| With such a diverse terrain and rich culture steeped in folklore and song, it is no surprise that Wales offers something for everybody. In addition to being a “walker’s paradise,” Wales offers a range of outdoor activities from golfing to diving, surfing to mountain biking, and rock climbing to fishing. Singing remains an important part of Welsh culture. At sporting events like Rugby or Football, one thing is clear — singing loudly is more important than singing well! As one of Europe’s most prominent cultural events, the Royal National Eisteddfod (ey-steth-vot) exemplifies Welsh tradition of song, dance, poetry, theatre, and rock music. Nature lovers will appreciate the pristine environment protected by three national parks and five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). Wales is home to hundreds of endangered plant and animal species. You can even observe a rare puffin colony on Skomer Island!
