Wales has a temperate climate with 4 seasons.
The best times to visit is during the summer months: May, June, July and August are generally the sunniest and driest months, usually partly cloudy, but it never really gets very hot, and rarely above 80°C.
Winters are mostly cloudy, cold, windy and likely wet, though rarely drops below freezing 0°C.
West of Wales is the Atlantic Ocean, responsible for a lot of the weather received, for which Wales usually bears the brunt, lying right under the jet stream where the hot and cold air collide.
Always be prepared for precipitation, especially in mountainous areas!
While the UK ranks highly at position 15 on a global scale (0.94, 2022), of the Human Development Index (a UN Development Programme measure of people’s capabilities, not economic growth), sub-region Wales is lower at 0.898 (2021). These trips seek to support local society in a number of ways:
Small groups: max enjoyment, less community pressures
Local suppliers mean local stewardship
Tours support local rural employment
Benefit from local guides’ local knowledge
Gain insight into farming culture
Learn the language! Keeping the Welsh language alive is sacred here, so you’re encouraged to learn simple words and phrases during your time. Even pronouncing place names can be a challenge, but a fun way to get to grips with the local culture!
Learn about the locality: The trips may be outdoors adventure, but local guides will highlight architectural and environmental landmarks too – history is everywhere but if you don’t know what to look for, it can be hard to find in lumps, bumps and tumbledown ruins: Iron age hill forts lie scattered across the hillsides, traces of the slate mining industry once dominated the North. Learning about the history and culture of a region brings life and soul to a place.
Farming culture: More than 80% of Wales’ land area is dedicated to farming, so respecting the countryside code, understanding farming practices and recognising its importance to local economy, culture and wildlife conservation is important for anyone visiting. This includes adhering to recognised walking trails and bridleways, closing gates, taking litter home and leaving wild plants and animals in their rightful place.
Diolch! (Welsh for thank you!)
Local guides educate about the local area and share local knowledge so you’ll become more immersed in the local way of living, and help preserve local customs for future generations.
Local guides’ knowledge means the landscape comes alive with historical significance.
Wales is the only country in the world to have legislated to protect the interests of future generations, and have appointed somebody independent to oversee that!
Every adventure tours UK trip supports local, independent businesses what make the world an interesting place, for
The Mission is:
Whilst the UK is a relatively wealthy country, there are still many areas where communities need support.
Businesses can catalyse change faster than any government – and tourism, reaching into many communities as it does, is well-placed to take up the mantle.
Wales is one of the first countries in the world to have sustainability written in its government legislation. Whether it is renewable energy, zero waste strategies or the Well-being of Future Generations Act, Wales has a clear ambition to create a sustainable future with 7 clear goals, and because everything’s connected, all public bodies must work to achieve all of them:
Wales generates twice as much electricity as it uses, exporting the surplus. It pioneered the 5p plastic bag charge to cut waste and pollution. A tree is planted in Wales & Uganda for every child born or adopted in Wales!
“We hope that what Wales is doing today the world will do tomorrow.” – Former Head of Sustainable Development at the United Nations, 2016
