Don't leave a carbon footprint

... make a real footprint instead. Whatever your level of fitness, Wales has a walking path for you. A walk around the picturesque Isle of Anglesey is just 125 miles. It’s okay if you’re feeling less athletic—just take the 18 mile Glomorgan Heritage coast path instead.
