Wales Coast Path

Celtic Trails is the leading walking holiday provider in Wales with over 15 years experience providing high quality Independent Self Guided , Guided and Private walking trips throughout Wales.

Walking through Wales you quickly discover why it is different and unique Known as Cymru in its own language, ‘the Land of Comrades’, Wales is a nation culture and language that is the sole remaining part of a Britain that has long disappeared.

Ancient Celtic trails thread their amongst some of the oldest, most beautiful yet least explored landscapes in Britain, where you will meet few other people along the way.

Surrounded on three sides by the sea, Wales is a peninsula of unspoiled natural beauty and scenic contrasts - gently rolling hills, secluded valleys, grey stone farmhouses and dry stone walls disappearing over dramatic mountain ranges, sparkling glacial lakes, and breathtaking panoramic coastal scenery all crop up unexpectedly round every bend.

This is superb walking country. Wales’s ancient landscape hides a network of hidden trails and paths, a legacy left by its early Celtic inhabitants and other occupiers.

Within its small expanse lies a land of spectacular contrasts and scenery that constantly changes and surprises you.

Each day is different as we guide you along some of Britain’s best walking trails once traversed by ancient Celts and earlier occupiers
