four years after you uploaded, the algorithm finally gives it to me! 60-years old Mumbles man here, living in Brunei. So nice to see my old haunts especially the Mumbles! I left the UK in 2010, last visit was 2017....must return soon! Lovely video, thanks!
Wales - one of the most beautyfull places on earth. And highly underrated. Even by the welch themselves. We were often asked: "So, what brings you to Wales?" Us: "holliday!" and the reply was often: "Why?" 🙂 One of our favourites is Beaumaris and the nearby Puffin Island. 🙂
FANTASTIC TH-cam clip .WAS BROUGHT UP ON A FARM FROM THE AGE OF 2 MONTHS LIVED THERE FOR 17 YEARS . JUST OUT STANDING BEAUTY. MY WIFE AND MY SELF ARE GOING DOWN TO TENBY TO MORROW FOR 2 WEEKS FIRST TIME BACK IN 48 YEARS JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE BEUTYFULL PLACE AGAIN .❤❤
This is a wonderful video, thanks so much. I'm a Londoner, but fell in love with Wales long ago. The Gower is genuinely one of my favourite places on earth, especially when the sun is shining!
You must have money to travel so I suppose I will never see Wales, and I can't even imagine what it is like to live near the ocean. It's like a different world. So interesting and beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful video.
Love our beautiful country.. how many people have moved to Wales in the last 18 months? The Welsh people and the Welsh language is important too. I met a women few days ago bragging she bought Gareth Thomas house in Bridgend area and huge house on the Pembrokeshire coast for holiday homes 😢
I was born in South Wales so I know the South Wales coast fairly well and there are some lovely villages etc along the South Wales coast; in land too. The Glamorgan Heritage coast is very beautiful. Fontagary bay very nice with it's pebble beach
Hi, thanks for commenting. We love California too, we've been there a couple of times and want to try the north of the state next time which hopefully will be sooner rather than later.
I too lived in Rest Bay Porthcawl in my childhood and spent many lovely days on the beach there, and Pink Bay and Kenfig. Also love Porthkerry in Barry and Saundersfoot near Tenby (sadly, my memories of Tenby involve lots of rain!). The pub at Worm's Head is amazing to sip a pint during a storm!!
I lived in Porthcawl and spent so much time at Rest Bay. Used to ride my bike along the country lanes. Also loved Trecco Bay and Ogmore. Had a wonderful time in Tenby, beautiful memories. I am old now and live in Australia but my heart still lives in Wales
Coming to South Wales in July for a few days and came across your guide . Excellent , just what I was looking for and very well put together .. Cheers 👍
Nice to see the Glamorgan Heritage Coast an Merthyr Mawr sand dunes mentioned because a lot of people don’t know about it and it’s a beautiful place that I’m proud to call home!
What a fabulous video to have stumbled accross! My partner and I are looking for a honeymoon destination in Wales, and this has been really informative and helpful - thank you :-)
Thank you for the lovely video! My husband and I had been talking about visiting this area for years and finally booked travel for later this year, which day by day looks less and less like it will happen :( But we shall see! Hopefully we will be able to visit, at least some day!
Such a well put together video! S. Wales is blessed with Outstanding Features. Castles. Beaches. Parks.Ect act. My ( Ours ) Favourite was always The Gower Peninsula in particular Rhossili!! A Great friend & I would Always travel west on public transport just ,too be there. Sadly he is no longer with us .His Son and I scattered his ashes on Land & Sea at Beautiful Rhossili. R.I.P Skipps. Many thanks and Kind regards Colyn.
Great video, thanks for putting this up. I really enjoyed it. I'm 55, Cardiff born and have lived most of my life in south Wales. I've visited most places along the coast and I'd say your choices are spot on. If I was to add one more, it would be Whiteford Sands and the area around Llanmadoc on the Gower. It has a beautiful large beach with quite extensive sand dunes and it's surrounded by very pretty countryside. It's a bit of a personal choice though - I have so many memories of summer holidays there, camping with my parents in the 1970s!
Absolute agreement! I grew up in Porthcawl and have most happy memories of Tenby. Any chance of a video on Porthcawl schools? Not all happy days, but...
This video is great! Visiting Wales in May and this video has given me some clues of where to go. Does anyone have any advice on where I should start and end a walking holiday of a week or so where I can easily get somewhere to stay each night?
The Wales coast path is great and we love the coast of Pembrokeshire (also Gower) getting a place every night could be tricky but still should be OK in May.
Very hard to put them in order but a very good choice of locations. I’ve been to all of them my self. The only one I question putting in the top ten is Rest Bay. Don’t get me wrong it’s beautiful and I love Porthcawl but there’s far nicer places. I would of had Oxwich Bay on the list for certain. Thank you for that tho, lovely video and well put together 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for commenting, Rest Bay is a great place for families and surfing and easy to get to from the M4. But there's a bit of bias (well more than a bit) because it's my home beach and where I used to play as a kid, so I had to include it.
You should be grateful for the Senedd. It’s literally only bit of control we’ve had in our own country since Edward I built those castles you’re so fond of.
Depends on what you like to do and how much time (and the eather), Rest Bay, Porthcawl has surf schools and board rentals, If walking is your thing, then the Gower and Worms Head is beautiful. For just a pretty seaside experience Tenby is our favourite town
@@flydriveexplorethanks . i got 4 boyss.2 teen 2 toddlers.dont mind to spend money.if you want to add any thing else.i will be happy.and im going to stay 3 nights
Sorry, Mr West - Should I say 10 minutes from A40 which is the dual carriage from the A48 and M4 - As you drive down west it is the MAIN road. Happy Now????????? Next time I'll consider ALL the comments from the pedantic road classification enthusiasts.

I don't half miss Wales, living in NZ now, but my heart is always there. Thank you for a great vid that has stirred memories.
Thanks for watching 👍
This is a wonderful video, thanks so much. I'm a Londoner, but fell in love with Wales long ago. The Gower is genuinely one of my favourite places on earth, especially when the sun is shining!
Glad you enjoyed it! It's been a great weekend here.

Thanks, we do enjoy living by the sea, especially during the storms (watching from indoors of course).
From Newport myself. 58yrs old and I'd forgotten what a beautiful land we are blessed to live. Thank you. Bless.🏴
Same here, you can forget what's around us.
Great presentation of the top 10 spots on the South Wales Coast 👏 Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for watching
Very Informative video. I've just come Back from Wales and it has become my absolute favourite place in the world! I can't wait to co.e back again.

Hi and thanks for watching the channel
I was born in South Wales so I know the South Wales coast fairly well and there are some lovely villages etc along the South Wales coast; in land too. The Glamorgan Heritage coast is very beautiful. Fontagary bay very nice with it's pebble beach
Yes, I've filmed a few walks around the Vale of Glamorgan.
Greetings from California. Thank you for the informative summary of your beautiful lands. A remarkable part of the world. Ilya.
Hi, thanks for commenting. We love California too, we've been there a couple of times and want to try the north of the state next time which hopefully will be sooner rather than later.
Eine gute Idee - wir hatten 3 Urlaube in Wales - überall war es wunderbar. Wir lieben Wales. Grüße aus Deutschland.
Danke.
Hallo aus Wales
Ich danke dir für die Erinnerungen - bleib vorsichtig und gesund !
my one and only trip to Wales so far, we visited Tenby , it was beautiful and fascinating and I hope to visit again
We love Tenby, we haven't had a chance to visit since Jan, hopefully, next month.
Such a nice and helpful video! I can’t wait to go to Wales! So many cute and beautiful places. Thank you! :)
Glad you enjoyed!
I too lived in Rest Bay Porthcawl in my childhood and spent many lovely days on the beach there, and Pink Bay and Kenfig. Also love Porthkerry in Barry and Saundersfoot near Tenby (sadly, my memories of Tenby involve lots of rain!). The pub at Worm's Head is amazing to sip a pint during a storm!!
Yep, we can get a lot of rain. Inside a warm pub is a great way to watch the winter storms.

Cracking video. Will be exploring many of them summer, thanks for the tips
Thanks, have a good summer exploring.
@@flydriveexplore will do. Carry on the fan vids. Always enjoyable.
Another place which is a great place to visit for beautiful views and historic items is Burry port to Pembrey Country Park.
Hopefully, when the weather improves and we're allowed to travel again we can explore the area.
@@flydriveexplore and where the film doctor who touchwood
Coming to South Wales in July for a few days and came across your guide .
Excellent , just what I was looking for and very well put together .. Cheers 👍
Thanks. Hope you enjoy your trip and get the weather we're getting at the moment.

Agree, a beautiful but very underrated area.
Thank you for this gorgeous video - I visited Pembrokeshire not long ago and it was honestly dreamy. Will take your tips on board for next time! x
Glad it was helpful and thank you for commenting.
Very Beautiful. amazing buildings.😊
Thank you and we following your advice yesterday we were in Tenby and tomorrow will visit Swansea! Wonderful
Thanks for the comments, looks like it's going to be a windy day in Swansea
A pleasure to watch this. Thank you :)
Thanks, love the pipe!
South wales is a stunning countryside
Thank you soo much for including mumbles!!!
Marcus, absolutely fabulous - when we can travel again we'll head over to Wales, and this is an inspirational list - thanks again bud, stay safe
Thanks, we can't wait to get out but at least we can still walk to Rest Bay. It's really quiet as well.
Wonderful Wales
I really didn't need more places to add to my list should I ever visit Wales lol It is quickly ascending my list of future trips!
Some of the beaches are the best we've seen and they are usually not that crowded. Hope you get to visit soon.
What a fabulous video to have stumbled accross! My partner and I are looking for a honeymoon destination in Wales, and this has been really informative and helpful - thank you :-)
Glad it was helpful, we love the coast of South and West Wales but inland is beautiful too, all very underrated.
Thank you for the lovely video! My husband and I had been talking about visiting this area for years and finally booked travel for later this year, which day by day looks less and less like it will happen :( But we shall see! Hopefully we will be able to visit, at least some day!
Yep, you'll get to visit in the not too distant future. As you can see, most of the time it isn't that busy.

Brilliant , I Love Tenby , I'm there most summers , But Stackpole is my favourite beach .... Regards from Abertillery .. Diolch 👍
Hi, we hope to be heading west soon now that we are allowed to travel a bit.
Thank you SO much. From Italy
You are welcome!
I live in south wales very romantic places
Good choices! Enjoyed your video.

Thank you
Curious, did you frequent the Knight's Arms? I must have seen you somewhere in the '70s and '80s. Great to see many of my childhood places too.
I didn't really start going out until the mid 80s when the Knights was in decline.
I can’t believe Aberavon beach never made the list !!
_Really_ interesting video and a few we haven't been to yet. Thank you both
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi looking to tour south wales coast next year, nice video ,very interesting thanks
Thanks for watching. Hope you have a good time.
I haven't been to Tenby since about 1980 ish, I think ill be taking a drive when the U.K. reopens, not far from Neath.
We'll be doing the same. It's still really nice just avoid the bank holidays like other seaside resorts.
Thanks for all the brilliant Info!
Cheers
Great choices (Rest Bay local here) :)
It's a great beach.
Great vid mate, Photography is my hobby and was just looking for some new ideas and now i have some , thanks Russ from Caerphilly
Thanks, I've also down quite a few other videos of places around South Wales during lockdown. Some of them are not so well known.
@@flydriveexplore Thanks will have a look
Nice 😃! I love the beach 🏖️ and went to Swansea Uni. In 2000
Great beaches, my brother studied civil engineering there, quite a few years ago!
@@flydriveexplore it must be crowded in the summer... I think the people were a bit easier to talk to than the English 😄
@@BasicBeachCommunity1 The beaches are quite long so it never gets too busy.
Nice video and promotion of our beautiful country!
Thanks.
Absolute agreement!
I grew up in Porthcawl and have most happy memories of Tenby.
Any chance of a video on Porthcawl schools? Not all happy days, but...
I went to Porthcawl comp, not all great. Not sure if I fancy doing a schools vid but will be doing more Porthcawl until we can travel again.
@@flydriveexplore Dyfed House!
I visited in the 90s. Graham Watkins and Ted Clarke were still teaching.
@@OnASeasideMission I was there in the 80's Mr Clarke was scary!!!
Would you believe 65 to 70?
Scary? One day I was doing something in my Chem book and 'That' voice right behind me went 'not a clue!'
😂😂😂
This video is great! Visiting Wales in May and this video has given me some clues of where to go. Does anyone have any advice on where I should start and end a walking holiday of a week or so where I can easily get somewhere to stay each night?

Fly Drive Explore Also so beautiful sunsets there too 👌🏼
You should be grateful for the Senedd. It’s literally only bit of control we’ve had in our own country since Edward I built those castles you’re so fond of.
Is that you again Mr Drakeford?
You missed Barry island and the fairy castle and Caerphilly castle.
I'm from Porthcawl so Barry was the rival seaside town. I think Barry may deserve its own stand-alone video.
Apparently my family directly descended from South Wales 🏴
Where did they travel to?
Nice one ❣️👍
Thanks
Sker is also a name of Viking origin.
Yes, I've done a few videos about Sker, history and ghost stories.
I live in south Wales
I live in the vale of glamorgan
Hi, I just want to ask you pls. I don't have a car what you suggest to me to visit in wales
Go to the capital city, Cardiff and take trips from there, this would be the best option.
Cf104rt im visiting this area this monday .what we can do.what activities their is?
Depends on what you like to do and how much time (and the eather), Rest Bay, Porthcawl has surf schools and board rentals, If walking is your thing, then the Gower and Worms Head is beautiful. For just a pretty seaside experience Tenby is our favourite town
@@flydriveexplorethanks . i got 4 boyss.2 teen 2 toddlers.dont mind to spend money.if you want to add any thing else.i will be happy.and im going to stay 3 nights
There is no need to cut to your room.
None.
Thanks for the tips Mr Spielberg.
Laugharne - "10 minutes from the Motorway" - oh no its not. Get a map !
Sorry, Mr West - Should I say 10 minutes from A40 which is the dual carriage from the A48 and M4 - As you drive down west it is the MAIN road.
Happy Now?????????
Next time I'll consider ALL the comments from the pedantic road classification enthusiasts.
