Wales is a charming collage of rugged greenery and pretty beaches. The landscape is speckled with ancient castles and quaint villages, and a proud national identity is laced with deep traditions and enchanting folklore. Sheep-strewn mountains and leafy conservation areas make up a large portion of the country, with national parks Snowdonia, the Pembrokeshire Coast and the Brecon Beacons offering beautiful rambling trails and mountain biking routes.
