Despite its size, Wales doesn't boast a huge amount of chocolatiers and chocolate makers. Even so, they are spread around South Wales, West Wales, North Wales, and Mid Wales fairly liberally, so you should be too far away from your nearest chocolate shop or maker.
You'll find bean-to-bar makers in Cardiff and Powys, the big chains in Cardiff, Bridgend, Swansea, and Llandudno, and smaller independent makers dotted around the Welsh landscape. Some specialise in crafting Welsh chocolate items such as chocolate dragons and dragon eggs.

I've excluded supermarkets and franchise stores from this list. I urge you to support your local chocolate makers as many of them are crafting superb quality chocolate treats and gifts. I've listed bean to bar chocolate makers seperately. If you are a real chocolate fan, try a chocolate bar from your local craft chocolate maker and you'll be blown away by how different it tastes compared to mass-produced chocolate. I've also listed national chocolate chains seperately, and have defined a chain as a business that has at least two stores.
Disclaimer: Distances in this calculator are approximate and are listed as the crow flies (you know, the fastest way to get to chocolate). Online shops are normally open to place orders 24/7, subject to availability. For physical shops, check store opening hours before travelling to avoid disappointment.
