Wales
This increasingly independent, small nation boasts three National Parks, five designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and more castles per square mile than any other part of the world.
Outdoor activities abound in the stunning settings of the Brecon Beacons, the Gower Peninsula, the Pembrokeshire Coast and the Snowdonia Mountains.
Wales' identity is intrinsically linked to its own language. Welsh is the oldest living language in Europe and is not only visible on bilingual signs throughout Wales, but also on radio, television and as a first language to most people in the North and West of the country.
