Dan-Yr-Ogof Showcaves, Nr Swansea
 

This award-winning tourist attraction is a great day out for everyone, be it an educational visit or a fun-packed day out for the whole family. Experience stunning natural phenomena in the three showcaves, marvel at the Dinosaurs, rub shoulders with the Shire Horses down on the farm, imagine life in an Iron Age Village and browse in the Craft Shop before relaxing with a hot drink and a bite to eat in the Coffee Shop.

In 1912 two men had the courage to explore a cave at the base of the cliffs at Dan-yr-Ogof farm.. They used only candles to light their way and arrows in the sand to find their way back. They discovered a wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites. Prevented from penetrating far into the mountain by a lake, they returned with coracles. They discovered more lakes, magnificent passages and chambers, until they could not crawl through one particular passage. It wasn't until 1963 when a local girl (an avid caver) struggled through it. She and others have now found over 10 miles of unique cave. Cavers believe that this is the tip of the iceberg and that there is still much to discover.

Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagan's (Nr Cardiff)
 

The Museum of Welsh Life opened on 7 July 1948. Since then, it has established itself as one of Europe's foremost open air museums, becoming Wales' most popular heritage attraction. The Museum shows how the people of Wales lived, worked and spent their leisure time over the last five hundred years; and over the past fifty years it has inspired generations of visitors with an appreciation of Welsh history and tradition.

The 100-acre parkland now has over thirty original buildings, moved from various parts of Wales and re-erected to show how the people of Wales lived at various times in history.

There are also large indoor galleries housing exhibitions of costume, daily life and farming implements. Special exhibitions are held at regular intervals. The Museum of Welsh Life literally comes to life when traditional festivals and customs and music and dance events are staged throughout the year.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
 

This is Britain's only truly coastal national park, covering 620 sq km (240 sq miles) of spectacular landscape around Wales' south-western shore. Its spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife and fascinating history make it a very special place to explore and enjoy.

This northern part of Pembrokeshire is the most Welsh region with the melodic tones of our 'mother language' can be heard in shops and pubs. Locals here applaud those who twist their tongues around the unfamiliar words to pass the time of day. The landscape conceals exciting historic places and there's great fun to be had in the role-play minds of today's active youngsters. Try your hand at the impossible task of steering a coracle. Watch wildlife as diverse as seals, dolphins, wild ponies, seabirds, buzzards and badgers. The walking, biking and trekking opportunities open up high moorlands and craggy peaks, or gentle country lanes and clifftop paths. St Davids Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace are two of Wales’s major visitor sites. The little City can be busy during traditional holiday times, but like Tenby in the south the city is a small, friendly, rural community welcoming guests throughout the year.

Half of Pembrokeshire’s award winning sandy beaches are found along the southern coastline. Many parts of it are thought to resemble the Mediterranean with lush vegetation, palm trees, warm red rocks and very white sands. Five castles guard the gentle south. Tenby is a typical Victorian Resort with two lovely beaches and lots to do within the town and the surrounding countryside. Oakwood Theme Park is just one of the many major attractions available and there is something new to explore every day of your holiday.

Brecon Beacons National Park
 

This is a place steeped in history, magnificent in its natural beauty and with so many things to do, you will never be bored.

Either way, the National Park is rich in things to do and places to go and there are many people just waiting to help you enjoy yourself.

There are attractions to suit all the family, including wet weather options such as museums, theatres and family activity centres. Artists and craft-makers proliferate in this beautiful landscape, many of whom welcome visitors to their galleries and workshops, where a variety of local products of quality can be purchased.

Big Pit: National Mining Museum of Wales
 

Big Pit: National Mining Museum of Wales is a real coal mine and one of the UK's leading mining museums. With facilities to educate and entertain all ages, Big Pit guarantees an exciting and informative day out.
New exciting multi-media displays of modern mining, museum exhibitions in the original pithead baths and colliery buildings open to the public for the first time.

All this, and the world-famous underground tour. Go 300ft underground with a real miner and see what life was like for the thousands of men who worked at the coal face.

Big Pit stands on the edge of Blaenafon; a town which had a vital part to play in the industrial revolution. This revolution transformed the landscape, culture and society of Wales, UK and the world. Awarding World Heritage Status to the town and landscape marked the wider impact of Blaenafon's unique industrial heritage.

In 2005, Big Pit beat off stiff competition to win the prestigious Gulbenkian arts prize of £100,000 for Museum of the Year.
