South Wales & The Valleys are relatively easy to travel to from Europe, England and Ireland by air, sea or road.
To fly to the Welsh valleys, Cardiff International Airport has regular charter and scheduled flights to Europe, Ireland and the rest of the UK; the airport at Swansea has short haul flights to Ireland. Travellers from long haul destinations arriving at London, Glasgow or Belfast international airports now have frequent connecting flights to Cardiff.
Cardiff Heliport, two miles south-east of Cardiff centre, is ideal for VIP visitors to Cardiff international arena, for concerts and the millenium stadium for football, rugby and more events.
The port at Swansea has ferries to Ireland.
The M4 motorway to Cardiff travels into England via the original M48 Severn Toll Bridge or the new M49 second Severn crossing.
Driving from Chepstow in Monmouth to the tip of the Gower peninsula along the coast past Cardiff and Swansea takes in the resorts of Aberavon, Barry, Port Eynon, Porthcawl and Oxwich.
Inland, the Brecon Beacons and the narrow-gauge Brecon Mountain Railway are easy to drive to via the A470 from Merthyr Tydfil and A40 Abergavenny.
Cardiff Central railway station is part of the Intercity network, with express trains to London Paddington plus branch lines to Barry and Merthyr Tydfil. The mainline continues west from Cardiff to Swansea and up the Camarthan coast national park.
