wales Coast Path is a superb walking route covering over 870 miles between Chester and Bristol. And it's been around for 10 years already! Have you walked it? Or perhaps you'd like to? Make sure you watch our Live Event with Paddy Dillon to hear all about this incredible route. And then hop over to our social channels to follow Sarah Williams as she is currently on the route and is sharing regular photos and videos from her walk.

A different side to Snowdonia
The mountains of Snowdonia are a wonderland for walkers of all abilities. If you fancy a long-distance walk right through the region, then The Snowdonia Way provides both lower level and high options walking from Machynlleth to Conwy.
Fancy a challenge?
For a challenging walk you could try the Cambrian Way, a 470km unwaymarked trek from Cardiff to Conwy. Alternatively you could try one of the many other long-distance walking routes in Wales, including three national trails; The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Offa's Dyke Path and Glyndwr's Way.
The Welsh 3000s
The Welsh 3000s is another significant challenge - taking on all of Wales' 15 mountains over 3000ft (914m) high - we don't expect everyone to do them all in one day!
