Wales

From our coastlines and castles, our landscapes, literature and the oldest spoken language in Europe, Wales has an ancient and mythical heritage. It’s the land of rolling hillsides; historic ruins; and an industrial heritage that once saw Welsh slate and coal being exported across the world.
