How to Prepare for Your Wales Road Trip

Make sure that your vehicle is in good condition before you leave.

Wales is a beautiful place but it’s also very old. It’s part of the appeal. If you want to make the most of your trip, you will also encounter a lot bumpy country road. Your car or campervan should be able to handle uneven terrain. The wheels must be able tackle motorways as well as valleys. Consider buying new tyres for this vehicle online.

Take a moment to consider how much time you’ve got.

Wales is huge and you won’t see it all in one weekend. Don’t do the North and South if you only have 3 days. Allow yourself to explore, and then choose. The middle part of Wales is also worth mentioning. You’ll see rolling hillsides, and yes, countless sheep fields. It’s a great region to visit if you are able. Google Maps will be your best friend. You can plot your route and get a rough idea of the time it will take.Image by Roman Grac, Pixabay

Learn some Welsh

Welsh is an incredibly beautiful, but often misunderstood, language that once was in danger of disappearing forever. Many people are extremely proud of the language and use it whenever possible. Locals will be grateful if you can speak a few Welsh words. Particularly in the West/North. You might get a pint for free. You’ll at least make some new friends.

Wales Road Trip: Prepare for the Weather

Don’t forget to bring your umbrella, even if the summer is at its peak. Wales isn’t known for its sunny weather. Some of the Gower beaches in the southwest region are stunning during the summer, so make sure you don’t forget to bring your sunscreen!
