The country (Welsh: Cymru) is a large peninsula in south-west Britain and is one of the UK’s (The UK) main constituent countries, along with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 20.768 km² and in 2011 had a population of 3.063.456.

The four regions of Wales

North Wales is Welsh “to the bone”. It is a holiday region known to Englishmen, who believe in language and tradition, music and history. Here you will find magnificent castles, old fine railways still running and music festivals. The sometimes dramatic scenery offers an obvious adventure trip: waterfalls, mountains, the coast at Snowdonia with beaches with sand and rocks. It could also be a playground for those seeking adventure.
