It sits in the southwest of Great Britain also known as the United kingdom and has a population of just over 3 million. The small country is scattered with wonderful castles that provide the perfect opportunity for visitors to get lost.

Seaside towns such as Tenby and Pembrokeshire provide the perfect scenery for tranquil days out with the family or to practice your photography.

If you’re looking for excitement it may be worth heading to the capital city of Cardiff where there’s plenty to eat, drink and do at all hours of the day. Expand your knowledge by visiting Cardiff Museum or explore your taste buds with the variety of foods found in the range of restaurants. If you are looking for a city holiday but don’t want the chaos of a capital city then maybe the smaller cities of Swansea, St David’s or Bangor would be preferred, all would provide exciting breaks with welsh charm. If a city isn’t the type of thing you’re hoping for then there’s ample of charismatic seaside towns to holiday at, many of which even offer caravan holidays for fun trips with the family.

Wales makes for a wonderful country to visit and explore. While sharing similarities with other British countries, the country also has much to offer that cannot be found anywhere else. The culture is one to be enjoyed and took advantage of when visiting. It would be a shame not to get lost in the extensive history of the country and learn as much as possible about the small countrys role in the famed British empire. With a much smaller population than England it can offer a relaxing place to holiday and get away from many of the stresses of normal life.
