Wales
is a land of contrasts, from secluded mountain valleys to crowded cities,
with a heritage spanning the gamut from rich poetry and song to the
grit of the coal mines. We've tried to create a guide to Wales that
takes in all those aspects, from the practicalities of getting there
to history and culture.
