Wales

and everything about

him
 Wales Wales Wales
Wales
Wales, constituent unit of the
United Kingdom that forms a
westward extension of the island
of Great Britain. The capital and
main commercial and financial
centre is Cardiff.
Famed for its strikingly rug�ed
landscape, the small nation of
Wales—which comprises six
distinctive regions—was one of
Celtic Europe’s most prominent
political and cultural centres, and
it retains aspects of culture that
are markedly different from those
of its English neighbours.
LAND LAND LAND LAND
Wales is bounded by the Dee estuary
and Liverpool Bay to the north, the
Irish Sea to the west, the Severn
estuary and the Bristol Channel to the
south, and England to the east.
Anglesey (Môn), the largest island in
England and Wales, lies off the
northwestern coast and is linked to the
mainland by road and rail bridges. The
varied coastline of Wales measures
about 600 miles (970 km). The country
stretches some 130 miles (210 km) from
north to south, and its east-west width
varies, reaching 90 miles (145 km)
across in the north, narrowing to about
40 miles (65 km) in the centre, and
widening again to more than 100 miles
(160 km) across the southern portion.
 DRAINAGE
The main watershed of Wales runs approximately north-south along the central highlands.
The larger river valleys all originate there and broaden westward near the sea or eastward
as they merge into lowland plains along the English border. The Severn and Wye, two of
Britain’s longest rivers, lie partly within central and eastern Wales and drain into the
Bristol Channel via the Severn estuary. The main river in northern Wales is the Dee, which
empties into Liverpool Bay. Among the lesser rivers and estuaries are the Clwyd and Conwy
in the northeast, the Tywi in the south, and the Rheidol in the west, draining into Cardigan
Bay (Bae Ceredigion). The country’s natural lakes are limited in area and almost entirely
glacial in origin. Several reservoirs in the central uplands supply water to South Wales and
to Merseyside and the Midlands in England.
 Climate

CLIMATE CLIMATE
Spring and Summer in Wales
March is unpredictable. Some years, the
weather begins to warm up while at other
times there’s not much to distinguish March
from February. In April and May, the highest
temperatures are in the mid-50s, rising to the
mid-60s for June, July, and August. On the
south coast, along the Bristol Channel,
temperatures are warmer—reaching the
mid-70s in July and August.

In terms of rain, April through July are the

driest months with average rainfall of less than
four inches for those months in central Wales.
In south coastal Wales, rainfall from April
through June is slightly less, averaging about
2.8 inches per month.
 Autumn and Winter in Wales
In September, temperatures linger in the 60s but fall away
rapidly through October and November into the high 40s.
January and February are the coldest months with
temperatures hovering around freezing or slightly above in
higher areas and in the high 40s along the coast. Temperatures
at night are usually 10 to as much as 15 degrees Fahrenheit
colder depending on where you are in the country.

October through January are the we�est months. Rain tends to

fall in short, sharp and very heavy showers. November is
particularly squally with rain accompanied by gusty winds.
The main wealth of Wales can rightfully be called nature: magnificent
landscapes are everywhere, more than half of the territory are national
parks with beautiful beaches and dense vegetation. A highlight is
Snowdonia Park, where, in addition to the gorgeous nature, you can L A N
D S C
admire the ruins of Celtic fortresses and castles with monasteries from
medieval times. By the way, there are an unusually large number of castles
here, they stand on almost every street. For example, it is here that the

A P E
oldest castle in the whole of Great Britain is located - Chepstow Castle.
They began to build it back in 1067. In Wales, you can find the oldest
monastery in Britain, Bangor-on-Dee, which was built as early as 560.
Conwy and Caenarfon are quite impressive castles for tourists.
