There are plenty of unmissable experiences to savor, unexpected treasures to discover, and road trip detours to make along the way. Don’t miss a trip to Borth Beach in Ceredigion where, come low tide, you’ll see the remains of a submerged ancient forest sticking out of the sand.

For great photos, stop at Portmeirion, an Italianate village built between 1925 and 1976, featuring a central piazza and houses inspired by those on the Italian Riviera.
