Wales is part of the United Kingdom, bordered by England to the east. Despite being a relatively small country, it's packed with exciting attractions - from three incredible national parks and five ‘Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ to beautiful sandy beaches and the third-highest peak in Britain. Its landscape makes it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with an impressive network of hiking trails that lead past some of the country’s 400 castles, cosy pubs and stunning coastal viewpoints. Thanks to its location on Britain’s western shores, Wales is a convenient gateway to Ireland, offering regular crossings to Dublin and Rosslare.
