Driving less is one of the most popular New Years Resolutions, as well as including more exercise in our lifestyles. If this sounds like you, why not plan a day out in nature with fflecsi in 2026?

Connecting communities is at the heart of our fflecsi service and offers a chance to experience the Welsh landscape without setting foot in your car. From cold-water swimming in Pembrokeshire to dog-walking destinations in Denbighshire, read on to see where you can explore with fflecsi.

Blue Lagoon – near Abereiddy Beach, Pembrokeshire

Just a few minutes' walk from Abereiddy Beach is the Blue Lagoon, surrounded by turquoise waters and rugged scenery. This is the perfect spot for sparkling views and if you’re brave enough, a cold-water dip (weather and wetsuit permitting). Popular with swimmers in the summer, visit on a cooler day for a chance to have the lagoon to yourself.

Fairy Glen Gorge, Betws-y-Coed

Hidden within Eryri National Park is Fairy Glen Gorge. Steeped in mythology, this beauty spot has been the subject of poetry and folklore over the years. Enjoy the luscious greenery, scenic river walks, and spot some sheep grazing. If you do decide to visit Fairy Glen Gorge, make sure to bring cash for the honesty box.

Whitesands Bay, St David’s

Voted as the second-best beach in Wales to visit in winter, head to Whitesands Bay for a crisp beach walk. Known for its white sands and peninsula views, enjoy miles of coastline that will brush away any Christmas cobwebs. Cold-water swimming is a popular activity for Whitesands Bay – will you be tempted?

North Wales Pilgrim’s Way, Holywell

Stretching across 135 miles, discover medieval history and vast scenery along the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Situated in Holywell is the oldest and most continually visited pilgrim site in Britain – St Winifred’s Chapel and Well. From a day’s walk to the full pilgrimage, there’s an abundance of history, coastline and scenery to explore.

Prestatyn Nature Reserve

For a relaxing afternoon filled with local wildlife, visit Prestatyn Nature Reserve. Great for dog walks (which you can bring on-board fflecsi), the reserve is popular for its peaceful woodland and scenery. From the bird pond to badger spotting, Prestatyn Nature Reserve is brimming with wildlife to enjoy.

Denbigh Town Walls

Want to get a few steps in but also learn about Welsh history? Spend the day in Denbigh and walk along the Denbigh Town Walls. Rich in history, collect the key from the library and step back in time to the Middle Ages. Enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains and countryside as you explore.
