Welcome to Wales - Croeso i Gymru

Welcome to the land of mountains, valleys and rivers; the land of eisteddfodau, of song and of Europe's oldest language; the land of narrow-gauge steam trains and the heritage of a once-thriving industrial past, of religious revival, of ruined castles and of rugby. Walk through these pages and experience hiraeth, a Welsh word best interpreted as a deep longing for a connection with the land of Wales.

 

The Welsh word for journey is taith and it's what this website represents. However, it means more than the English understanding of journey, of getting between point A and point B. It is about all that takes place along the way: an adventure, a tour, a trek, a quest, a venture, a voyage, a mission. Join me in my taith.
