Wales Country Information - Cities, Culture and Sporting Heritage
Wales has 750 miles of coastline. Beautiful countryside. Spectacular food and drink. 641 castles. It also has it's own language - one of the oldest in the world.
Wales is a constituent country within the United Kingdom, located in the west of Great Britain, sharing a land border with England to its east and the Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean to the west. Wales has a population estimated at three million and is a bilingual constituent country, with English the language spoken by the majority
Welsh Cities
Cardiff - You can go to Wales and not see a person for miles. Go to Cardiff to see thousands. 319,700 in fact. That’s why we have 149 pubs, bars and nightclubs (18 on the waterfront). 73 restaurants. 125 hotels. And a 75,000 seat Millennium stadium. Makes a nice change if you get bored of all the green.
Swansea - Rhossili Bay in Swansea has the 7th most photographed sunset in the world. It’s the ‘British supermodel of beaches’. Picturesque
Mumbles village and pier nearby take a great photo too. And Gower
Peninsula was Britain’s very first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Snowdonia - About 65% of Snowdonians speak Welsh. So it helps to know a few common words, like ‘arddunol’ (beautiful),
‘syfrdanol’ (stunning), and ‘hyfryd’ (lovely). Once you’ve got the hang of it, test your skills on the
first written Welsh on a stone at Tywyn Church. It says: ‘Cingen celen tricat nitanam’
Culture
Wales is primarily represented by the symbol of the red Welsh Dragon, but other national emblems include the leek and daffodil. The Welsh words for leeks and daffodils are closely related and it is likely that one of the symbols came to be used due to a misunderstanding for the other one, though it is less clear which came first.
Sport
The most popular sports in Wales are Rugby Union and football. Wales, like other constituent nations, enjoys independent representation in major world sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup and in the Commonwealth Games (however as Great Britain in the Olympics). As in New Zealand, rugby is a core part of the national identity, although football has traditionally been more popular sport in the North Wales, possibly due to its close proximity to England's north-west. Wales has its own governing bodies in rugby, the Welsh Rugby Union and in football, the Football Association of Wales (the third oldest in the world) and most other sports. Many of Wales' top athletes, sportsmen and sportswomen train at the Welsh Institute of Sport and National Indoor Athletics Centre in Cardiff, the Wales National Velodrome in Newport and the Wales National Pool in Swansea. However the Cardiff International Swimming Pool is the only Olympic standard pool in Wales. |
