is n wales a very rainy place?

[cheeryface]

i had been considering staying in a cottage. near snowdonia maybe, or perhaps conwy at Easter. is it a bad idea?

Wales is lovely but extremely wet.

You could be lucky though....

Yes. Beautiful but v wet is how I would sum up all of Wales. Just seems to rain as soon as you go over offa's duke in my experience.

yes, it's pretty rainy.

having said that, a cottage in snowdonia at Easter sounds fantastic! especially if you like walking, climbing, etc.

oh god yes

it's pot luck.

I spent one easter in snowdonia and it was as hot and dry as summer. ANother easter there was very cold but dry.

Where do you live though? Jersey? Sort of depends on your expectations, doesn't it.

Yes but also a very beautiful place!

Llynn Peninsula not rainy at all, IMHO.

I find its much like the rest of the UK, really beautiful when its sunny and dry, a bit grim when its cold, damp and drizzly.

All the luck of the draw really, you need a crystal ball to predict it.

Love North WAles
Holidayed lots as a child there
Unfortunately it does seem to rain a lot

Yes, but it is so beautiful I would go anyway.

We went and in July and it rained an awful lot but there was so much to do and scenery was spectacular.

I really want to live there

you go over that bridge and it starts raining

i think you ought to look at the rainfall figures online. brecon, for example is megga high (though we had heatwave when we went) but pembrokeshire isn't that high - so varies quite a lot and i guess depends on teh mountains etc. think pembrokeshire is similar to south coast

i have seen a lovely cottage in
Llanrhaedr ym Mochnant oswestrey but thinking it may be a bit naff in the rain with 2 kids though

Mid Wales is very wet - especially during the autumn/winter months IME. Elsewhere in Wales IMO isn't much different to other areas of the UK.

Never rained when we been to Pembrokeshire. Rained every day solid in Snowdonia in August.

Sadly, I have the same experience of Snowdonia, last August, so wet we came home half way through the week, to warm and hot weather at home. Very beautiful though
