A big welcome from the Holiday-Ideas Wales contributors.

We invite you come and explore Wales, no passport needed.

I’m sure a holiday abroad is not needed this year when you get to see some of the places we have visited in Wales.
This website page doesn’t promote the big attractions but rather the places the locals know and visit. Covid19 may have hit our holiday budget but the places depicted here are largely free to experience. I welcome you to share your idea of bliss with the aim of someone following in your footsteps. 

We know lots of places to visit for locals and holiday makers. We have heaps of staycation and road trips tried and tasted itineraries.  When you visit a place for the first time it can be hard to grasp an area that you don’t know in a short stay. So we’ve teamed up with the locals and asked them to chip in and share with you their special places;  not the top ten attractions in the area you can find them on every website easily, but rather the places the locals spend their days off and free time. These unique and special places are not featured on websites much as they are not commercially viable to do so.  These are the places off the beaten track, wild, beautiful and hidden in plane sight.  It’s not what you know it’s who you know….right? 

We have asked the locals, and the people who holiday here to share their trips with you for free. This is the insider guide, the cheat sheet, just a little research to get you a great holiday without it costing the earth, literally. Iechyd da! Shelly Holiday Ideas

I've been on 7 days out so far, I've followed some and made a few up myself. Thoroughly enjoyable. Great idea and didn't cost to do them either.
