North to south, Wales packs mountains, castles and some of Britain's best beaches into a compact loop — ideal campervan country.

The route

Snowdonia (Eryri) and the Llŷn Peninsula in the north, down the coast to Pembrokeshire, and inland to the Brecon Beacons and Cardiff.

  • The Pembrokeshire Coast — the UK's only coastal national park.
