If you’re craving a road trip through lush green hills, rugged coastline, and ancient castles, then Wales offers the perfect playground for a campervan adventure. At Vdubline, we’re proud to offer beautifully restored VW campervans that combine classic style with practical comfort, making them your ideal companion for a seven-day journey through this magical country.
Day 1: From Cardiff to the Brecon Beacons
Begin in Cardiff, Wales’s vibrant capital. Explore the city’s highlights like St Fagans National Museum of History, an open-air museum showcasing historic Welsh life. Pick up your VW campervan from Vdubline and head north into the Brecon Beacons National Park. The dramatic landscapes here are perfect for your first night of wild camping (or a friendly campsite), and you’ll love the tranquillity as you settle in under starry skies.
Day 2: Brecon Beacons Adventures
Spend the day hiking through rolling hills and valleys. Tackle Pen y Fan, the highest peak in southern Wales, or join a guided walk. The Brecon Beacons are also a designated International Dark Sky Reserve, so when night falls, you can stargaze like nowhere else. On calmer evenings, relaxing in your campervan with a hot drink feels just right.
Day 3: Into Mid-Wales – Aberystwyth and Elan Valley
Cruise through the undulating landscapes toward Aberystwyth, a charming coastal town. Dive into the literary town’s cafés or visit the nearby Elan Valley, with its dams, reservoirs, and dramatic scenery — ideal for a relaxed drive and a peaceful overnight stop in your VW campervan.
Day 4: North to Snowdonia
From Aberystwyth, head north into Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Even if you don’t plan to summit Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the mountain vistas, waterfalls, and quaint villages like Beddgelert will enchant you. There are plenty of scenic campsites: park your Vdubline campervan, enjoy a hearty camp-style dinner, and breathe in pure mountain air.
Day 5: Portmeirion & Coastal Magic
Today explore the whimsical village of Portmeirion, with its Italian-inspired architecture and colourful buildings. Then, drive along the Wales Coastal Way, passing rugged cliffs, coastal paths, and sweeping ocean views. Staying in your VW campervan gives you the flexibility to pull off and soak in the sights when it feels right.
Day 6: Pembrokeshire Coast & Ramsey Island
Head southwest to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, where the ocean meets dramatic cliffs. The area is famed for its Blue Flag beaches, wild walkways, and wildlife. Take a trip by boat to Ramsey Island, home to nesting sea birds and seal colonies. Once you’re back, spend the night near Newgale Beach, a vast sandy stretch beloved by surfers and campers alike.
Day 7: Coastal Towns & Return to Cardiff
On your final day, travel through charming Pembrokeshire towns — perhaps visiting Barafundle Bay, a hidden gem of golden sands nestled between cliffs. Then, make your way back to Cardiff via country lanes, reflecting on a week of discovery. Return your VW campervan to Vdubline, feeling rejuvenated and inspired by Wales’s wild beauty.
