– 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 2 hours from Rome,
Italy.
