WalesOften overlooked in favor of England and Scotland, Wales is a small nation on a peninsula of Great Britain and is considered one of the four main constituent parts of the United Kingdom.
There is a fierce, non-conformist beauty to Wales, from its defiantly old language still prevalently spoken in many cities and towns to its wild landscapes of dramatic mountains and moorlands. Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is also considered the country’s urban hub and center of nightlife. Here you’ll find a pleasant mixture of the old and new: Victorian-era castles in the shadow Wales’ international sporting venue, the Millennium Stadium. In addition to a healthy obsession with rugby, Cardiff is also host to many art centers, museums, and even a pop arena. Brecon Beacons National Park is extremely popular, comprising of four mountain ranges, several kinds of terrain, mining valleys, and several privately-owned slopes where hordes of sheep graze. Most visitors take the well-known Offa’s Dyke Path, which runs along Wales’ eastern border to the beautiful Black Mountains and is littered with many charming border towns such as Hay on Wye. For a glimpse of the countryside, visit the seaside resort of Llandudno in northwestern Wales, rife with a Victorian air and wedged between the Snowdonia Mountains in the south, two sandy beaches, and Great Orme, a majestic limestone headland accessible by tram. Snowdonia National Park, the second largest park in Great Britain, is 840 square miles of mountains, including Snowdon, the highest peak in Britain south of the Highlands, moors, woodlands, lakes, waterfalls, Roman forts, Stone and Bronze Age burial chambers, Norman castles, and steam railways. It’s an excellent place for hiking and walking. More websites about travelling to WalesLink to this page! Copy the source below and paste it into your page source. It's that easy!
