Overview
For a small country Wales has a lot to offer. With dramatic
mountains, spectacular seashores, tumbling rivers, fresh green
valleys and Europe's largest concentrations of medieval fortresses,
it is a real gem that is often overlooked by tourists.
With a name that springs from the Anglo-Saxon term 'waleas'
meaning 'foreigner', it is hardly surprising that the Welsh have a
unique culture, language and heritage that distinguish them from
the English. Although best known for their unpronounceable place
names, roaring men's choirs and fierce Rugby teams - this is a
friendly and hospitable nation.
Wales is a land of nature and legend with stunning natural,
unspoiled scenery that is protected by a series of large National
Parks. For lovers of nature and the great outdoors Wales can be the
perfect destination.
