With 750 miles of coastline, beautiful glens and valleys, delicious food and drink, 641 castles, and of course, the Welsh language - one of the oldest in the world, Wales has always had a magical and ancient feel about it.
Containing Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire National Parks, Wales has some of the most extraordinary mountains, forest walks and waterfalls in Great Britain. The most traffic you are likely to encounter in these National Parks are sheep, walkers, and mountain ponies.
For the adventurous there are plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors; abseiling and climbing, caving, diving, mountain biking, kite surfing, canoeing, rafting and horse riding to name a few. Wales is home to hundreds of festivals throughout the year with intriguing names such as The Greenman, Bog Snorkling, Oysters, Stone Skimming and Tapestry Goes West.
