【推荐1】It can be a struggle to find activities on holiday that children will enjoy, but in Wales there are plenty of options. These four family favourites are surefire ways to keep the kids entertained…
Caernarfon Castle
This magnificent fortress was built on the Welsh coastline in the 13th century. Caernarfon Castle is a historic paradise for children, alive with towers to climb, city walls to march along, and （with imagination）princes and princesses to rescue.
Rhossili Bay
The most splendid of the Gower Peninsula beaches—all three broad miles of it—conceals a mysterious secret. At high tide, the remains of the Helvetia, a wooden ship which ran aground in 1887, show itself.
Talyllyn Railway
Wales still echoes to the sound of steam trains of yesteryear, and the Talyllyn Railway, near Cardigan Bay at Tywyn, is perhaps the prettiest. It rises for seven miles along a narrow track. You will surely see “guest appearances” by engines from the world of Thomas the Tank Engine.
The National Eisteddfod
There is always a buzz when the National Eisteddfod—a great coming-together, which spins around music, poetry and food—clicks into operation. This year it will take place right by the sea at Cardiff Bay, offering hundreds of free activities and events for the whole family.
