The main natural hazard to be aware of is coastal erosion; always heed warning signs and stay clear of unstable cliff edges.

Many smaller towns and villages host regular community events that can provide opportunities to meet people.

    Traditional Welsh dishes include Cawl (a hearty lamb stew), Welsh rarebit (a cheese sauce on toast), and Laverbread (a seaweed delicacy).
