Mesur o lwyddiant gwirioneddol yw sut yr ydych yn byw eich bywyd. Mae Cymru yn wlad sy’n eich helpu i gael y cydbwysedd hwnnw yn iawn. Mae’r traeth hwn 30km o ganol Caerdydd.

Real success is measured by how you live your life. Wales is a country that helps you get the work life balance right. This beach is 30km from the centre of Cardiff, Wales’ capital city.

Llwybr yr Arfordir, sy’n 1,400km o hyd, yw’r llwybr cyntaf yn y byd sy’n mynd ar hyd arfordir cyfan unrhyw wlad. Mae llawer i’w weld, mae’n amser cychwyn arni.

Our 1,400km Wales Coast Path is the first route in the world that covers a country’s entire coastline. There’s a lot to explore – better get moving.
