Brilliant I love Wales I moved here 6 months ago I'm currently in the south Wales in the valleys . But I've traveled most Wales. I spent just over a month in the Gower last year . I waited all my life to fall in love visited Wales fell in love . Went back to Suffolk and felt home sick for Wales my heart was hurting . I left everything and everyone behind me my boys we made unanimous desotion to move here. I'm not English I'm Sicilian and was born bread in Sicily and Wales is the closest to home I can get . I would never go back to England. Love Wales and the Welsh.

Thank you for your comment. Welcome, glad you love it here. We appreciate Wales more after we travelled, it's always good to come home to Wales.

I recently discovered that my ancestors sailed from Wales to America in 1604. I would like to visit Wales to connect to that side of my family.

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

I know quite a few Welsh ended up in South America to start sheep farming. Wales was (and still is) quite a small country and there's not that many of us around the world. It's definitely worth visiting some time.

@bonzey1171 6 лет назад

Yeah, top 5 for me after spending 6 months there are: 1. People are super welcoming and extremely nice 2. Hill forts, which there are many, especially the ones not frequently visited, some of the best of which have stunning views of the Beacons. Pen y Crug comes to mind, as does Twyn y Gaer, not the one in the Beacons, but the one by Skirrid 3. Elan valley in the winter when the dams are spilling over. Amazing place 4. Devil's Bridge. Costs a couple pound to do the trails on either side of the road, both of which are well worth the few quid required for entry 5. Llyn y Fan Fach, totally amazing place, hard to get to and incredibly scenic

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

@WorldHeritageJourney 6 лет назад

We loved Wales on our visit last year - you've covered most of them! Our highlights were the Brecon Beacons, Mount Snowdon, Anglesey, the castles of King Edward (a World Heritage site!), and a gorgeous beach we went to down in the south-east that I can't remember the name of!

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

Which beach in the South East did you get to, that's where we live. Could it be Ogmore by Sea or Porthcawl (Rest Bay)

@WorldHeritageJourney 6 лет назад

Sorry I meant south-west! It was Barafundle Bay I was thinking of, though we also loved Ty Coch beach up in the north-west. I think we spent two nights in Cardiff though, visited St Fagans and the Big Pit on the way in! Just a few days before the European Cup final last year, so a great atmosphere in the city as well

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

Barafundle and the Pembrokeshire coast is very nice.

@TannerRoth 6 лет назад

Wow, there are some nice landscapes. Nice looking castles. Good reason. Lol, come for the rain. Love all the sheep shots.

My Dad was from South Wales so I spent much of my childhood there visiting my grandparents. I spent many a summer day on the Gower coast and Kenfig. This video was very nostalgic for me as I haven't been back for years. I really need to visit soon.

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

The Gower is beautiful and can be great if you get some nice weather in the summer. It's never that busy which is nice.

@talesofabackpacker 6 лет назад

I love Pembrokeshire National Park, we went camping there, it was gorgeous! I haven't visited a castle in Wales yet though, I had no idea there were so many there!

@debbiegraham9776 6 лет назад

I had no idea there were so many castles in Wales!! Over 600 ?! We have to go! The landscapes are lovely!

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

There all in different states of repair, some are just lumps and ruins like the one in the video and other are still in pretty good condition. Ther are 4 within six miles of our house.

@neilevans4352 Год назад

not wanting to get too political but (most) of the castles were built to wage war against the welsh who were constantly fighting english invasion, it was called the ring of steel and wales has more castles per head of population than anywhere small history lesson but if you visit dig deeper👍

i will be visiting london in oct this year and have 4 days that i can visit a nearby location.. can u suggest what to choose wales vs scotland? want to see beautiful landscapes, good food and castles but both places are known for these..

@flydriveexplore 5 лет назад

Wales is closer to London, Cardiff the capital is just over 2 hours by train from London. Cardiff has it's own castle, we do have a link to this on our You Tube channel. The coastline of West Wales is beautiful with the coastal walk along the rugged cliffs and there are some pretty little seaside towns like Tenby, Pembroke castle is also very impressive.

@travelpockets 6 лет назад

You sold me! Don't know much about Wales, so this really opened my eyes on what it has to offer. I still have not visited a castle, so maybe I can start in Wales since they have so many!

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

Yep, we have a lot of castles, 600 is quite a lot. Some are just ruins with a few walls some other are still quite intact. Most date back from 800 years ago.

@taffyducks544 6 лет назад

@flydriveexplore 4 года назад

Hi, thanks for watching. From London, Cardiff is only a couple of hours by train from Paddington. This has Cardiff Castle, museums and St Fagans Welsh Life museum, all are worth a visit. Not far from Cardiff is Caerphilly castle which is one of the biggest. Wherever you visit in Wales, there will be some interesting castle nearby.

what is brans beer and why is it disgusting? the beach is nice and empty. castles would be the best feature for me. lots of funny little reactions. never heard of half rice and half chips. LOL at the creepy sheep music! you should've had the sheep show up in the cabin at the end!

@flydriveexplore 6 лет назад

Brains beer is the name of the local Cardiff Brewery SA Brains (Brain was just the man's surname), luckily no real brains involved! Although it was often referred to as 'Skull Attack'!! That place at the end was on a farm, so a real sheep could've shown up.

@peterjarvis9367 6 лет назад

In North Wales the weather is better - we don't have rain, only liquid sunshine; the last snow melted last week. The climate is equable - there is at least one vineyard producing really good wine; we have bigger, better, World Heritage castles and the finest walled town in Britain, the best Tudor town house in the country, the greatest little railways in Britain and the biggest mountains south of Hadrian's wall. The wildlife is varied with ravens, kites, ospreys, martens, otters and many others - if you don't see at least one baby dragon, you are not doing very well.

Too true, it never rains there. Also, North Wales was the setting for 'Ivor the Engine'.

@craigpilgrim283 5 лет назад

Depends on where you live west and north a lot more Welsh spoken I live in the gwendreath valley ..where 80% are welsh speakers you will hear welsh and English spoken ....parts of north Wales are 99% welsh speakers ...most of south Wales lost the language due to industrial trade ...and the major townships Cardiff Newport Swansea ...but as you enter dyfed ..all the signs will become welsh 1st a sign that your in Welsh speaking areas ....Wales has a population of 3 Million ....with only 600 thousand fluent welsh speakers ...but ...most of the population is in the three cities .....in average land mass Wales is 7% populated ..so lots of open space but if you want to hear the langague spoken openly head to west or as it's 1 st langague for most appart south walians ....;) north ....Carmarthen .Llanelli .ammanford ..aberareon ..Ceredigion. Powys and all north west from Conway to Anglesey to aberwystyh you will hear the Celtic tongue spoken.....enjoy
