Travel Inspiration: Wales. Great Britain’s Fiercely Proud Celtic Nation.
Not many countries choose a dragon as their nation animal. Wales does. The Welsh are in a class by themselves. They have, for generations, been staunch supporters of their ancient native language, protectors of their distinct culture and traditions, and proclaimers of their identity as a nation separate from England. It’s time you get to know the Welsh and their delightful country.
Wales offers a captivating array of sights, each brimming with history, natural beauty, and charm. Start with Snowdonia National Park, where Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, invites adventurers to ascend its summit or ride the scenic mountain railway. Venture to Conwy Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where imposing stone walls and towers guard the town below. On the coast, discover Pembrokeshire, home to the iconic Stack Rocks and Barafundle Bay, where cliffs meet pristine sands.
The capital, Cardiff, boasts the striking Cardiff Castle and the dynamic Cardiff Bay waterfront. History enthusiasts will adore St. David’s Cathedral, a tranquil gem in Britain’s smallest city, while the Llangollen Canal with its aqueducts offers a picturesque journey by narrowboat.
From the rolling Brecon Beacons to the fairy-tale village of Portmeirion, every destination in Wales tells a tale of timeless beauty and wonder.
