COUNTRY INFORMATION - WALES

Location of Wales
Wales is located to the west of England and is bordered on its west
side by the Irish sea and to its east by England. Wales is a country
of great geographical variation with many long stretches of attractive
and often rugged coastline. South Wales is mainly known for its industrial
heritage, but the western part of the coast between Carmarthen Bay
and St David’s is similar to that of the more pastoral west
country of England, and backed by some equally beautiful countryside.
Airports

Language
The official languages are English and Welsh. Welsh is taught in all
schools, and at least a fifth of the population speaks it.
Places To Go
The night life of Wales in general is similar to that of an English
town of comparable size, with bars, restaurants and cinemas being
common in the cities and large towns.
Wales is a historic land of castles and mountains, sweeping beaches and strong national identity dating back to pre-Norman times. There is an industrial heritage, primarily in the Valleys of the south. It is also famous for its narrow-gauge railways.
Populous South Wales incorporates the capital Cardiff, the cities of Swansea and Newport, Carmarthen Bay and two national parks, Pembrokeshire Coast and Brecon Beacons. The Cambrian Mountains and the attractive coastal resorts of Cardigan Bay are highlights of mid-Wales, while the North has popular seaside resorts like Llandudno and Rhyl, the island of Anglesey and the scenic delights of Snowdonia National Park.
Wales boasts a village called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 letters), which in English means "Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of Saint Tysilio near the red cave." The locals call it Llanfairpwll.
