When we think of England, we think of centuries of tradition, the “Commonwealth on which the sun never sets” and a style and class associated with a rather starchy people with aristocratic tendencies. While the Queen and the House of Lords irresistibly evoke this glorious Empire, it becomes evident when visiting the country that here everything looks to the future and a spirit of youth wafts over a country where every extravagances and craze becomes the height of fashion!

Wales, to the west of Great Britain, is not as well known to the general public. However, this hilly land dominated by Mount Snowdon has a superb natural setting, ancient castles and towns and interesting food, with Welsh lamb in pride of place.
