Getting around Wales

Within Wales you can get almost anywhere by using a combination of trains, buses, ferries and your own two wheels - all it takes is some careful planning. Generally speaking, places in the more densely populated south and north can be easily reached by bus and train but services are less frequent in Mid Wales.
