Wales

Wales is very rich in history and renowned for its exquisite landscape, including mountains, the coast, national parks and castles. Wales can be subdivided regionally into North, Mid and South Wales. North Wales has several holiday resorts located along the coast, but is made up of rural communities. Mid Wales on the other hand is made up of mountainous regions, moorlands, forests and the coastline facing the Irish Sea. South Wales is by far the most urbanised area of Wales.

The Welsh flag - Y Ddraig Goch meaning 'The Red Dragon' consists of a red dragon on a green and white field. It was officially recognised as the national flag of Wales in 1959.
