About Visit South East Wales
Our website is the collaborative effort of a dedicated team of South East Wales locals, committed to curating the best experiences, accommodations, dining, and events across the region for your exploration and enjoyment.
Welcome to Visit South East Wales, a hub crafted by South East Wales locals, a diverse team representing the vibrant tapestry of our ten regions. We're not a government entity or a corporate giant - we're the embodiment of Wales itself: a community of individuals living, working, and savouring the very attractions, events, and experiences we feature on this platform. With each region represented by one of us, our shared passion is to bring you an authentic, insider's view of Wales's gems, ensuring you uncover the essence of our beloved region through our collective local expertise.
Our platform thrives on the dedication of volunteers, each representing their respective regions. Their sole qualification? A deep-seated passion for their area and a commitment to sharing its wonders. These volunteers, the heartbeat of our platform, live and breathe the essence of their regions, offering authentic insights and insider knowledge that capture the spirit of Wales's diverse neighbourhoods. Their voluntary contributions power our commitment to showcasing the very best of our region, ensuring you experience Wales through the eyes of those who call it home.
Our approach stands apart from council-funded websites, as we are driven by a team deeply rooted in the heart of each Wales region. Unlike distant entities, our volunteers are not mere administrators; they are passionate residents intimately connected to their locales. This local intimacy allows us to offer a perspective teeming with genuine insights, personal experiences, and authentic recommendations. We pride ourselves on being more than just a source of information – we're a community-driven platform, ensuring you receive guidance from those who not only know the area but live and breathe its essence daily. This personal touch transforms your exploration of Wales into an immersive and truly local adventure, far beyond what a detached council-run site can provide.
