The Tour of Wales Site
Welcome to the new look Tour of Wales site.
Look at What's New. A list of the pages that have been recently added or updated.
Since 1993, this site has been providing information about Wales and a tour of some of its sights. However, as other sites came on stream - such as the Welsh tourist board, Cadw and others, this site began slipping in the search rankings and started to suffer from neglect.
Rather than let it die altogether, we are now repurposing the site. Some of the extra stuff that didn't really belong here is being given its own site.
Few places on Earth have so exercised the imagination as the land of Wales. From the dawn of history this small corner of the British Isles has been inhabited by people and nations, and the scars of a turbulent history are forever etched in the unique and enigmatic countryside. Here you will find a gallery of images of Wales.
Wales is a land of mystery and culture, history and outstanding natural beauty. Legendary figures abound: King Arthur; the great wizard Gwydion; Merlin; Taliesin the bard and Macsen Wledig.
If you want castles, they are here. If your interest is industrial heritage, we have that too. The Roman Empire reached these shores, and yet the Celtic spirit was left undiminished. In these pages we would like to take you on a short tour of the ancient nation that is Wales.
Have your say on any of our topical issues or generally about this site in the discussion groups. Historically our most active discussion is about Welsh Identity and what that means.
Got something to say about Wales? Write us an article, and if you can commit to a regular column about Wales or a Welsh perspective, we can set you up with a Weblog.
Send articles and requests to submissions@tourwales.org.uk. We won't pay you a penny, because we don't make any money! but you get the fame and honour! All articles can be discussed with the comment form.
The opinion section of this site has now been hived off to a seperate weblog: Y Safle: Pretentious Waffle from Wales.
