Wales

Wales is a country with distinctive traditions, heritage and culture. It is known as a land of song and a country steeped in myth and legend, which, when you see the awe-inspiring landscape, is no surprise.

With rolling hills, dramatic mountains, hundreds of castles, cascading waterfalls, rare flora and fauna and a coast path that runs along the entire coastline of the country, in Wales – beauty is everywhere. Wales is often called the castle capital of the world.

With over 600 sites remaining, Wales has more castles per square kilometre than any other country in Europe. Most can still be visited (and you can even stay in some of them) and are managed by Cadw (the Welsh Historic Environment Service), the National Trust, or private owners.

With so much to explore one visit is just never enough!
