- Easy access to public transport - Wales is easily accessible by train and if you'd like to explore other parts of the UK in England or Scotland you can do so easily on your days off. It's only 2 hours from Cardiff to London by train.
- Friendly locals - the Welsh are incredibly friendly and will welcome you on your travels. They love Aussies, Kiwis and Canadians but if you're English we suggest keeping that quiet at first!
- Cheese on toast - the national dish is Welsh Rarebit - which is essentially a delicious cheese on toast. Using creamy Welsh cheese and thick cut bread makes this extra special.
- Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - one place that's worth a visit is the village with the longest name in Wales. We haven't got any tips for pronunciation but suggest you ask the locals!
