We invite you to travel to Wales - the country of mountains, desert territories, castles and valleys. Walking in Wales will provide an unforgettable experience of ancient churches, monasteries, male choral traditions and local sightseeing.
A quarter of the United Kingdom
Wales is one of the four main divisions of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The name, traditions and cultural characteristics of Wales are closely associated with Celtic roots, because it was the Celtic kingdoms that once made up this conglomerate.
Its main attraction is the richest nature, a source of inspiration for writers and poets, artists and thinkers. No wonder a large part of Wales is a national park with rocky peaks, sandy coves, bays and, of course, many medieval castles. Indeed, in terms of the number of old and impregnable castles, nothing can compare with this land.
How to get there?
You can get here by different types of transport:
- by air, including through the largest London Heathrow;
- ferry service can be reached from France and Belgium;
- by rail.
What to visit?
The capital of Wales, Cardiff, which became such in 1955, is a must-see. This delightful city, combining modernity with the traditions of antiquity, Victorian architecture with the latest fashion design trends, should be admired slowly, walking along the old streets.
The National Museum of Wales contains unique paintings, including Van Gogh, Renoir, Botticelli and other world-famous masters. Do not pass by Cardiff Castle, it is the oldest of all the buildings of ancient Wales, King Arthur's Labyrinth, historic shale mines, etc. And, of course, do not forget the routes for long and short hikes, which, by the way, are offered here on bicycles.
Be sure to check out the famous castles in Wales, with the most popular being Caernarvon and Conwy.
Active holidays with walks in Wales
Wales is a place of traditional active recreation not only for locals, but also for numerous visitors. Here, not only cycling through the villages and cities is popular, but also other types of boring recreation at the services of tourists. Including you can do:
- fishing (there are many ponds and lakes);
- surfing, for which West Wales has excellent conditions;
- golf - there are more than a hundred courses;
- ascents with rafting on a mountain river, called coastiring.
And that's just a fraction of what the ancient, mysterious and beautiful Wales has to offer.
