Wales

Ever wondered about Wales? What to see and do, why go to Wales?  Because Wales is distinct from its neighbors in location, geography, language, culture, and it is loaded with activities for everyone. Not sure what to see and do in Wales we have the right option to fit your interest.

Wales is another beguiling part of the British Isles.  Even its comparative anonymity serves it well.  Reducing ancient cultures to misty Celtic pastiche, Wales remains brittle and brutal enough to be real, and diverse enough to remain endlessly interesting. Within its small mass of land, Wales boasts some stunning physical attributes.  Its mountains, ranges, ragged coastline, lush valleys and old-fashioned market towns all invite long and repeated visits.  The culture too, is compelling, whether in its Welsh or English language manifestation, its Celtic or its industrial traditions, its ancient cornerstones of belief or its contemporary chutzpah.  Recent years have seen a huge upsurge in Welsh self-confidence, a commodity no longer so dependent upon comparison with its big and powerful neighbor of England.  No doubt about it, Wales is different from Scotland, England and Ireland and that is why one should plan carefully to get the most out of their special adventure.

Wales has 641 Castles, Conway Castle, pictured above, is a wonderful representation.  These castles are impressive and exactly what one pictures in their mind when they think castle.   Should you desire, you can walk the full coastline of Wales. With all those National Parks and your desire for outdoor activities you have a plethora of options.  Fishing, walking, cycling, mountain biking, golf, coast-steering, white water rafting, canyoning, caving, paragliding, zip-lining, and water sports such as wake-boarding, surfing, wind surfing, and sailing.

Wales is a wonderful place for families with National Parks to visit, free museums and galleries, as well as a plethora of outdoor activities available.  Wales is well known as home of the Arthurian legend, King Arthur, Guinevere, and his knights of the round table.  Wales is where they have filmed many movies and BBC TV series about King Arthur and you can visit those areas as well.
