Romantic locations of Wales

Do you want to take your sweetheart to one of Wales’ most beautiful places on St. Dwynwen’s Day?

(‘Diwrnod Santes Dwynwen’ is the Welsh equivalent of Valentine’s Day, celebrated annually on 25 January)

From Llanfair to Welshpool, the National Trust in Wales has published a collection of photos of Wales’ most romantic spots—views that capture the feeling of “I love you.”

The National Trust in Wales said:

“We have chosen a selection of views that will inspire ‘love at first sight,’ which can be easily missed if you don’t know where to look.”

O Lanfair i’r Trallwng, mae’r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol yng Nghymru wedi cyhoeddi casgliad o luniau o fannau mwyaf rhamantus Cymru, golygfeydd sy’n cyfleu “dw i’n dy garu di”.

Dywedodd yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol yng Nghymru:

“Rydym wedi dewis detholiad o olygfeydd a fydd yn ennyn ‘cariad ar yr olwg gyntaf’, y gellir eu methu’n hawdd os nad ydych yn gwybod ym mhle i edrych.”
