WALES                                                                                                                                                            

– Just 2 hours west of LONDON, England, by High 

Speed 125 mph train, and home to just 3 million 

people and 11 million sheep,WALES lies on the west 

coast of Britain. The country is only 175 miles North/South and 75 miles East/West. Yet in a region the size of MD U.S.A., you will find more diversity than in a state 10 times the size.

WALES, the ancient Celtic country from which comes such world renowned artists as actor Sir Anthony Hopkins of “Hanabel” fame, singer Tom Jones, (“the Green Green Grass of Home” and “Delilah”), actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, (Mrs. Michael Douglas), and home to the world class Welsh National Opera Company, which plays Europe and the U.S.A. with that vibrancy of Celtic fervour and passionate song.

And, of course, our Male Voice Choirs, drawn from the close knit mining 

communities of the South Wales Valleys, where just a few short years, men died 

daily as they hacked out “Black Gold” from crumbling tunnels, bedevilled by 

unexpected rock falls, methane gas and the dreaded “dust”.

But WALES is also a country of immense beauty, with wild mountain ranges, mile 

upon mile of unspoilt sandy beaches, outstanding walks by waterfalls and fast 

flowing rivers, and a rural landscape that changes as you round every corner. 

WALES - Just 75 miles from Ireland,400 miles from Scotland, 7 hours flying time 

from New York JFK, and about 2 hours from Rome, Italy.
