    An Englishman's comment. I'm very fond of Wales. Could I warn you that the narrator has no idea of the Welsh language at all, so she butchers many of the place names? One of the most interesting things to do in Wales is to try to find out about the Welsh language - utterly different from English - and still spoken as a native tongue by at least half a million people.
    A little bit of a warning. In West Wales in particular, it rains! That is why the country is so green. Do hike on the Welsh mountains, but respect them. You must have the proper clothing; layering - so you can put on an extra layer if the weather turns nasty - is essential. Mountain Rescue - made up of volunteers - are highly respected, and get very fed up of tourists thinking they can just take a little stroll in ordinary clothing. The dangers are exposure and hypothermia.

      Wales Scotland & Ireland would all still be speaking their native languages if it wasn’t for the English who forced their language & customs onto each of the Celtic nations. In Scotland it was even worse Scot’s weren’t even allowed to dress in the own clothes instead they outlawed the wearing of traditional highland clothes & the British army adopted wearing highland clothes.

    Be aware that Wales has it's own language and culture (hence the place names ). It really is stunning, but I don't think the video does it justice. Without thinking I could give you another 20 places that might equal most of those listed here.
    But if you like greenery , mountains and wildness... Just look at a map of Scotland... Look at all the empty spaces, lochs, mountains and rivers. It's vast, and stunning , with a very low population density.

      To say "Ll" in Welsh, try saying s then put your tongue behind your top teeth.

    If you go onto a translation website you well get the proper pronunciations of Welsh towns. Llangollen is not pronounced in the way the robot narrator on the video pronounced it. Nor is Caernarfon pronounced in the way it was pronounced. You might enjoy a video on the Welsh language. In Wales all the road signs are written in both Welsh and English and it is interesting to see how the two languages compare. They are very different.
    Caldy Island's monastery is run by Trapists monks, the ones who don't speak unless it's essential. You can get there easily from Tenby.

    You should check out the llyn peninsula in North Wales, Abersoch, Sarn, Llanbedrog, Porth Ceiriad, Porth Neigwl, Aberdaron, Porthor beach, and lots more, an absolutely stunning area with views to die for. It should be at the top of the list for anyone Visiting Cymru (Wales).

    If ever you come and want more than London. I suggest to get yourself set up Central. I live near Liverpool. From here you can visit North Wales and visit Snowden, Chester with its Roman stonework. Angelsey and all its Beautifull cliffs. From Liverpool you can visit Manchester, York, The Lakes, Witby and see all the countryside on its way. All these places can be visited within a day. A long day, But is possible. The Trains will take you nearly anywhere here. Could hire yourself a small car if needed.

    If you visit, bring an umbrella. It's soggy around here. Also be aware of our national blood sport, which is to get non-Welsh people pronouncing our place names. As an example I give you Llwchwr.

    As a SC girl living in the UK, do NOT pass up Whitby! It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been since moving here 4 years ago! Also, Bamburgh Castle! And if you go to the Southwest…. Do not miss Kynance Cove !

    I have visited Wales many times and yes it is beautiful but so is a lot of the UK. The North East, Durham and Northumberland are the least recognised and possibly the least touristed areas. They are missing out Weardale and Teesdale are outstanding. The Northumberland coast is stunning. Is is cooler than the south by a few degrees. But that can be a bonus
