Wales is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. Located on the island of Great Britain, it is bordered by the Irish Sea to the north and west, England to the east, the Bristol Channel to the south, and the Celtic Sea to the south-west. As of 2021, it had a population of 3.1 million. It has a total area of 21,218 square kilometres (8,192 sq mi) and over 2,700 kilometres (1,680 mi) of coastline. It is largely mountainous with its higher peaks in the north and central areas, including Snowdon, its highest summit. The country lies within the north temperate zone and has a changeable, maritime climate. Its capital and largest city is Cardiff.

One of the things that makes Wales so unique is its natural beauty. From the rugged mountains of Snowdonia National Park to the stunning beaches of the Gower Peninsula, there is no shortage of breathtaking landscapes to explore. You can hike through rolling hills, explore hidden waterfalls, and take in panoramic views from the top of towering peaks. Wales is also home to three national parks, each with its own unique character.

In addition to its natural beauty, Wales is also steeped in history. From the imposing castles of Caernarfon and Conwy to the ancient standing stones of Pentre Ifan, there are countless cultural landmarks to discover. You can learn about the country's Celtic heritage at the National Museum Cardiff, or explore the rich industrial history of the Welsh valleys at the Big Pit National Coal Museum.
