Wales is one of the most picturesque countries in the world, a country in which Nature displays herself in her wildest, boldest, and occasionally loveliest forms.

They call themselves Cymry or Cumry, and their country Cymru, or the land of the Cumry.

Wales signifies a land of mountains, of vales, of dingles, chasms, and springs. Catch this amazing read by George Borrow.
