Wales Country Guide

Wales is a charming collage of rugged greenery and pretty beaches; the landscape is speckled with ancient castles and quaint villages, and a proud national identity is laced with deep traditions and enchanting folklore.

Sheep-strewn mountains and leafy conservation areas make up a large portion of the country, with national parks Snowdonia, the Pembrokeshire Coast and the Brecon Beacons offering beautiful rambling trails and mountain biking routes.

The Welsh coastline is some of the most attractive in the UK. Cardigan Bay is a popular choice for sandy spots, while up and down the Welsh shore, deserted coves and secluded stretches are just around the corner for those willing to explore.

While strong tradition rings proud in the valleys and villages, the buzzing capital city Cardiff is a thoroughly modern affair. Visitors can enjoy electric nightlife, world-class cuisine and a thriving music scene, and then take a breather in one of the city's wide green spaces.
