Am going to England
Am going to England (been there several times) on a work trip and am planning on a couple of extra days in Wales (never been) to see countryside and coast. Really enjoy mountains/hikes, seashore, ancient (by American standards) buildings/architecture, pubs, local music, and off-the-beaten-path places and experiences. Suggeations on where to go? What to see? A good location/area to stay? Your thoughts, experiences, and stories are most appreciated!

P.S. did a search, thought I'd find a thread here on Wales, if there is, I missed it....
Are you coming to the UK or just England?
I guess it depends how much time you have and how far you want to drive.
I'd suggest doing a walk up Cadair Idris which is a Weslh mountain and a really good days walk, staying in or around Dolgellau and then the next day driving a little North and visiting Portmeirion (where the cult TV series the Prisoner was filmed) which is estuary coastal with sands and if you have time you can walk up and take the train down Snodownia or visa versa.
You'll need proper outdoors kit/boots for any weather. It rains lot in Wales, second only to the Lake district for wetness IMO.
True, Wales has one of the highest annual rainfalls in Britain.DO NOT forget the waterproofs!
I lived near Beddgelert in 2005 and travelled all over Snowdonia from there- Cadair is a fantastic mountain, I'd also recommend the Rhinogs and the Moelwyns a little further north. And DO NOT forget the waterproofs!
