Sign up for free online courses

The Wales Ambassador Scheme is a series of free online course for everyone to discover more about the special qualities of Wales. We're very proud to be a part of this scheme. 

You'll also learn about the National Trails in Wales which are long distance routes chosen by the UK Government as passing through some of the very best landscapes in the UK.  They are all signposted with an acorn logo. In Wales, these trails are Offa's Dyke Path National Trail and Glyndwrs Way, where you cross the border between England Wales many times and enjoy the open moorland, rolling farmland, woodland and forest of mid-Wales.  The Wales Coast Path can be identified following the distinctive dragon tail and shell logo along the entire 870 mile varied and diverse Welsh coastline.

What you will learn

The scheme is a great way to deepen your local knowledge and find what the Wales Coast Path and the National Trails offer for everyone.

You'll discover lots of interesting facts about Welsh culture, the unique places, the geology, the wildlife you can expect to see, and the history that makes these trails so unique and special here in Wales. We hope you'll be inspired to get out and enjoy these hiking trails for yourself. Some interesting facts include:

  • Wildlife hotspots along the Wales Coast Path and National Trails
  • Where is Britain's smallest city 
  • The village with the longest name in the UK
  • The rebellious historic figure who gives his name to one of the National Trail
  • The historic monument built to separate England and Wales
