Wales is NOT England . The two countries look, sound and feel different. The population is largely rural with a culture rooted deeply in folklore and legend.
The survival of our distinct and ancient language is perhaps our most prominent trademark.

“Welsh is the oldest living European language”

The Welsh language, the oldest living European language, is strong in many parts of Wales and is often the predominant language in the West and North.
A quarter of the population speaks it and there are TV and radio stations that solely broadcast in Welsh. WELSH IS NOT OUR HERITAGE, IT IS OUR EVERYDAY LANGUAGE!!

Wales' comparative anonymity (compared with its Celtic cousins - Ireland and Scotland) has ensured that much of the landscape and culture is intact. This will be instanly evident to you. Each night will be spent at amazing unspoilt locations allowing you to get close to nature and to get a true feeling for the land.

Wales can boast some of the finest scenery in Europe . It has vast mountain ranges, stunning coastlines, lush valleys and has more castles per km2 than
any other country in the world. Much of Wales remains undamaged by tourism and development and this will be instantly evident to you.

“Undamaged and Unspoilt by Tourism”

Wales ' industrial heritage is unsurpassed in the UK . The South Wales coalfields during the 19th and 20th centuries produced vast amounts of coal driving the industrial revolution. In North Wales huge slate mines produced slate that roofed houses of the world, and at its peak exported more slate than the rest of the countries in the world combined. The closure of these mines in recent years has affected these regions greatly.
