Wales

Snowdonia mountain paths and the long coastal walking routes set the tone for many of the articles in this category. Cardiff gets a city-level treatment, but Globerove Wales coverage leans toward the slower country, including the Pembrokeshire coast, the small market towns of mid-Wales, the slate landscapes of the northwest, and the border country around Hay-on-Wye where the bookshops outnumber the pubs.

Cultural pieces handle the Welsh language as a living thing rather than a heritage item, the male voice choir tradition, the eisteddfod calendar, and the rugby weekends that change the rhythm of any town hosting a match. Practical material covers the train and bus networks, the weather strategy for a country where four seasons in one walk is a common occurrence, and the pub etiquette that rewards quiet politeness.
