What is Wales Famous For? [18 Things Wales is Known For] 

I think Wales is beautiful

Wales is so much interesting. Love from India. :)

My dad was from Cwmbran. England v Wales rugby matches were always a flaming row in our house...

Perhaps if iron work had not been omitted Wales could be well known for their early superior stance in the iron works world. I owe my Welsh-American heritage to just that fact. When railways were at their beginning here in the USA, Welsh iron workers were sought out and many migrated here. The B & O Railroad was the first commercial rail in the Americas and it was predominantly Welsh ironworkers who built the first rails. This ironworks was located in Mount Savage, Maryland in the Allegheny Mountains. Ironwork is large in the history of Wales.

You did not mention that : Wales is known as "The Land Of Song" as the Welsh people are very musically orientated, especially producing many choirs. They are the first and true people of Ancient Britain. The Welsh language is wonderful and unique. Wales gave mineral resources to other countries eg. coal and slate. Welsh mythology is fascinating.

How could you mention Tom Jones and not Anthony Hopkins as famous Welshman?

We're heading to the Uk for August and September and will spend a week in Wales in September. This is a great overview video.

No mention of Aneurin Bevan...the father of the National Health Service!

Snowdon is not just the highest mountain in Wales, but in England too!

Thx so much. This was nicely fast paced and fun !

Lloyd George was NOT prime minister in the 19thC. He became PM in 1916. The daffodil is the national flower because of its kinship to the much older national symbol of the leek. Cenin is Welsh for leek, while Cenin Pedr (Peter's leek) is Welsh for the daffodil. The red dragon was flown by Welsh archers in support of the Welsh Henry Tudor (Henry VII) at Bosworth in 1485, but Roman chronicler Ninnius wrote of the Romano-Welsh legion going to Rome in the 4thC behind the Cambrian dragon banner. I like your video, but please do more homework before your next attempt.

Great video 👍🏼

Very good, but few points you got wrong. Wales does have a national sport, its football. Its played nationally in all parts of Wales. Rugby which is often referred to as a 'national' sport in Wales, is in fact a regional game. It's played predominantly in the south of Wales and in very small areas of south Wales, which is all the more remarkable given how successful we have become winning 13 Grandslams. As for Welsh Rarebit being the national dish, that's nonsense. I was born and bred in Wales and cheese on toast is not a 'dish', let alone a National dish. You neglected to mention the rich food culture and focused upon the superficial clichés which ate more of an English invention. What about lava bred for example, or call but to name a few simple well known dishes. One significant matter which is also omitted by English commentators is that Wales was the first industrialised nation on earth, not England.

Thank you, you should mention Patrick McGoohan's 1967 Prisoner series was filmed in Portmeirion.

Thank you. I use your videos for my lessons. Make more!!!

As a proud Welsh descendant I am a little offended that there were no comments about predilection toward sheep - just kidding, I love this overview. Diolch yn fawr!

Thank you for using Conwy for the castles bit, i could literally see my school, and at the start

Planning a trip for next summer.

There probably 1000 or more things u could had to this but iv got to say its a stunning clip

The Chartists. Fought for what is now modern democracy

Wales is 'The Land of Song'. It holds the International Musical Eisteddfod every year in Llangollen. Wales also holds a National Eisteddfod every year alternating between North & South Wales You did not mention the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. There are many more things that were omitted.

Are we officially in the UK now? damn last time i checked we refused to be a part of it, If you want Wales to join the UK you can put a Dragon smack bang in the middle of the flag :)

I would love to visit…and maybe stay!

I was so looking forward to your saying Welsh pony. They are the sturdiest and have quite a history.

Wales is the BEST country in the world in my opinion I have lived in wales my whole life and I hope for my children to grow up and love the country as I do. Wales is in my opinion the country with the best view of Mountains, Castles and fields.

Yr Wyddfa - not Snowdon.

I’m from Wales Cardiff 😄

I live in Swansea wales

Im from a very close Welsh bloodline.My grandad was welsh he came from Sarn and named me at birth (Carrid/Carys as I’m known as now) I’m finally getting to come to Wales in august (south though) I’m so looking forward to seeing some of the country I’m from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 many of my family are from your beautiful country I’m so glad to be half welsh ( other half Scottish I’m afraid to say) but I’m definitely proud to have a welsh grandad 👴 and name!!

Доброго вечора ми з україни

The Welsh costume is a fairly modern construct

Good

International audiences would also know the two Rhyses, Matthew Rhys (The Americans) and Rhys Ifans (a gazillion successful films), as well as Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones, who could forget that bastard Ramsay). The Welsh also gifted the world the eisteddfod, which is something that exists even in Australia today (although perhaps with less Welsh language involvement). Furthermore, everyone knows about that town with the ridiculous name that makes for a lovely tourist trap. And speaking of places to visit, what about Hay-on-Wye, which has been featured in many, many videos and articles?

Peter’s Leak. The Daffodil came later as the Welsh words is similar to the one for Leak.

So Beauuuuut 🎉🎉😂😂😂❤😅😅😅😷🤞🏿🤞🏿😷👈😷👌👌😷👌😷👏😷👎😷🤧👈🤧🦶😷👄🤧👄🤧👄🤧👄🤧

What about Morgan the Moon? He once built a rocket - or so they will tell.... Catherine Jenkins, Rugby, longest place name in the UK and the one and only Richard Burton. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.

Bonnie tyler is the most viewed and famous welsh singer.. shirley bassey...bryn tefel...charlotte church are very famous..

Eisteddfods, Welsh language, Anthony Hopkins and other renowned actors , Welsh bands, national anthem but yeah cheese on toast trumps them apparently

4:30 makes sense given Christian Bale is from Wales

Lloyd George had 3 number 1 hits with Culture Club and only now i learn the sad news that he's no longer with us.

Aquariuswithfire. And there's Richard Burton, Shirley Bassey, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Sheen, bryn Terfel (world famous tenor), Katherine Jenkins, Sir Geraint Evans (world famous opera singer), karl Jenkins (World famous conductor) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Dylan Thomas?

That sounded like an English person trying to tell the world what Welsh people like? I'd put cockles and Lava bread well above Welsh rarebit, which I've never actually eaten in my 66 years of life. Welsh cakes, which is the English name for Teisen Lap or bake stones, should be made with lard, not butter, and only eaten cold with a cup of tea. And what happened to the Eisteddfod, surely a bigger puller than the Royal Welsh show ever was? BTW the English built the castles to try and control the Welsh.

My mother's Maiden name was "Gwilliam" is that Welch ? as a kid ...She lived close to where Darwin came from. Shrewsbury (on the ENG/ Welch, boarder.)

A guide to stereotypical cliches would be a more apt title to this vid. Where were Dylan Thomas, Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, to name a few.

Celtics. Bravo!

Errr .. Aneurin Bevan .. father of the NHS ? ...Dame Shirley Bassey... Sir Anthony Hopkins.. Richard Burton but at least you mentioned "Sheep"

used to be singing and rugby but now we are shit at both so screwed

Dylan Thomas didn't make the list?

Beautiful women....🇨🇦

You forgot to mention Matthew Rhys ;-)

I'm from argentina

No mention of Richard Burton?

The Welsh Eisteddfod, music, both harp music and some of the best male voice choirs in the world, many small country churches and chapels hundreds of years old, coal mining, iron and steel, aquaducts, and many areas of outstanding natural beauty. Much of what you listed was silly TV shows and pulp. Try looking at Wales or maybe visiting first before putting the country down as this video does.

You forgot Max Boyce and Barry Welsh

e i think that picturein Barry Island is where i went

How could you not mention The Tigress from Tiger Bay ?

Im welsh and i know my country in welsh cymru

What about Sam Warburton

What the hell, is that a tarantula in front of that waterfall? 😳

I expected Gareth bale

Batman likes castle's how many was there in the world and those people don know about a mirre red dargonw😢😅😅

Wales is a beautiful place, but get there early before it closes.

Hello

Artist top of argentina 🇧🇴 Pepo

The word "Welsh" is Old English for "Foreign Slave". Why are 3 million Britons still referred to as Foreign Slaves 1500 years later? No public discussion of this racist insult whatsoever!

Leeks because miners grew them on allotments.

Draig cymru!

Lava bread?

Or famous sayings like “who’s coat is that jacket hanging up on the floor”

WTH is this? We have a lot more interesting things than what's in this video...

I just want a scone

Beautiful women.

А можно по русски?

We all know what the welsh do with sheep and you thought it was just the swedes.

Daffodils are traditionally only worn by women, men wear leeks.

The storys of King Arthur and the first man to take flight is definitely welsh not amarican

Also, coal mining! 👍

Great video , cool channel. Happy to support you ? 👍

Wales is famous for people speaking English in the pub until they fnd out you are English and then promptly start speaking Welsh. Creoso!

hot GAR beige 👞🗑️😻

Bloody Sheep!!

Sponging, thievery and whinging mostly. .🙄

And casual racism. The welsh have always been good at that too. Destroying Pembrokeshire culture is the latest form.

It doesn't form part of the UK.!

Brexit means Brexit 🤣🤣🤣
