Get your Bearings:
So, where is Wales? First lets clarify - it is NOT in England! This distinction is not only correct, but is immensely important to the Welsh who cherish their unique language and culture.
Wales is a part of Great Britain, along with Scotland and England.
The U.K., or United Kingdom, includes the countries of Great Britain as well as Northern Ireland.
A good place to start your trip to Wales is in the bustling, cosmopolitan capital, Cardiff. A large bay laps quietly next to contemporary hotels, the huge Millennium Center and the old harbor. The centerpiece of the city is the 12th century Cardiff castle.
