Great Britain - Wales - United Kingdom Fly Drive As the signs say, "Croeso i Cymru"
, welcome to Wales. Wales is known not only as former home to Richard
Burton, Catherine Zeta Jones, Laura Ashley and Tom Jones, but it has inspired
the poet Dylan Thomas and other literary figures. Wales has over 400 castles,
magnificent gardens, and its own Prince. It's known for its all-male choirs,
unpronounceable town names, like Llanfairpwyllgwyngyll, and spectacular
Snowdonia National Park. .
![]() Self-Drive Wales - Your Way Wales has its own language, its own Prince, and some of the most beautiful scenery in Britain. Its borders are lined with strongly fortified castles, reminders of the time when English kings had to protect their western flank from the fiery Welsh. Towns have tongue- twisting names like Llanfairpwyllgwyngyll. Narrow-gauge steam railways puff contentedly through glorious scenery, and you can see more castles per square mile than anywhere else in Europe. The Welsh have always been fiercely independent and our independent program gives you the freedom to explore history-steeped market towns, idyllic villages, and the glorious gardens of Wales. Explore rugged landscape combining bed and breakfasts, hotels, manors and even romantic castles to form your perfect vacation! If you would like to stay at an unusual out-of-the way hotel or inn not listed here, please ask. We will be happy to plan any itinerary for you.
