Hotels in South Wales, United Kingdom

South Wales, in the southern part of the UK, has a mild maritime climate with cool summers averaging 68°F (20°C) and wet winters around 45°F (7°C). It's famous for its medieval castles like Caerphilly-the second largest in Britain-and the sandy beaches of the Gower Peninsula, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In summer, you can hike the Brecon Beacons to reach Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain, or surf at Llangennith on the Gower; winter is perfect for exploring Cardiff's National Museum or touring Caerphilly Castle with far fewer tourists.
