About Wales
Wales is a great destination for lovers of outdoors and legend. It is covered with Europe's largest concentrations of medieval fortresses and a diverse mostly mountainous landscape, with Snowdon at 1085m as the highest peak, Brecon Beacons in the south with some spectacular caves and Pistyll Rhaedr with Wales's tallest waterfall at 75m.
The Gresford bells, Llangollen bridge (1347), St Winefride's Well in Flintshire, the Wrexham 16th century tower and the Overton-on-Dee ancient yew trees are among the must see destinations in Wales.
