Wales
Wales is a country in southwest Great Britain celebrated for its rugged coastline, mountainous national parks, distinctive Welsh language and Celtic culture. The capital of Cardiff is a charming coastal city with a nightlife scene and medieval castle with ornate Gothic Revival interiors. In the northwest, Snowdonia National Park has lakes, glacial landforms, hiking trails and a railway up to the peak of Snowdon. Wales is also known for its more than 600 castles, some built by Welsh princes and others by occupying forces, along with soggy beaches and seaside towns like Tenby.
