Gower, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Cardin Bay are really beautiful with wonderful clean beaches to visit. In Wales you are never far away from both the Mountains and the Sea. Visitors to these shores include Dolphins, Basking Sharks, Porpoises, Atlantic Grey Seals and Leather Back Turtles.
The Gower peninsula was the first to be acknowledged by the British Government as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956.
There are many islands off the Welsh mainland, Ynys Mon (Anglesey) is the largest. The highest peak in Wales is 3,560 ft high and called Snowdon and the highest mountains are dark and craggy.
If you travel down South, as you move along the land starts becoming softer, but is still very hilly. The South of Wales is the place where industrial revolution did take place. It has a totally different feel than the rest of Wales. Here are steep sided valleys, once home to the coal-mines crafted by the three rivers of Rhymney, Rhondda Taff and Cynon.
It is said Welsh people like talking, and of course love telling stories and singing. To celebrate their proud Literature they organize a Literature Festival each year in Hay-on Wey. It attracts lots of big shots from the Literary world from all over the planet.
In Wales everybody sings to celebrate victory. During the Rugby matches you can see the people chanting the National Anthem, Hen Wlad Fy Nadhau (Land of my Fathers). The Harp and pibgorn (wooden pipe).can be heard at many places. Many new rock bands have also come up recently like Manic Street Preachers, Frizbee and some of the oldies like Bryn Fon, Meic Stevens and Dafydd Iwan are still going strong.
If you are a foodie or just looking for a hearty meal then Wales will please you in all these ways and more. Give your taste-buds a treat and be adventurous and visit the various eateries around offering the locally prepared dishes fresh. You will find many Restaurants boasting Michelin-starred perfection here.
World renowned Welsh Lamb and the Welsh Black Beef are not the only good things to taste, but others like Laverbread (a seaweed) often fried into crisp patties with eggs, bacon and fresh cockles for a traditional Welsh breakfast.
If you love cheese, Wales is a place that makes 600 different types of cheese dishes. For those who love cooking, a visit to one of the farmer's market or farmer shops is a must.
You can also go to a Food Festivals, which happen all throughout the year, and you can meet the actual food producers, meet top chefs and watch them prepare exquisite dishes and sample some right yummy treats.
Wales will be a perfect destination for all you food buffs and Tourists with tantalizing tastes.
Near the city centre, the Millennium Stadium hosts many sporting events and concerts and has been especially worthy of note for hosting the FA Cup in recent years. There is an active nightclub scene and a huge variety of restaurants on offer. Cardiff also has a large, popular shopping centre.
The Prince Of Wales Wetherspoons public house near Cardiff Central railway station is a good venue that I visit reasonably often. It's a nice pub which offers food and drinks at reasonable prices, and there is no loud music to drown out conversion; it's an ideal environment for a date. It used to be the Prince Of Wales Theatre, and it has retained some of its former charm. If you prefer fast food, there are plenty of places that offer this, and you can find coffee houses practically around every corner.
With regards theatres, St Davids Hall and the New Theatre are located in the city centre. They provide a wide variety of performances and are usually good value.
Formerly Cardiff Docks, the Bay area of the city is worth an evening stroll in the summer. It has been developed and is now an attractive, if expensive, part of the city. It contains many more restaurants, a ten-pin bowling alley, and various other attractions. A local company provides speed dating events at a venue near the bay.
There is an Ikea in nearby Grangetown that is also a good place to visit for a meal, although I wouldn't take a first date there.
There are also various parks and a free-entry museum located around the City Hall, which can be found to the north of the city centre.
You might also wish to take your date to nearby Cardiff Castle, also just to the north of the city centre, or Castell Coch, which can be found just outside the borders.
You could take your date for a tour of the Museum of Welsh Life at St Fagans. You can enter for free; a small fee is levied for parking. St Fagans has some excellent gardens, and you could wander round while having a chat.
If you're driving, an excellent place for a reasonably-priced meal is right next to the service area of junction 30 of the M4 (but not part of the services themselves), where you will find a Toby Carvery. At the time of writing, I had my first date with my current girlfriend there. You'll get a warm, friendly atmosphere and nice food and drink. It's especially pleasant and romantic on a warm summer evening to eat your meal under the sky!
