VegetarianVisitor Guide to Wales 2015

Vegetarian friendly accommodation & eating out in Wales from Cardiff to Snowdonia

 North Wales including Llandudno and Colwyn Bay in ConwyBangor and Portmeirion in GwyneddPowys including Hay on Wye , West Wales  including Cardigan, PembrokeshireAberystwyth and  Carmarthen .

Vegetarian Visitor is the number one annually updated and award winning UK vegetarian guide to accommodation, B&B, guest houses, hotels, pubs cafes, vegetarian restaurants which take catering for vegetarians and vegans seriously.

Wales is a treasure trove of vegetarian heritage and simple but delicious vegetarian recipes. Potato cakes, Welsh Rarebit made with cheese and beer on toast, various dishes with leeks and lavabread, full of iodine and B vitamin rich seaweed. The Welsh still  hold the title for  eating most fruit and veg per head in the UK and although it's still below the modest recommendations of 5 a Day, the welsh should still to be congratulated.

The Welsh patron saint, St David, is alleged to have been a vegetarian, some say vegan,  but that jewel of information seems to have passed by many average pubs and cafes in Wales. However,  if you know where to look you can find some truly delightful guesthouses, B&B's Hotels and restaurants that are passionate about fulfilling their vegetarian guests' dreams and who will do their utmost to please you, leaving you desperate to facebook or twitter your friends and tell them how stupendous the place is.

If time is against you Wales is much closer than Scotland (unless you live in Scotland or what was once Scotland) but still full of Castles, caves, mountains, coves, waterfalls, history, wildlife, deserted beaches and lovely people waiting to be discovered by you.
