You NEED TO VISIT WALES! | South West Wales Road Trip

- Welcome to Wales everybody!! I think the theme of this South West Wales road trip is going to be..."I didn't know Wales was this beautiful"
On day one of Stephen's surprise birthday road trip we woke up in Brecon Beacon National Park where we give you a room tour of our van life campervan for the next few days.
After breakfast we head out to explore the National Park at Henrhyd Waterfall before heading to Carreg Cennen Castle to try our first Welsh Cawl to warm us up before climbing up to see the castle ruins.
Afterwards we made our way to One Cat Farm - the cutest little glamping spot - you all need to come here!! We even learnt how to run a campsite!
In the morning after having the most unique bath warmed by a fire, we headed off to explore more of Wales before stopping off at our final campsite - Three Cliffs Bay!

What a cool van 👍
I agree! Wales is awesome! You also NEED to see Caernarfon Castle and town, Conwy castle and " The Great Orme!!!!" There is a train there that takes you to the top - which you might want to ride up instead of drive cause it is so steep and it's awesome to relax while you see and record what it's like as you go up the mountain! The top of the mountain is incredible views and you NEED to see The famous Lighthouse (which is also a bed and breakfast nearby) You will not regret it! :D
I'm English and have been visiting Wales yearly since I was a little girl ...I absolutely adore Wales ...
You looked like you had fun .....
My home country
Love being welsh 🏴

Wales looks so beautiful! Going to have to add it to my neverending list of to-go-to destinations. I'm definitely 100% a nature traveller over city (as much as I loooove cities). There's just something about forests and mountains and waterfalls and all that good stuff that always has me in awe.
Went to Wales when we got off the ferry from Ireland. Travelled along the north west corner and coast and Snowdonia. Absolutely beautiful.
As I am Welsh and from South Wales I love this video!
Such an underrated video as well, good video!
Same I'm a farm kid ☺️
Omg! I wanna go to Wales 💟
The van
The den
The first campfire
The bathtubs
The boating
I wanna do it all!!
Ms. Classicpants and just wait till you hear our choir's !. they are stunning !. happy travels 🎶
So glad you guys finally came to Wales. I hope you are enjoying my home country, it can be so beautiful and scenic at times.
We are obsessed!! We feel Wales is totally underrated!!
Flying The Nest have fun. If you get a chance, Dan yr Ogof showcaves are pretty amazing.
@@jessielynnsparks The place where every school kid goes to on every school trip lmao
I’m from South Wales!! I love being Welsh!
My hometown is Cardiff welcome to wales 🏴 Wales for ever
Yo I'm from Llanelli
same
Wow, now Wales is officially on my list.... Beautiful!!! Your surprises are the BEST, Jess!
Wales looks beautiful! We used a camper van to go all the way around Iceland. It’s an amazing way to travel. It gives you so much mobility to get far into the real countryside since you don’t have to worry about lodging. We’ll definitely be campervanning on more of our trips. And wales is going to be one of those upcoming trips for sure!
Wales is the perfect place for it too!!! 😍
If you're still in wales you need to visit the small island called Angesley, don't worry you only have to drive over a bridge to get there but the beaches and coastal walks are beautiful. Grew up here and its still one of my favourite places for wild beaches. There are also really cute little villages and a small surfing community
*omg same i was born in angelsey, its amazing*
I love wales 🏴! It’s were I go on holiday in summer time and stay at a cottage/cabin or stay in a caravan but it doesn’t move. Wales is beautiful! I say wales is one of the worlds most beautiful countries!
I was born about one mile from Carreg Cennen castle in a mansion called Glynhir 75 years ago. Your videos are some of the best I've seen on TH-cam, and you're a lovely couple too!
Glad you enjoyed your time in Brecon and the Gower Peninsula, sometimes living in the area we forget how beautiful it is. Thanks for showcasing the true beauty of my nation.
omg I think this might be one of my favourite videos of yours! I live in Bristol and have only ever visited Cardiff and never knew Wales was that beautiful! I am 100% visiting next year. Thank you so much for inspiring us all. love you guys
SO BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for the wonderful journey and looking forward to the next.
Travel More! Worry Less!
Travel more! Worry less! ... love that :)
Flying The Nest it’s the motto that my wife and I strive to live by.
I feel so lucky to live so close to these beautiful places you've visited . Right in the middle of the mountains and the beaches! glad you both had a great time!
Your in my lil hometown! The gower is beautiful its so great seeing you guys come here! Love watching your videos, youve really inspired me to go travelling guys, watching foreigners come to britain makes you appreciate your home even more :). If your in the swansea area then joes icecream is a MUST, you can only get it in swansea. Brains beer, welsh cakes, welsh rarebit (welsh cheese on toast), laverbread if your feeling brave and bara brith (fruity tea cake). Wales has the most castles out of any country in europe so if you love your history definately take advantage! Enjoy!! Xx
Ahh so many amazing suggestions thank you!!!!
Tofu_ Tash Swansea joes ice cream is soooo good I had it today
Tofu_ Tash what place was it where they were in a Some kind of cabin i think they called it a dent ??
You neeeed to head to Tenby & St David’s - beautiful welsh towns !

Imagine going to Porthcawl
wales looks INCREDIBLE,definitely gonna visit there before i graduate.thanks for the sharing.travel more and safe!
Thank you for such a brilliant video in my country. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
I just discovered you guys, and after watching your videos I NEVER expected you to visit us here in S Wales!!!! When I saw the title I thought you must have a Wales in Aus haha!! Amazing!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!
Aww LOVE it guys! You basically did everything we did when we went to One Cat Farm - even staying in the same den!! haha :D You make Wales look just gorgeous! Thanks a bunch. Loved the vlog xx
"I didn't know Wales was this beautiful" with beautiful people like you of course it should be , really amazed, tnx.
Naw that was sweet :) We have fallen in LOVE with Wales!!
Lovely birthday surprise for Steve. You picked some fantastic looking places to camp and stay at in this video. I'll put these Welsh spots on my travel wish list.
I always enjoy your peaceful videos. Good vibes all throughout!
Home 🏴❤️ xx
I lived in Wales for 8 years - 5 in the south east & 3 in the north. You should check out the mountains & beaches in North Wales, they are amazing. I know your video is over 6 months old...but you have to try welsh cakes!!! 😍🏴
The natural scenery is so breathtaking! The castles. The farmlands. Even a bit of boating. And a tiny house to stay in. I could just watch this video over and over!
Seriously Wales is soooo underrated!! We LOVE it!
wow wales is beautiful , its not a place i would of thought to spend any time in but its on my list now. thankyou for sharing it with us.
Wales is beautiful, so many different places to explore. If your in the area visit Portmerion, North Wales. Look out for some Bara Brith, a traditional Welsh tea loaf 👍
Yes we want to do the north in the summertime :) Saving it!
You guys are constantly opening my eyes to destinations I haven’t thought of visiting.
That site you were staying at looks amazing...a simple way of living, yet it did look like you both enjoyed yourselves there.
A beautiful episode of love and simplicity. Love you guys.
Went to the Brecon Beacons a year after I first moved to England. It was around Easter time that year ( 1994 ). I can remember while hiking up a mountain, on one side of me it was snowing, and on my front it wasn’t! Wales is a beautiful country, well the places that I visited! Lol! After seeing your vlog it’s convinced me I need to visit North Wales. Thank you for you for sharing your vlog with me.
Thank you for sharing and we love it very much.
I love my country. Beautiful rolling countryside, pristine beaches and rugged mountains but if you want the cities are vibrant too. Good surf in West Wales and dolphins in Cardigan bay. The quirky town of Portmerion. Visiting a Market town on their market day to see local produce. Best of all though......the people.
Wales has so many beautiful places to visit
Happy birthday Stephen! Wales deserves both you!
Awesome, three cliffs is so close to where I live nice to see people appreciate wales
dear Friend love it. Really enjoyed. Thumbs up.
Wishing you good health and beautiful Time.
Naww thank you!
I want to visit Wales so badly, all the photos and videos I've seen of it have looked stunning!
I’m travelling to wales today ! This vlog has made me so much more excited thank you ! Xx

I grew up in Wales but moved to Nashville earlier this year, however, I'm coming home a week today for the holidays and this has made me so unbelievably excited! You truly don't know what you've got until it's gone
AHHHHHH!!! I found your video because I'm just back from vlogging wales and now I've found a whole new part of the country that i have to try! Thanks guys! You're incredible! Subscribed xx
Glad you enjoyed Wales guys!!!!
Wales has lots of national parks and Brecon Beacons National Park is the biggest one and it is so so beautiful
We would love go back to Snowdonia in the summer time!
Jess and stephen for this vlog i would say there must be one superlike button too.I am so mesmerised.Love to you and keep smiling
Jess, I absolutely love all of the surprises you planned for Steven’s Birthday week. Well done!
Aw thanks Lynn! We had the best time this whole week!!
Cant wait love those small and cute places
You guys are living the dream!!
Thanks for coming to Gower. I grew up by Three Cliffs Bay and Pobbles. Hope you had a chance to do a bit of exploring. Wales is often overshadowed by the rest of the UK, and it's lovely to see it from a visitor's perspective. You've so much more to explore and see, come back soon!
Absolutely amazing!! Love being Welsh💞
a fi
As a Welsh baby im so excited to watch these videos. I've been living in the UK for the last 8 years and I miss it so much. I'm looking forward to moving back for university in a year! 💫
This is the most beautiful video of my home country that I've ever seen I've never actually travelled around Wales before and after seeing this I definitely have to
Absolutely amazing. We just returned from our trip to South Wales. I wish I watched this video last week 😭
love your channel and your Van. So cool
Great work as always.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Very creative Birthday and vlog, well done!
I've just found your channel and I love your videos
Looks like an amazing birthday! Also great to know about the van company, we’ll stick it on our list! :)
You Cannot FAIL Wales Its Always a Worthwhile trip ..Must Have driven More Miles In and around Than anywhere But The Mountain wales Is a Must ..Your blown Now Just wait**** >>>>>
Bit late to the party but what’s beautiful video! I live in South Wales and my garden is the Brecon Beacons. It’s a very beautiful country. So glad you enjoyed your trip ❤️❤️❤️
Carreg Cennen in Trapp, Llandeilo, my home town. Line of sight to Dynefwr Castle and Dryslwyn Castle. Proud to be Welsh.
My daughter is called Serenity. Soo funny when you're talking about the van.
It's seems so peaceful there! It would be so good to have a place that is very quiet. Everything there is so cute and pretty!
So so peaceful!!
You guys are soo cute, with the boat lol. Love that u go to lovely places that i havent heard of, map is a great idea, even for people like me from the UK
And i love ur editing style
Look forward to seeing more of your adventures 😁😁😁
Such a wonderful place for camping ⛺️
I’m speechless. I just want to live your life 😍
Looks so amazing! But that fire! 👌
Wales-Cumry is so beautiful I cry every time I see it
Beautiful!!
All of Wales is worth seeing. It's such a beautiful part of Britain (as indeed is the Lake District and Scotland).
Nice to see some familiar place!!!
I'm a Welsh vlogger and am excited to film some shots in the autumn. Best time of year in Wales 😎
Enjoyed the video guys 👌
I love this! Wales looks so beautiful 😍
Wales is AMAZING!!! Recommend everyone to go!
You guys did a great job on the fire. When all else fails, just chuck a heap of firelighters on and cross your fingers ha ha
I hope you guys are still around there to see rhosilli. It's so beautiful. Amazing video as always, that music and photography are so good
I enjoyed this Vlog so much! I'm definitely adding a visit to Wales to my bucket list 🙈
YAY this makes us so happy! Wales is SOOO underrated!!
The waterfall that you went to is in the village of coelbren and I used to go there nearly every day
Wow, that was gorgeous beginning to end! Also loved your google maps with all the "want to go" tags. :D
Love Wales! ❣️❣️❣️
It's so much fun watching you both travel. I Thank You both, cause I don't travel.
Hope you went from Gower further to the west and visited the city Tenby and further north the city Llanberis which lies between 2 lakes and is a good point to either hike up to the Snowdon or take one of the small trains. In Llanberis is a slate museum which is quite nice and a few other things to visit as well.
When i was in Wales (and Cornwall) some years ago i preferred to stay in B&B's. You get in touch with the locals way easier, than if you stay in your van the whole day.
You did so good Jess!!
Well, if none of us can get out there in person...we have the next best thing: you guys bringing it to us. I doubt anyone could do it better. I think I mentioned being on a magic carpet ride since I found this channel...and I haven't landed. Simply magnificent.
Belated birthday wishes to Stephen. Your planning Jess was phenomenal. Safe to say your hubby won't forget it. (BTW it's so cute how you call each other "Bubs" :))
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN!
THANK YOU!!!
Guys this video is awesome, what an amazing place. :D :D :D Beautiful work Jess, Steve you're one lucky bloke that's a pretty awesome birthday week
He is pretty lucky ;) haha
My sister was here this summer and she sent me photos and I was dying!!! So beautiful and the countryside is like something out of a movie. Love it!
I'm in south Wales and we have a chinese lady staying. She said she felt like she was living in a movie lol. Its funny when people say things like that when it is stuff that you just take for granted.
Seriously, Wales is SOO underrated !!!
I’m so proud to be Welsh 🏴❤️
I definitely look forward to visiting Wales! That camper is super rad! 🚐 Have you all seen the tv series Firefly? Their transport in that has the same name.As always, looking forward to next adventure⭐️
Great video xx really enjoyed watching keep up the great content xx
Naw thanks Ava!
Awesome place
You guys have to try traditional welsh cakes and especially a Bakewell tart. The tarts are SO delicious!! I got one when I was in Abergavenny in Wales from a tiny bakery. Amazing ❤️
So cool 🥰
the world famous playground of the regiment
Beautiful
