DISCOVER A TASTE OF WALES The Welsh Lovespoon A handcrafted gift made of a solid block of wood, the tradition of a male admirer crafting a lovespoon for a young woman indicated to the woman’s family that he was skilled and capable with his hands. The oldest existing lovespoon in Wales dates back to 1667. Each specific carving on the spoon is symbolic, from the eternal love of the Celtic knot, to the twisted stem indicating togetherness

St David – Patron Saint of Wales On 1 March each year we celebrate our patron Saint, Dewi Sant or St David who died on that day in 589AD

The Harp The harp is the only traditional instrument in Wales with an unbroken history up to the present day. It is also the instrument most often cited in Welsh literature through the ages

DID YOU KNOW... Built in 1805 by Thomas Telford, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the tallest aqueduct in the UK. It was once the tallest boat crossing in the world.

The Great Orme, which takes its name from the Old Norse word for sea serpent, near Llandudno has the longest artificial ski slope in Britain - built in 1987, it’s nearly 1,000ft long.

At 1085 metres high, Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales and it surpasses the heights of any mountain in neighbouring England and Ireland.

There are 6 cities in Wales, 2 of which are in North Wales Bangor and St Asaph.

It was in the gardens of 17th century Nantclwyd Hall, near Ruthin, that Major Walter Wingfield invented lawn tennis in 1873.

The Menai Bridge in Anglesey was the world’s longest bridge when built in 1826. It was also the first suspension bridge that had the ability to take heavy traffic.

What’s in a Name? 59 letters actually!! In the 19th century a joker was responsible for naming this town in Anglesey (deep breath)

St Dwynwen's Day

Welsh National Flag It took until 1959 for the Welsh national flag to be officially unfurled for the first time. The significance of the dragon in Welsh culture is believed to date back to Arthurian legend when Merlin had a vision of a red dragon (representing native Britons) fighting a white dragon (the Saxon invaders). The use of green and white refer to the colours of the House of Tudor, the 15th century royal family of Welsh origin. The red dragon won the battle just in case you were wondering…

NORTH WALES COAST

Enjoy Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel Set within the grounds of a romantic castle, but with all the amenities of a modern hotel, this AA 4-star hotel has it all. In a beautiful countryside location, it’s only half an hour from Llandudno’s beach and pier. You could also explore other local gems like the beautiful Bodnant Gardens or Snowdonia.

Bustling seaside towns, less than two hours from the England border near Chester with an extensive range of family attractions and miles of sandy beaches – the North Wales Coast is a Welsh Riviera of contrast and charm. Llandudno is known as the Queen of Welsh Resorts. It’s not difficult to see why with its wide promenade backed by a graceful crescent of Victorian buildings. From Llandudno’s tranquil atmosphere and Victorian charm and extensive range of accommodation to Colwyn Bay, with its water sports activities and the sheltered harbour of Rhos-on-Sea, making it an ideal area for water-sport activities, fishing or a gentle stroll.
