How this list works
These are independent local places — the sort a holiday is remembered by — with categories from ice cream to farm shops. Distances are measured from Wales, and where a place has opening information or a website, it's on its page. Own one of these businesses? Every listing has a free claim option so you can keep your details up to date.

Frequently asked questions
Are these places checked?
Listings come from open map data maintained by locals, and owners can claim and update their own entries free. Opening hours change seasonally at the seaside — a quick check before a special trip is always wise.
