A new meditation podcast series, 'Chill Cymru', has been launched by Visit Wales to offer listeners a multi-sensory escape to some of the country's most scenic locations. The series debuted on St Dwynwen's Day, Wales's national day of love, and is narrated by BBC Radio 1's Sian Eleri from Caernarfon.
The six guided meditations feature immersive natural soundscapes and storytelling, transporting listeners to places such as Three Cliffs Bay, Cefnperfedd Uchaf lavender fields, Pen y Pass, Wern-y-Cwm Farm's wildflower meadows, Cardiff Bay, and Cwmcarn Forest. Each journey aims to encourage deep listening and connection to the rhythm of Wales.
Chill Cymru is part of the wider 'Hwyl' campaign, which promotes the emotional and sensory experiences visitors can have in Wales. 'Hwyl', a Welsh term denoting a deep state of joy and immersion, is similar to the Danish concept of 'hygge' but with its own distinct cultural significance.
Economy Secretary Rebecca Evans stated that 2025 will celebrate the distinctive Welsh experiences that can only be found in the country, inviting tourists to 'feel, taste and truly experience' what Wales has to offer.
