Welcome to
Wales
The phrase good things come in small packages may be a clich, but in the case of Wales its undeniably true.
Compact but geologically diverse, Wales offers myriad opportunities for escaping into nature. It may not be wild in the classic sense humans have been shaping this land for millennia but there are plenty of lonely corners to explore, lurking behind mountains, within river valleys and along surf-battered cliffs. An extensive network of paths makes Wales a hikers paradise and thousands of people duck across the border from England each year for that reason alone. Things are even more untamed on the islands scattered just off the coast, some of which are important wildlife sanctuaries.
Castles are an inescapable part of the Welsh landscape. Theyre absolutely everywhere. You could visit a different one every day for a year and still not see them all. Some watch over mountain passes, while others keep an eye on the city traffic whizzing by; some lie in enigmatic ruins, while others still have families living in them. Theres also an altogether more inscrutable and far older set of stones to discover the stone circles, dolmens and standing stones erected long before castles were ever dreamt up, before even histories were written.
Just because its not exactly tropical doesnt detract from Wales being a superb beach-holiday destination and the melanoma risk is considerably lower here! The beauty of the British coast is cruelly underrated, and Wales has some of the very best bits. When the sun is shining the beaches fill up with kids building sandcastles and splashing about in the shallows. And when its not? How about a bracing walk instead.
Beyond the scenery and the castles, its interactions with Welsh people that will remain in your memory the longest. Perhaps youll recall the moment when you were sitting in a Caernarfon cafe, listening to the banter in the ancient British tongue dancing around you. Or that time when you were in the pub, screaming along to the rugby with a red-shirted mob. They talk a lot in Wales about hiraeth . A typically Welsh word, it refers to a sense of longing for the green, green grass of home. Even if youre not from Wales, a feeling of hiraeth may well hit you when you leave, only to be sated when you return.
