WALES, a country with several distinct
regions, each with its own characteristic atmosphere.
Our
North Wales area
covers
Anglesey, as well as the counties of Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy, and Gwynedd which also
include the Snowdonia National Park.
The
Mid-Wales area covers
Ceredigion and Powys which includes the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Adjoining is
Carmarthenshire with
Swansea
and the
Gower Peninsula, long time a favourite
holiday destination.
Then there is
South Wales, an
area with a rich industrial heritage, particularly in the valleys, but where
there are now only small remnants of the traditional industries of steel and
coal production for which the area became famous. Coking coal from here was so sought
after that it was shipped all over the world. One destination was the small town of Jerome, high on a
hillside in Arizona, to which it was carried first by sailing ship across the Atlantic, round Cape Horn, up
the west coast of the USA and finally on mule trains over mountains to be used in this centre of copper
production.
Cardiff, capital city of Wales, is also home to the
Millennium Stadium which hosts major rugby and soccer tournaments plus some
fantastic music concerts.

Pembrokeshire is known as the "little bit of
England beyond Wales" where Welsh is rarely spoken and is certainly not the native
language of the majority of residents. The county is famous for magnificent sandy beaches, dramatic coastline, islands and birdlife
(hence the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park). Here you can enjoy some of Britain's cleanest
beaches; learn diving, sailing or windsurfing in safe sheltered waters; walk the 168 miles
of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path along one of the nation's most beautiful
cliff tops. There
are quiet sandy havens and traditional sea-side resorts. |

Boats will take you to islandsinhabited by puffins, seals and even monks!
The island of Skomer is a nature
reserve managed by the Dyfed Wildlife Trust, which can
be visited on the Dale Princess from Martins
Haven.
The waters around the island were
designated as the UK's first Marine Nature Reserve and
island has the largest seabird colony in southern
Britain with large numbers of Puffins, Guillemots,
Razorbills and Kittiwakes in addition to 40% of the
world's population of Manx Shearwaters - about 160,000
pairs. |
No one can fail to be impressed by the
cathedral at St. David's and the Milford Haven oil refineries, unobtrusive by day are an
impressive sight at night lit up like visiting spaceships.
