GREAT OUTDOORS
Snowdonia – This is one of Britain's grandest national parks, occupying a large part of northwest Wales; it is focused on the Snowdon massif.
Cycling – This has become increasingly popular and is a great way to see the countryside. Certain towns have shops that will rent bicycles.
Walking – Wales has some excellent trails for walking and if you are into this sort of thing it is a good idea to get an Ordnance Survey (OS) map, which is exceptionally helpful.
Cardiff Castle At first glance, Cardiff's city centre seems an unlikely place to find a castle. However, in the midst of this urbanization, Cardiff's ancient past is grandly displayed in the form of a fine castle. Originally built as a fort in the first century AD by the Romans, the castle has had many owners and roles. The Normans built a wooden keep inside the castle in 1000 AD on top of a huge mound surrounded by a moat.
