Wales
Land of castles, mountains, and ancient Celtic heritage
🎤Hey there, I'm Amy!
Helô! It's Amy! Wales is so beautiful - Snowdonia mountains are stunning, castles are everywhere, Cardiff is vibrant, and the Welsh spirit is strong. The people are so welcoming and the culture is unique!
Discover Wales
Wales has over 600 castles, stone fortresses on hillsides. Mount Snowdon, in Snowdonia, is the highest peak in Wales, and on a clear day the view can reach Ireland. Cardiff, the capital, mixes an old castle with museums and shops. The Pembrokeshire coast has sandy beaches and tidal caves.
Welsh is one of Europe's oldest languages still spoken, and many people use both Welsh and English. Wales is part of the United Kingdom and keeps a Celtic heritage. Choirs and singing are a well known part of life. Ancient stone circles still stand in the landscape.
