5 Favorite things about Wales || Americans in Wales 

I love you guys but don't you think you should rethink the title of this video?

Coolest flag and coolest national anthem. "Hen wlad fy nhadu" is so beautiful.

Us Welsh people are very proud and passionate about our country and videos like this and seeing peoples comments about wales fills us with soo much more pride and it warms me to see peoples appreciation for our country, thank you for this video 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

As a Welshman living in England, I always love seeing how others view my home land. Thank you for spreading the word .

National anthemn is incredible. Try hearing that sung at a sporting event.. Im English but hearing that sung at the millennium stadium is so much more powerful than god save the queen

Hearing you speak about our country like this give me a warm feeling of pride. We definitely appreciate u taking your time to visit and give such a accurate review and llongyfarchiadau 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I am English but I love Wales! I used to have a job which took me to south and west Wales at least once a week. Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion all great places to visit.

I am English and used to visit South Wales a lot as a child as I had relatives living there and seeing Welsh on road signs used to scare me as a 6 year old! It's so unusual compared to English but as a Celtic language it's much older than English. I can laugh at it now. I recently visited Harlech and the surrounding area, Wales is so empty compared to much of England with lots of amazing, tucked away places and lovely empty beaches, a beautiful country that doesn't shout about itself enough.

I would recommend Pembrokeshire West Wales to anyone I have lived here for 15 years and couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

From a Proud Welsh Guy thank you so much Diolch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Im Welsh, I have lived in the North and the South. Thanks for such a heartfelt and honest video :-) Dioloch

Thank you for all your kind words and appreciation. Diolch yn fawr!

God made Scotland from a piece of rough tweed, he made Wales from his green velvet slippers.

Aberdovey and Barmouth are my favourite places in Wales. Of all the places my kids have travelled to, Turks & Caicos, Spain, Italy and even Disney.....the simplicity of going to wales is by far their favourite holiday!

What a lovely video, brought a tear to my eye! (Welsh living in Canada) Welsh is actually really easy to pronounce, after you have mastered the letters LL and CH, as it is almost completely phonetic. Yes I have heard that about the number of castles there too.

Watch out for those killer Wales ;) I love Wales and I love the Welsh (always up for beer and banter), when mountain biking in North Wales I think that was some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, and then down south you have the Pembrokeshire coast line etc... lovely.

Thank you for making this :D Love seeing my homeland being mentioned! Diolch yn fawr :D

Aaaaaaaand Always a bonus when you're going walkabout in the bush is... You aint gonna be bear food ! Or Snake fodder Or Spider ...... Yaada Yada yada !

We've been to Wales on several holidays over the past few years and fell in love with the country. We mainly visit the area around Machynlleth in Powys. It's a great place to base a holiday on as you're on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, reasonably close to the coast at places like Aberystwyth and our favoute seaside town of Aberdyfi. Our favourite Welsh treat is Barra Brith, a lovely rich fruit cake. A slice of that and a cup of tea or coffee always goes down a treat.

The castle one is right, we have over 600 of them, I live a 5min bus ride from our biggest, Caerphilly which is absolutely stunning, and you should definitely check it out.

The city of St Davids is magical. All of Wales is. Lovely video.

You’ve said some lovely things about our country of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Thank you

Nice to hear an American praise our wonderful country. I suggest you come visit Ynys Môn next time you're here, very similar to the mainland but all packed into a smaller space.

Wales is an amazing country. I have grown up going to north Wales every year to visit family and I just love it. Go to Blaenau Ffestiniog, that is where my family are. The piles and piles of slate that are there are quite amazing and the caves that were the mines they have converted into an attraction called Bounce Below, they are big multiple, slightly bouncy nets hanging from the cave walls. Outside there are also zip lines for the adrenaline junky.

The Walsh flag is beautiful. My sister loved going to somewhere she said was called The Black Mountain.

When God had finished practicing he then turned his attention to Wales. His masterpiece.

Your welcome back

Thank you for your lovely comments about Wales. There is a Welsh word that is used to describe a longing to return to Wales (or a strong sense of longing generally) and that is 'hireath'. It is pronounced here-eyeth.

Welsh is essentially a phonetic language and as long as you get the letter sounds right and realise there are mutations when you put certain words together it's not all that difficult. Oh and Welsh has more vowels than English

Wales is awesome. I love it the super green, the grand landscape and the folk. No wonder we like going back. Mark

I lived for 10 years overlooking Pembroke Dock and the Milford Haven estuary. We literally had ferries at the bottom of the garden. I would recommend Pembrokeshire and a boat trip round or to Ramsey or the other islands, Skomer and Skokholm. A lot of the names round there are Viking, which makes St Davids worth a visit because it was built in a hollow to hide it from the raiders. You can also hop on a ferry (Pembroke Dock or Fishguard) and travel to Ireland for the day to see some real greenery.

I'm missing Wales and Scotland so much at the moment, the mountain biking in Kent just isn't the same. Also I always think of Wales as a bite size Scotland but with 10x better weather 🤣. Don't tell my Scottish family and friends i said that, come to think of it don't tell my Welsh Auntie that either 🤫.

Being from and have lived in Wales all my life ,I just love this video!It regards to castles ,when I travel to work (usual circumstances) I pass 4 visible castles! Also if you haven’t been I recommend you visit Tenby in Pembrokeshire and if you like a good hike visit Pen Y Fan in the Brecon Becons.

Helo o sir fôn. Hello from anglesey . Thank you for such a nice and positive video about wales. Diolch i chi am Vidio mor neis am gymru🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

What a respectful and sweed review and yes Wales are amazing.

You must visit Gower, can be known as ‘The Gower Peninsula’, but ‘The Gower’ is a no no. King Arthur’s Stone and wild ponies, the fabulous Three Cliff’s Bay, fabulous restaurants, and the best view from any pub in Britain at The Worm’s Head In at Rhossili. Before getting there you stop at one of Britain’s greatest markets at Swansea, and purchase some laverbread and crepnogs before going over to Gower via the small seaside resort of Mumbles; a must do there being an ice cream at Joes.

Hi Danielle, great video. In February I moved to North Wales after living in London for 30 years, and it’s one of the best things I’ve done. It’s beautiful, I live by the sea but there are hills and mountains in the background. I love it and I’m glad you got a chance to experience it too. Hope everything is going well for you and the baby ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for your beautiful comments. On a historical note, many of the castles, especially on the border were built by the 'Old Enemy!' Apparently our ancestors objected to them visiting:))

Thanks for talking about wales as an English man i don't know much about it.

A lot of the castles were built by Edward 1st to subdue the Welsh.

Great video and choices Danielle! The reason we keep our caravan in Llanrwst in Conwy is you drive 10 miles north and you are on the beach at Llandudno or you drive 10 miles south and you're in Snowdonia. Llandudno is a nice Victorian town on the coast of North Wales, but it does get busy in summer. Visit the Great Orme using the tramway, go on the cable car, visit the copper mines or have a tea break at the 'Rest and be thankful' tea room! Or take a drive around the Marine Drive. You will see the island of Anglesey which is a great place too steeped in history with the druids and the legend of Merlin. If you're in Snowdonia then you can take the train (slow!) up to the summit of Snowdon. It is quite expensive and you need to book your seats, but worth it. Choose a sunny day though or you'll see nothing but cloud at the top! We were supposed to be at our caravan for a week in May, but we'll be staying at home. Stay safe and good luck with the baby!

Snowdonia is really awesome. Beautiful mountain views and babbling streams (see Beddgelert) all within 30 mins of Harlech beach/castle which are both favourites. Top tip: Cadwalader's Ice cream parlor in Criccieth. I need to go there after lockdown. I'm English but I may as well Be in Colorado.

You are welcome anytime.

Glad you like it here :-)

Ooooh, I love Wales so much I went on Holiday once just so I could come home! Dew mun!

This is so nice to hear someone acknowledge our beautiful country! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I will always remember being on holiday and met some friends from England and I will never forget them asking how we lived.. ‘ do you have electricity?’ ‘You live in caves’!! Places to visit : Castell coch- if your looking for a truly magical castle!! Cardiff docks- if you want to learn about the mining industry and how the docks played a huge role in it!! Snowdonia- the biggest mountain in wales( make sure you go on a clear day) Portmeiron- beautiful little part of Wales that looks like your sitting in an Italian village I could say a lot more but this comment will be awfully long!!

I really have been enjoying the Schaefer family videos and the care and enthusiasm with which you produce them. We really are very fortunate to have such a sweet family from Colorado who enjoy their adoptive country so much. Wales is the land of my fathers and your report on it was so beautiful and showed how fairytale some of the hikes are. My word for Wales (Cymru) is Hyfrydol = Huh vruh dol which means breathtaking 🙂. Do carry on making such beautiful and informative videos, stay safe, and much love to all the family ❤️

What a lovely complementary and respectful video about the country I was born, raised and live! Thank you! I can highly recommend North Wales for a family visit. Plenty for all different ages to do in all different weathers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Where in Wales did you go? Brecon Beacons (South Wales) is probably my favourite place on earth. And that is saying something after going through Snowdonia (North-West Wales).

If you couldn’t tell from my username, I am Welsh, it’s nice to see Wales appreciated, I often feel like within the UK, Wales is tucked away and forgotten about by those who visit the UK because in say the US, Ireland and Scotland seems to be places that are known about and celebrated whereas with Wales that doesn’t seem to be the case, which I am partly surprised about considering after England, it’s probably the country in the UK with the biggest connection to the US historically, far more so than Ireland and Scotland, I don’t know if this is your experience as actual Americans or if I am getting it wrong. I could go into great detail on the story and history but I will give a short synopsis of maybe the biggest connections. It now strongly believed amongst historians that America isn’t name after Amerigo Vespucci like it is often taught, but it’s actually named after a Welshman called Richard ap Meryk who funded John Cabot’s exploration and it was his ship that John Cabot used too and in honour of Richard ap Meryk, he named the land he discovered after him. In Welsh, ap means son of, back before the Welsh adopted the Christian English form of naming, the Welsh didn’t have surnames, they had first names and then son of or daughter of and then their father’s first name. So Richard was the son of Meryk so his name was Richard ap Meryk. When the names got anglicised ap Meryk became Amerike. In history, naming of places followed a simple rule, if you were King or Queen, the place name would use your first name, so a if a place was named in honour of King George, it would be something like Georgetown for example, however if you weren’t King or Queen, it would be named after the person’s surname, so to take John Cabot for example, Cabot’s cove in Maine would be named after his surname. This is why the Amerigo Vespucci myth is widely debunked by historians because he wasn’t a king so his first name would not have been used, in reality, it was a misunderstanding that spread and became lore by word of mouth as opposed to actual fact. Back in the day too, the specific part of the Americas which is now the United States of America, used to be called Amerika. The other bit of evidence is the National flag, the Stars and Stripes themselves. ap Meryk had a coat of arms of which there is a surviving representation of in Bristol which was where Richard had his merchant business at Bristol docks. His coat of arms was very simple and was just Stars and Stripes and so it’s now believed that not only was the US named after him but also the flag was designed in honour of his coat of arms. Also there are many names in the US that have welsh origins, place names, surnames, also I believe 16 of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence were of welsh ancestry, 8 former presidents were of welsh ancestry, there is a lot of welsh history in the US, it’s worth delving into. If you like Jack Daniels, he was of Welsh ancestry, his surname is one of the surnames that came about when the welsh adopted the surname ritual. Daniels would have originally been ap Daniel, son of Daniel which when converted to a surname would have either become Danielson or Daniels, often the on of the son was dropped, so if you know anybody with a surname that is a first name with an s or son on the end, they would have come from welsh ancestry. Johns or Johnson comes from ap John, Jones also comes from Jon, Davis or Davison or Davies from David, Williams or Williamson from Williams, Adams or adamson from Adam, Evans from Evan etc etc As for the castles, that’s because the Welsh were very good at defending their land and when the Normans invaded England they also tried to conquer wales but wales put up a fight and fought them off so the normans had to built huge fortifications all across wales to defend themselves against the defending Welsh who were not rolling over and giving up easily and that’s why wales has the most castles per square mile Another interesting fact is Pennsylvania was named by King Charles after William Penn’s father who he owed money too. William Penn wanted to call it New Wales in honour of his roots but Charles named it after his father instead. Penn is an old welsh word for head, top or end, in modern welsh it’s just Pen with one N. The capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg, named after John Harris Snr Harris is a welsh surname that comes from ap Harri which was changed to Harris or Harrison when converted to a surname. Harri is welsh for Henry, it’s where the name Harry comes from as an abbreviation of Henry, popularised by King Henry VII, Harri Tudor, the start of the Tudor period of England, who was welsh and defeated King Richard III who was the reigning monarch of England and Ireland and ended the war of the roses and in so became the King of England Ireland and Wales, unifying the 3 countries. From then on, any king named Henry would go by the name Harry and became popular because of that and it’s why Prince Henry goes by the name Prince Harry, lol

Looks like you've mostly been to the North. If you want to learn more about Wales' recent history I'd definitely recomend Blaenavon in the South. Its a former industrial town and you can go to the former iron works and there's a coal mine called Big Pit and they do tours down into the mine. The history of Blaenavon in the 19th and 20th Century is the same as the history of the entire South Wales Valleys (which is where a huge portion of the Welsh population live). Also its not far from the Brecon Beacons mountains, and there are a few other good mountains nearby in the Abergavenny area. Also definitely go to Cardiff if you get a chance. Loads to see and do there. St Fagans is a good museum near Cardiff. Its got loads of old traditional houses/ other buildings from all over Wales so you can see how Welsh people lived throughout history

It is good that you explore our country (UK), and seem to enjoy everything you see. Wales is very green because it never stops raining.

Where I live on the Wye, on the borders of Wales, just down the road, there's a house with the remnants of a castle in the garden, literally. Goodrich Castle about 5 miles away, Chepstow Castle just down the road.

Really love it when we have visitors from other countries come and visit and enjoy the experience. Can't wait until the next world cup in the USA where they can experience our fans for the first time and what an amazing atmosphere they create. Great video.

Well, you lot can come back again!..it is a great flag xx

As an Englishman I'll freely admit that all the other conutries in the UK and Ireland all have their own charm and amazing landscapes aswell..glad to have seen parts of them all but still lots more to see :)

Glad you enjoyed Wales. Falch bo chi wedi joio 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

You mentioned that Welsh seems to have fewer vowels and a lot more consonants...you got that impression because some letters that are consonants in English are actually vowels in the Welsh language. Welsh has more vowels than English. Also, there are a few ‘letters’ in the Welsh language that contain more than one letter. Examples include ‘ll” and ‘dd’. A single ‘f’ is pronounced like the English ‘v’, whilst ‘ff’ sounds more like the English ‘f’.

I'm Welsh and proud of iy

Did you try Laverbread? Great to eat with your bacon in a Welsh fried breakfast. And no, it's not a bread!

Mmmmmm rissole i spotted when you had food up then lol and yep my home country is so lovely im from Swansea so drive 20 min any direction and its amazing in the change of landscape and views from Gower coast to Brecon and yep its true wales has the most castles per square mile than anyone in Europe at least some visble some hidden gems throw a stone and ya gona hit one lol . Next time you in wales if your in the south and close to Swansea drive a little bit north and visit Henrhyd falls u can walk behind the waterfall and the top carpark is 3min walk away its the bat cave you see in the start of the dark knight ;)

My dream to visits my homeland one day one day I pray 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I’m a musican and a singer and when ppl find out I am welsh they say oh that’s why:) makes me happy. I truly wish to make it before the days end.

There is a practical reason why there are so many castles in Wales: the Welsh resisted the Normans and Plantagenet rule for two hundred years (the English surrendered in two weeks in 1066); not until the Act of Union instituted by Henry the VIII did Wales finally become a whole part of the English Crown. So starting with Edward I (Malleus Scotorum) the Welsh territory hard won by way of battle had to be defended, hence the castle building. Most are ruins because they were either abandoned for newer family friendly structures; destroyed because we (the Welsh had no love for absentee landlords like the Irish) kept burning them down to their stone shells; they were `slighted` (rendered indefensible and of `slight` strategic risk) in the English Civil War by Cromwell`s Parliamentarians because Wales was largely loyal to the King. That said some were famously restored like Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch both by the Stewart family that owned these through dynastic marriage and had the means to rebuild in the fashionable Victorian Gothic style because of the revenues from the industrial revolution`s need for coal, that they extracted and exported - Cardiff Docks was largely built by the Marquis of Bute and he charge accordingly for it`s use. There are other castles of older origins in that they were Roman `castra` and the Welsh word for fort "castell" is derived from that word (in England place names with aster; ester; eter usually denote a former Roman military encampment) that were positioned at strategic points along the `gold road` that is now the A48; Neath, Cardiff and Caerleon (Newport) are the famous remnants of these military sites following Emperor Claudius reconquest of Britain - importantly they were usually kept near the coastline and rivers for resupply because the Welsh hinterland was not under Roman control but the locals were left to their own governance provided they didn`t interrupt trade. You walk in history when you walk in Wales.

Such a lovely video. Much love from Wales to England and the USAx

Such a nice video Danielle, glad you enjoyed. I would recommend on future visits: The Big Pit, which takes you down into an old working coal mine (and entry is free). St, Fagan's folk museum - an outdoor museum that relocates and preserves old buildings from previous centuries (also free entry). Caerphilly Castle is the biggest Norman castle still standing and has a leaning tower to rival Pisa. Barafundle Bay. Tenby. Watching dolphins off Newquay beachfront. The Gower Peninsula. (This has a southern bias as that's where I'm originally from but the north has plenty of wonders to see too).

Depending on time, go to Cardiff for a day, go in to the valleys we have coal mines, big pit is one. North wales, there’s a zip line and I think it’s the fastest in the world?? . West wales is beautiful too.

Its always nice to hear what people think off Wales im from wrexham North Wales.

It’s often intrigued me on to what American people thought of us (Brits). I’m so glad that your enjoying your new life here and hope you have a very happy and enjoyable time here.. god bless to you and your family. Steve collier,Birmingham.

There's a beach in South Wales that is the countries best kept secret. It's called Cefn Sidan Sands, located at Burry Port. It is 7.5 miles long and 1.5 miles out to sea when the tide is out. The beach is bullet straight and disappears off the horizon in both directions, and has a magical atmosphere that you can only appreciate when you're there. Do visit when you can because you'll love it!

This really warmed my heart watching this, I feel like our country is such a small place compared to the rest of the countries in the world and that it doesn't get enough light both metaphorically and literally, our mountains and weather make everything dark🤣 I live in the valleys in-between 2 different mountains the Black mountain and Betws mountain and we barely get sunlight coming through, but when we do it's nice!

I'm Welsh. Lovely to hear that you liked it here 🙂

Great video. You should go to the Gower which is about 2 hours past Bristol into South Wales

Aberystwyth area has much to see, Red Kites being fed. A Castle, a pier (Not many of those left, Nant y Moch is just beautiful. The old waterwheel and waterfall at Furness, the ancient welsh Parliament in Macythlleth. So much more.

There’s a reason for all those castles being there - it’s evidence of how difficult we were to conquer. The Edwardian ring of castles - Harlech, Caernarfon, Beaumaris, Conwy and others were really high-tech designs for their time, I remember when visiting Caernarfon Castle once, there was a display that said that castle alone cost over £22,000 to build in late 13th century/early 14th century money, which was equivalent to an entire years’ income to the English royal treasury. Beaumaris Castle was never finished because the money ran out.

Yay I saw my home town ( Porthmadog ) on your video😀😍 diolch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Diolch yn fawr. Thank you very much.

I'm Welsh Wales Beautifull Countyside And the People in the Valleys are so Down to Earth. Have you good and Bad People where Ever you go. And we lovely Flag. Newquay in West Wales is a Lovely Place to Visit .

Glad you enjoyed our country also i think next time you should visit a lovely seaside town called Aberystwyth they have lovely food and there is a castle right on the seaside

Good to see American visitors who understand us and our country. Come back soon. Diolch yn fawr :)

I love being in Wales I was born and raised here and know I speak welsh 24,7

If you go back visit the south west. Llansteffan has a lovely castle and you can go right to the top. Stunning views looking over the sea. Tenby is a great holiday destination in the summer, and a short drive from there is the Lilly ponds follow it through to Pembrokeshire coastal path over the cliffs through barafundle bay. It’s a 3 hour walk but stunning! Probably the best walk in wales bar snowdonia

Wales isn’t our name it was given to us by foreigners our name is Cymru ,

My husband’s family all live in Penarth, Wales - near Cardiff (which has a lovely castle, by the way). Penarth is a seaside town that was voted one of Wales’ most beautiful. I’m American from Colorado and I would highly recommend Penarth and Cardiff.

Nice comments about Wales, thank you. You might try these: St. Fagans Museum of Welsh Life (half day) Lunch at the Blue Anchor, East Aberthaw (one of the oldest pubs in UK around 700 years old I believe) Carreg Cennen Castle (my favorite Welsh castle) A walk along the cliffs in Gower (maybe Three Cliffs Bay) Pembrokshire (St Goven's chapel, Bosheston)

Danielle, Diolch Yn fawr (thank you very much) for portraying Wales as it is, a beautiful land. Some people think that the Welsh can be ignorant, but that is untrue, many of us are reserved though we enjoy meeting new people. If you get the chance please visit in non Covid times & witness the National Eistefodd. It is a coming together of much of the world’s youth.

Y is a vowel in Welsh

Take a canoe trip down the river Wye. You can camp aling the river at many spots, especially Byecross farm. You camp in a beautiful apple orchard.

If you haven't been, the Gower Penninsular between Swansea & Llanelli is beautiful. Also, just down the coast, westwards. Cefn Sidan Beach & country park is well worth a visit.

I am welsh and live in wales and I am so happy you made this video, if you want a video of me speaking welsh i will put a link

The Brecon Beacons, the Gower peninsula (check out Rhossili beach and Worms Head), Powys (Llandrindod Wells and surrounding areas), Carmarthenshire (Llandeilo and surrounding areas) and St David's in Pembrokeshire all worth visiting.

Hi guys. have you visited Dorset? There is a ruined castle (Corfe Castle) and you can travel on an old steam train. Some lovely beaches and fantastic countryside, and I know Matthew would love the country pubs. Really enjoying your channel.

A Welsh friend tells me that there are 29 letters in the Welsh alphabet, including 7 vowels (a, e, i, o u, w, y). It is apparently a 'say what you see' language and once you get a grip of how the letters are said ('f' is pronounced 'v' and 'ff' is pronounced 'f', for example), it is surprisingly easy. Oldest living language in Europe it seems.

Lovely video and lovely lady.

I live in the north west so we often have a day out to Llandudno which is a typical Victorian seaside resort. Conway Castle near that amazing (fantastic chippy there also) not forgetting Portmeirion and Betws-y-Coed.

Cardiff Castle is worth a visit and lies in the centre of the city. 5 miles or so away on the road to the South Wales Valleys is another gem, Castell Coch (Red Castle??).

Try Cardiff Bay and walking across the barrage to Pemarth up the hill and over to Penarth Pier. Quite a contrast looking back to Cardiff from top of the hill and down to quaint Penarth.

That longing/homesick feeling for Wales is called ‘hiraeth’ (pronounced heer-eye-th)

Stevie Nick’s “Rhiannon” was Welsh and was a witch.

Welsh is an old Britonic Celtic language that was spoken throughout most of the UK back in ancient times, before the English , Normans, Saxon Romans etc invaded the British Isles. And the Castles were built by the English to keep the Welsh natives at bay!! Only in recent times have road signs have become bilingual. As a native Welshman I welcome everyone to this land.

Snowdonia quite a drive to North Wales but worth it. Snowdon and the Llyn peninsula plus the Italianate village designed by Clough Williams Ellis. The cult series The Prisoner was filmed there. Also famous for its pottery. You'd love it ♥️
