A unique and non-touristy activity to do in Wales is to explore the local food scene. A visit to the quaint town of Hay-on-Wye, known for its charming bookstores and local cheese markets, is especially recommended. Here you can sample traditional Welsh dishes such as Welsh Rarebit and Laverbread, visit farmers markets to buy locally produced food, or even take part in a cooking workshop to learn how to prepare a traditional Welsh dish.
