Wales' Must-See Treasures

Wales features medieval fortresses like the UNESCO-listed Caernarfon Castle and the moated Caerphilly Castle. Natural landmarks include the peaks of Bannau Brycheiniog and the 90-foot Henrhyd Falls. Cultural sites range from the open-air St Fagans National Museum of History to the Victorian Cardiff Central Market and the industrial heritage of the Parys Mountain copper mines. The coastline is defined by the South Stack cliffs and historic 19th-century lighthouses.
