Walking
through Wales you quickly discover why it is different and unique
Known as Cymru in its own language, ‘the Land of Comrades’, Wales is a nation
culture and language that is the sole remaining part of a Britain that has
long disappeared.
Ancient Celtic trails thread their amongst
some of the oldest, most beautiful yet least explored landscapes
in Britain, where you will meet few other people
along the way.
Surrounded on three sides by the sea,
Wales is a peninsula of unspoiled natural beauty and scenic
contrasts - gently rolling hills, secluded valleys, grey
stone farmhouses and dry stone walls disappearing over
dramatic mountain ranges, sparkling
glacial lakes, and breathtaking panoramic coastal scenery all crop up unexpectedly
round every bend.
This
is superb walking country. Wales’s
ancient landscape hides a network of hidden trails
and paths, a legacy left by its early Celtic inhabitants and
other occupiers.
Within its small expanse lies a land
of spectacular contrasts and scenery that constantly changes
and surprises you.
Each
day is different as we guide you along some of Britain’s best walking
trails once traversed by ancient Celts and earlier occupiers
