The Peacefulness

North Wales is still not very touristy so it’s very pleasant to travel to and visit the country at your own pace without crowds of tourists. A heaven of serenity!

The Atmosphere

Wales is a typical area where people speak English and Welsh. Welsh is still taught at school and it’s the first Celtic language spoken in the world after Irish. All the road signs are in English and Welsh. Welsh people are very proud of their nationality and like to hang up the country’s flag everywhere (a red dragon on a white and green background).

The Wild

Wales is aimed at nature and large spaces enthusiasts so if you only like big cities, let’s be honest this is not for you! Wales should not envy his neighbours from Ireland and Scotland: Wales host similar wild landscapes, mountains, lakes, hiking paths, picturesque villages… There are three national parks in Wales: Brecons Beacons and Pembrokeshire in the south. In North Wales you’ll find the magnificent Snowdonia national park where stands the highest summit in Wales, Mount Snowdon (1085 m); you can reach the top either on foot or by train.
