Wales – the Land of Song
Wales is one of the most beautiful countries in the United Kingdom. Cymru, as it is known in Welsh, is surrounded by sea on three sides, whereas the eastern part of the country borders with England. The country is full of little towns, castles and picturesque seaside villages. Cardiff, the capital, is a bustling university town with an impressive castle, wonderful museums, galleries and lovely buildings.
English is the official language, bur Welsh, one of the oldest languages in Europe, is still spoken in some parts of the country. In fact, a special committee was established in 1988 to protect the language and today Welsh schoolchildren are taught both languages. Welsh has a beautiful song-like quality, which is perhaps one reason why singing is such a favourite pastime. Playing music, including traditional instruments such as the harp, is another popular hobby.
Wales’ breathtaking beauty attracts travellers from around the world. Snowdonia, Britain’s second largest national park is located in the north of Wales. With its amazing forests, lakes, waterfalls, rivers and ancient burial sites, the park is a popular tourist attraction. In the north of the country, high above a pretty bay, stands Caernarfon Castle built in 1283 for the first Prince of Wales. In the west is St David’s a quaint village by the sea that has the largest cathedral in Wales.
Wales has many wonderful traditions. The Welsh are proud of their culture. One of the oldest cultural competitions, The Royal National Eisteddfod, takes place every year at the beginning of August. It is an eight-day festival of music and poetry to celebrate Welsh language, art and culture. It is the largest and most popular festival in Wales and attracts thousands of visitors.
