Answers:
cardiff is a great place to go, its well sign posted to get to and has got lots to do there, and the welsh are really freindly which is a bonus!
I live 8 miles from end of m4 that means I am close to three castles the black mountains 30 minuites from the sea and plenty of other places to visit. It depends what your looking for
North Wales is where the scenery is:
Snowdonia for mountains
Castles at Conwy, Harlech, Caernarfon, Beaumaris to name a few
And probably the most beautiful place to visit and stay is Portmeirion. See the website - gorgeous. It's where the Prisoner was filmed.

It's a wonderful hotel, I was there last month and I am going back for 2 nights next week, at the moment the are doing a special offer of £75.00p per person per night if you stay 2 nights or ore nad that includes dinner or one of their spa treatments each..check it out.

BTW I own a hotel myself in Wales so I am a good judge.
Laugharne pronounced Larn is a lovely little seaside village, Dylan Thomas did most of his writing. Just round the headland is where his place is.
Pembrokeshire - beautiful countryside, gentler than northern wales, lots of sandy beaches, coves and castles - if you don't wwant to go too far, drive to the gower peninsular, where it all starts - its beautiful!
llanberis is a beautifill little village on the shore of a huge lake.the train that goes up mount snowdonia leaves from llanberis and its well worth the trip,there is also an old slate mine that is now a working museum,and hydro mountain which is totally mind boggling,and to top it all off its not bad for a night out on the piss.
Abersoch - north wales - is a pretty little place. Lovely beaches and nice walks.
Also a few reataurants and pubs for you to while away a few hours in and warm up
swansea and Gower are fantastic places to go.Gower is the uk's first area of outstanding beauty.

Although it is North - Betws y Coed up the A5 is stunning and not too expensive place to stay - you will be amazed by the scenery when you awake the next day - and also not too far to explore the mountain scenery or coast.
North Pembrokeshire. St Davids area. Sandy beaches and coves, friendly people, amazing pool of arts and craft talent. Go to Solva. It's a beautiful harbour village with a nice pub called the harbour inn.
