Photos of Wales

Considering Wales is such a small country, its landscape is incredibly varied. Ancient geological upheavals have left contorted cliffs, rugged peaks, huge sandy bays, deep valleys, and lush meadows. It is a powerful and dramatic landscape peppered with pre-historic remains, ruined castles, and tiny stone-built settlements. Its maze of peaceful country lanes are perfect for cycling, and the views are breathtaking.
