Treasures
- Welsh cakes - must in Wales, unfortunately my mother makes the best ones from my grandmothers receipe so it’s unlikely you’ll get to eat the best, but they are all worth a try
- **Cockles & lava bread** - very popular in the South - if you like seafood give it a go - not one for me
- **In the Welsh wind** - make your own gin custom to your tastes - really good experience if you like gin - you tailor your own and walk away with a bottle of it
South Wales
Cardiff
Capital city of Wales
Great place to shop, a lovely castle and some cracking places to eat & drink

- Places in and around the city centre
- Cardiff caste [map] - a castle in the centre of the city
- Cardiff shopping - start at St Davids 2 [map] and work your way outwards St Davids is the best and cheapest parking too
- Castell Coch [map] - Fairytale castle - outside the city near just off the M4
Barry
Home of Gavin & Stacey - tbh, not really worth a visit, but a seaside town you might be interested in [map]
