Wales

Wales is a country where history is not confined to museums but is woven into the landscape itself. Ancient fortresses rise above rivers and coastlines, narrow roads cross green valleys, and centuries-old traditions continue to shape everyday life. Although it shares the island of Great Britain with England and Scotland, Wales has preserved a distinct identity, reflected in its language, culture and remarkable historical heritage.

One of the country’s most striking features is the extraordinary number of castles. From the impressive fortresses built by King Edward I to smaller medieval strongholds hidden among hills and forests, Wales offers one of the richest collections of castles in Europe. Beyond these historic landmarks, visitors can explore dramatic coastlines, peaceful countryside, mountain railways and three spectacular national parks, each with its own character and scenery.

Our journey through Wales was not simply about visiting famous attractions. We enjoyed driving through quiet rural roads, discovering small market towns, walking along coastal paths and stopping whenever a beautiful landscape caught our attention. The slower pace of life and the strong connection between local communities and their surroundings made every part of the trip feel genuine and welcoming.
