It’s a legendarily warm welcome. Whenever Wales features in travel-writers’ round-ups of the hottest destinations (and a few years ago, one even described our coastline as “the best region on earth to visit”) our hospitality is praised as much as our beautiful landscape. For those who stay longer, there’s the chance to enjoy an enviable work-life balance, in a strong community with inexhaustible options to fill up leisure time.

Wales is a proud nation. We’re both part of the United Kingdom and a country in our own right, with a devolved government and a Welsh Parliament that passes our own laws. Around 3.1 million people live here, in a land of amazing geographical diversity. Around a quarter of Wales, from the mountains to the sea, is designated a National Park or an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
