Boasting over 600 castles, Wales is a country in southwest Great Britain known for its gorgeous rocky land of magic, myth and dragons, mountainous national parks, distinctive Welsh language and Celtic culture. Cardiff, the capital, is a refined coastal city with a nightlife scene and a medieval castle with ornate Gothic Revival interiors. In the northwest, Snowdonia National Park has lakes, glacial landforms, hiking trails and a railway up to the peak of Snowdon. With these great opportunities to learn throughout Wales, this Educational Destinations adventure is one to remember.
