Living in Wales
Living in Wales
The cost of living in Wales is low but of a high standard and considerably lower than the UK average.
It’s also an exciting time for Welsh education with the new Welsh curriculum to be used throughout the country by 2022. The new curriculum is designed to help young people to thrive in a future where digital skills, adaptability and creativity will be as crucial as knowledge.
26% of Wales is designated as a national park or area of outstanding natural beauty and there are great transport links to all major cities, so if you ever did want to leave the Idyllic beauty, you’re well connected.
Things to do
The All Wales Coastal Path means it's the only country in the world with a national walking trail that follows its entire coastline, all 870 miles of it. When you’re done exploring that, there are approximately 600 castles still to be found, making it the castle capital of Europe. Wales also boasts six World Heritage sites and more than 150 stunning beaches.
You'll need to leave some time to explore Snowdonia National Park, visit the brilliant theatres in Llandudno, Mold and Bangor, cheer on a Welsh rugby game in Cardiff or even visit the annual, world-famous literature festival in Hay.
