Tempted by European travel but turned off by crowds and overrun cities? Consider Wales. Kid-friendly fun here means time in the outdoors; active travelers are rewarded with some of the best natural scenery in the world. Hike up mountains in Snowdonia or run free on empty beaches in Pembrokeshire. Sleep soundly each night at rural farms dotted with charming rental cottages and cabins, or book a village bed-and-breakfast that maintains kid-friendly appeal with warm hospitality and cozy bedrooms. You’ll wonder why more families don’t come to Wales on vacation — but you’ll be thankful they don’t.
