| | Mid Wales is the place for lovers of the great outdoors as it's the most rural part of the country. |
| The area boasts two National Parks - Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons - and both are well worth exploring. |
| Snowdonia - which although named after the country's highest mountain doesn't actually include it (the peak is actually in North Wales) has a feast of activities on offer all in a stunning setting. |
In 840 square miles of unspoilt beauty there's no shortage of things to do. And you don;t have to be a fitness fan to enjoy them. Take the narrow gauge railway from the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog along the scenic route to Porthmadog. Or explore the slate mines themselves. Outdoor activities abound - walking, cycling and mountain climbing. |
| In Brecon Beacons there's plenty to keep visitors busy - sailing on the Brecon Canal, golfing, and museums charting the history of the area. |
| On Mid Wales' coastline Cardigan Bay is hard to beat - and part of it has been designated a Marine Heritage Coast, meaning it's home to a whole host of flora and fauna. Here you'll also find grey seals, bottlenose dolphins and porpoise in the waters. |
| The Mid Wales area has also become known as home of the relatively rare Red Kite and the population of these birds is on the increase with an estimated 285 pairs now breeding in this part of the world. |
Aberystwyth is probably the best known town in this area and a popular holiday base. A university town, it has its own castle and the longest cliff railway in Britain, from where there are some lovely views of the town and the surrounding landscape to enjoy. |
