Cities & Regions: Cardiff

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.
