Summer is the best season to visit Wales as the weather is generally milder and there are a number of festivals and events around the country to enjoy. Of course, this means higher prices, especially in the coastal areas and national parks, as well as more visitors than other times of the year. If you are hoping to do hikes or visit small villages, you’ll avoid crowds by going in spring.

Autumn is not dissimilar to spring but make sure you bring your waterproofs. September can be a great month to visit as the weather is generally pleasant with less crowds at the top sights and national parks.

Finally, in the winter season, it can get pretty cold. January and February are particularly bitter, and roads can be closed by snow, but if you’re the adventurous type, the trails, the paths, the pubs, will be all yours. Be aware though that some natural sights may be difficult to visit and may even close over winter. This could be a great time to sample the culture and sights of Cardiff.
