Cambria is a name for Wales, being the Latinised form of the Welsh name for the country, Cymru. The term was not in use during the Roman period or the early medieval period. After the Anglo-Saxon settlement of much of Britain, a territorial distinction developed between the new Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and the remaining Celtic British kingdoms. Latin being the primary language of scholarship in Western Christendom, medieval writers commonly used either the older term Britannia, as the territory still inhabited by Britons, or Wallia, a term derived from Old English, to refer to Wales. The term Cambria is first attested in Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century as an alternative to both of these, since Britannia was now ambiguous and Wallia a foreign import, but remained rare until late in the Middle Ages.

As you enter Cambria, you will be greeted by lush green forests, scenic ocean views, and quaint buildings that date back to the 1800s. The village is located just off the Pacific Coast Highway, making it easily accessible for road trippers.

One of the highlights of Cambria is its rugged coastline that stretches for miles and offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. You can take a leisurely stroll along the Moonstone Beach Boardwalk and admire the mesmerizing scenery. If you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the coastline from a different perspective.
