Wales is one of the most popular destinations for touring, with the varied and rugged Welsh coastline offering spectacular views and the chance to spot some wonderful wildlife. Walkers should take a look at the Wales Coast Path website (www.walescoastpath.gov.uk/) for a series of walks and the highlights along its 870-mile length.
