I love The Gower and Rhosilli, especially walking out to Worm’s Head when the tide is out, but I think I’d put Barafundle above it. It’s just stunning and hidden and the walk there is just 👌. Wales, esp Pembrokeshire is simply stunning.
Thank you, Robbie! We're spending vacation in Wales and Scotland in June 2024 and really appreciate your suggestions for places to visit. You have a great channel.
Purchased both Wales and NC500 books and Map. Books are so thorough. You’ve definitely done the hard work and made it easier for us to plan our trips this year. Really looking forward to getting the camper out. Your books are a godsend thankyou😊.
Bought your guide to the NC500 for our trip in October last year and more or less built our whole itinerary based on your tips and favourites. Pre ordered the Road Trip Wales book for Christmas and have just finished putting together our 8 night road trip which we are planning to take in March this year. Love your guides and videos, keep up the good work.
Yes!❤ I’m going on Friday I can’t wait 🎊 I’m going there to celebrate Easter 🐣 omg I JUST CANT WAIT!! I am the only one in my family that has only packed 😂 I can’t wait! I going in 2 days then 1 day and I’m going :D the best part is my family is so rich that we are going on a prob jet! I promise I’m not lying! I swear 😊
Oops. Wondering why l didn't get the Wales notification.. MY Notification bell was not clicked on EVERYTHING.. 👍 😁 I will be doing Wales this year so starting your WALES ITINERY Vloggs now.. Send me the good weather please Robbie. 👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙❤️❤️
Just back from a 4 night stop in Bangor. Our umpteenth visit to Wales and you cannot leave out Anglesey. Tried getting your book prior to our visit but now ordered for our Summer Trip... not booked yer but definitely happening!!
Thanks for watching! The NC500 is always a great choice, Wales does really pack a punch though and is comparable in terms of things to see, do and natural beauty! All the best :)
Thanks for another great video Robbie. We are looking to visit Wales in October 2023 and do a road trip with many of these sights included. Next on the shopping list is your guide book.
I just found this- and I am upset that I did not see this before - leaving for Whales in 2 weeks you presented a great guide in succinct form - your book looks better than the one I have - I will keep you in mind next time I travel
Our family did the NC500 in October with your guide book. We got your Wales book yesterday so we'll be taking our van there this year 👌 Love the tips you give on taking a dog along too 👍
Thanks Patrick that’s greatly appreciated. You’ll notice the Wales book has a lot more focus on dog friendly beaches and locations once you read through it 😃 I hope you and the family have a great trip there this year 👍
Just received your book today and have been reading through it tonight - really great. We bought a campervan last year so will definitely be visiting all those lovely locations in Wales. Thanks for the clear and informative book. Tell your dogs `I said hi 👋😊
Nice vlog. The timing is great. We just started looking at UK for our World tour planning. You can tell you are a professional writer. Well written dialogue. Subed to see more. Hope all your travel goals and dreams come true this year. We are excited to see your travels and hope you might also enjoy our anthropological travel adventures. Keep up the great work and see you out there. - Turtle and Bear
I’m planning a trip to visit this beautiful country for the first time from the U.S. to Dublin to Wales. Q 1) Is the ferry from Dublin to Holyhead the best way to get there (on a budget)? Q 2) Is getting a rental car a good way to see Wales (Snowdonia Park, castles, etc.)? It looks like there’s beauty everywhere…we just want to explore the sites. Thank you
1. Either the Ferry or you can actually get really cheap flights for example from Birmingham Airport. 2. I’d definitely recommend car hire for travelling around Wales!
Just brought your NC500, done most of Wales but will be investing in the Welsh one soon. All the best Robbie I'm from Stoke on Trent so not far from you. your mileage graphs are a big help
Thanks for yet another mini documentry showcasing the best of the island of Great Britian. It is clear that you are very fond of Wales. There will always be welcome here for you! Thanks. Greetingts from Cardiff. 👍
Hi, Robbie - a quick update for you - we no longer use the Victorian term 'Brecon Beacons', but have officially reverted to the proper name - 'Y Fannau' ( a 'Fan' {van} is an upland moor, and the 'au' ending is the plural. Also, 'pennyvan'? PEN UH VAN ! But an impressive video, and one that will help lots of our visitors, I'm sure! Diolch yn fawr, Den, Llangyfelach.
Thanks Denis - I appreciate the names have changed (the same for Snowdon etc). It’s going to be difficult for us non Welsh speaking folk to pronounce these correctly, I’m terrible with Welsh 😳 Thanks for watching 👍
We are off to tour Wales next month we have a 7.2 metre motorhome and we want to spend a little time in and around Aberaeron is there any car parks you can recommend please?
@@blucif6210 .....Nor me ! Merthyr Tydfil is a hideous dump!!. Incidentally the first train, powered train, was built by Richard Trivithick in 1804 in the North of England 🇬🇧
I'll be in London for 4 days in mid March coming from the east coast of the U.S. Which of these locations in closest to London for a worth it day trip?
beauiful country and she is a nice country ,please and please be careful about natural disaster in your country but i wish you are fine and have a nice day with peace and have a good healthcare and going an oher country and no death in your country
Hi thanks for the video, but Im going to be in Oxford and wanted to take a train for a day trip. Looks like the Cardiff area is the only practical location. Everything else, like Tenby, is a 4-5 hour train trip. Any suggestions for parts of southern Wales closer to England ?😊. Thanks!
Depends what rocks you boat. If it’s history and castles, there is plenty to see around Cardiff. Bannau Brycheiniog is close, but you would need transport. By train you could visit Barry with its beach and Gavin and Stacey connection. St Fagans Welsh Folk Museum is a good day out. Cardiff itself has a lot to offer, Cardiff Castle, Victorian shopping arcades, The National museum and art gallery, with its great collection of impressionist art, Cardiff Bay, Penarth. Cowbridge all close. More than enough for a weekend in the city itself, best civic centre after Washington, loads of good restaurants, parks, river trips, Principality stadium, etc.
@@siarlb8115Thanks for this great info. It looks like I’m looking at about 3.5 hrs train travel each way to Cardiff from Headington, where I’m based. Will be a long day!
Hi, I’m gonna be staying in Oxford & want to take a day trip by train. Does your area have any walk/hiking trails? I see it’s a 3.5 hr train ride so I want to know if it’s worth visiting (Im from US). Thanks.
I'm an American who plans to visit Wales in 2025. Any Welsh people reading this that have some must see places/things/events that I won't find in a tourist guide?
I’ve always loved the coastline down in the Gower and west wales. Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion have amazing coastal paths to walk. Beaches like Tresaith, Newgale, llangrannog, there’s loads of very picturesque places
@@robbieroams Really beautiful. I frequently listen to the Welsh opera singer Lauren Francis so i decided to get more informed about Wales. Lovely part of Britain. More like an independent country than a part of England. Hope i can visit some day. Take care.
If you go to all the trouble of making a video about Cymru, perhaps you could take a few minutes of your busy schedule to learn the correct pronunciation of place names? Who knows, if you are really clever you might also learn the correct names, eg., Eryri, Bannau Brycheiniog, Yr Wyddfa.

Hi robbie
I love The Gower and Rhosilli, especially walking out to Worm’s Head when the tide is out, but I think I’d put Barafundle above it. It’s just stunning and hidden and the walk there is just 👌. Wales, esp Pembrokeshire is simply stunning.
One of my favourite parts of the UK without a doubt 🙌
I live in North Wales 🏴 You've given me some great ideas for days out next year. Thanks ☺
You are so welcome! 🤗

Great video, I have just today bought your wales road trip book.
Looking forward to getting stuck into it
Fantastic thanks so much 👍 Safe travels!
I Being in Rhosili beach and it is astonished. I love Swansea ,watching this video gave me great memories can't wait to go back.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time owning a camper, lone traveller but this book is great. I can’t wait to start my adventures. Thank you
Thanks Tracey best of luck 🙏
Years ago I was in Britain and went Wales watching.

Nice, I'm leaving next saturday for a 3 week vacation in Wales. I'm quite excited. Beautiful country as I can say so far from the videos...
It’s a wonderful country! Have a great adventure 🙌
Thank you Robbie, just purchased your NC500 book. Love the short videos and tips.
Thanks Lisa much appreciated 👍

Just back from a 4 night stop in Bangor. Our umpteenth visit to Wales and you cannot leave out Anglesey. Tried getting your book prior to our visit but now ordered for our Summer Trip... not booked yer but definitely happening!!
Fantastic! I did a mini Anglesey video, not sure if you caught that one? Either way it’s an incredible country for road trips!
@robbieroams .. we did indeed. No trip to Anglesey is complete without a visit to South Stack... especially if you're a bit of a twitcher!!
Great list. I’m going to Rhossili next weekend. However, I would add Three Cliffs Bay to this list.
Absolutely 👍 Although it’s a Top 10 so obviously could only include 10 😀
Great video,
this is going in my bucket list :D,
I've picked NC500 for this year and then i'll see if i pick Wales .
Keep the good work coming.
Thanks for watching! The NC500 is always a great choice, Wales does really pack a punch though and is comparable in terms of things to see, do and natural beauty! All the best :)

@@robbieroams Really appreciated brother. Would love to keep in touch. You never know when you run into another vlogger. Cheers!
As a Welsh native my regular commute to go shopping,goes right past Conwy castle. It really is a beautiful part of the country.
It really is!

This is amazing! Thank you so much 😊 going next month and putting lots of these on the list!
Have a great trip and thanks for watching!
Beautiful. Thank you!
Want to move out from London. Any places you could recommend around Snowdonia or Rhossili&Gower please?
It depends how big of a town / city you’d like to live - Swansea is very close to the Gower 👍
Fab bought the book and going next week
How did the trip go? 😊
I’m going to north wales this year can’t wait
Enjoy ☺️
As a local, Tenby, in summer, is a nightmare.
when in the Gower, dont forget to eat some Pen Clwyd cockles! they are lush!
Thanks for the tip 😊👍
Brilliant video!
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful photography

How did it go? ☺️
@@robbieroams brilliant, I ended up staying for 2 weeks.
Who needs to go abroad
I agree!
I would like to purchase a copy, do you have a link? Is this available in ebook or only print? Thanks and great video. Subscribed!
Print only currently 😀
Some of my ancestors hail from Wales.
Nice 👌
That's a lush video Robbie! Going to Wales in a few weeks and this video has set it up nicely. Thanks
@@colmanduane68 no problem enjoy 😊
Fabulous, but you could tag another 30 places just as good and some better.
Easily 👍

I live in wales and haven’t been to half these places ,.
Wales is an incredible country 🙏

Beautiful Wales. ❤
It sure is 👍
Would you say this trip is motorhome friendly?
100% 👍
Great video, thanks 🤩
Waiting for the delivery of books and maps 👍🏻
… don’t share it too much or we will be too many people in Wales this summer 😂
Thank you 🎉
Reminder! it's Pen-Uh-Van not Penny fan!
Thanks 👍
You missed Portmeirion 🙁
I think it’s a great place but personally not in my Top 10 👍
How can you choose places? Wales is beautiful everywhere😊😊😊
It’s an impossible task 😳
Gav and Stacey 😊🏴
Our favourite 🤩
Nice video, but a bit too focused on the south and beaches for my liking - there's a lot more to Wales!
Thanks 🙏

If you go to all the trouble of making a video about Cymru, perhaps you could take a few minutes of your busy schedule to learn the correct pronunciation of place names? Who knows, if you are really clever you might also learn the correct names, eg., Eryri, Bannau Brycheiniog, Yr Wyddfa.
I agree the language is a tricky one to perfect.
Best place in UK to visit
One of them for sure!
nice country
Thanks
Tenby ,again and again
Wales
Good to see that everyone is still calling Snowdonia,- Snowdonia and not llwyngwichladdbollockio!! , same goes for the Brecon beacons 👍😁
I would call them by their Welsh name but sadly most people don’t know or recognise them by that 😩
Pity about the messed up pronunciation of some of the place names. The letter y is pronounced uh not e. And the classic is ff is f and f is v.
Apologies I’m working on my Welsh!
