This short overview of Wales highlights the magnificent mountains of Snowdonia, the stunning scenery along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and introduces us to the country’s history rich with the legends of Camelot, Iron Age Celts and Irish Chieftains. It is a hidden treasure with Roman forts and Norman castles, rolling countryside and beautiful gardens. Our travels take us around the capital, Cardiff, to the ruins of Tintern Abbey in the Wye Valley, and out into the country where narrow-gauge railways once carried slate from the quarries.
