Wales
is the land of legend, song, fire-breathing
dragons, powerful wizards, sheep, more
sheep, and undisputed natural beauty.
You'll find standing stones, Celtic
crosses, castles, dramatic cliffs and
mountains, wide sandy bays and lush
green valleys in the Welsh countryside.
The heritage and culture of Wales reach
back over thousands of years-when poetry
and music, art and craft, dance and
story-telling all played an essential
role. Cardiff, the capital city, is
cosmopolitan and exciting--a far cry
from the sleepy rural villages. Wales
offers something for everyone. More

miles wide, you'll find a surprisingly
wide variety of scenery-majestic mountains,

Causeway. Belfast, the capital city,
offers museums and history, grand Victorian
and Edwardian buildings, gardens, shopping
and, of course, great nightlife. Added

find castles and cathedrals, linen and
lace, crystal and china, and some of
