Mountain-biking in the Neath Valley, gorge-scrambling in Snowdonia, or clay shooting, quad-biking or high ropes just about anywhere. Wales offers Big-Country stag opportunities with big nights in some of Britain’s most exciting venues. As dusk drops into the valleys, stags can stagger around Cardiff, Swansea or Aberystwyth.

Cardiff’s best bites come at the Wagamama Japanese, with meals cooked at the table, and Jamie Oliver’s Italian. Throw shapes in Tiger Tiger or The Vaults. As the lights come on, Swansea buzzes with life, including pubs, clubs, café bars, bistros and restaurants of all hues. Aberystwyth offers cosy gastropubs and bayside bars.
