Wales

Located in the southwest of the United Kingdom, Wales is a compelling travel destination known for its rugged coastline, mountainous national parks, and distinctive Welsh culture, encompassing its unique Celtic language and vibrant traditions. Wales's picturesque landscape includes the Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire Coast and Snowdonia, where the highest peak in the UK south of the Scottish Highlands, Mt. Snowdon, is found. It is well-known for its historical structures, especially its 600 castles, including Conwy Castle, Caernarfon Castle, and the cosmopolitan capital, Cardiff, home to stunning Cardiff Castle. The country also boasts several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
