Wales Travel Guide

Wales, with it's green rolling moor-lands, glacier carved mountains,old mining towns and dramatic castles – is a fairytale area. But there’s so much more to Wales than its postcard-perfect scenery. Apart from the fantastic walking and cycling available, there’s also a wealth of adventures and sporting opportunities, horseriding and fishing. Add to this some fine festivals and Cardiff’s nightlife, and you have a wonderful destination awaiting you.

Cardiff, Wales’ capital, proudly welcomes visitors with its strong youth and student culture combined with a firm political identity and a touch of sports madness. Architectural treats include the grand City Hall and neighbouring National Museum and Gallery of Wales. But Cardiff’s main attraction remains the statuesque Cardiff Castle, situated in the heart of the city, surrounded by shopping districts and the splendid Bute Park. The Castle’s distinctive fairytale towers hide an elaborate decorative interior and a history spanning nearly 2000 years.
