  • Two of my best friends are from Wales! They're the friendliest and most loving people I've ever known!! Greetings from the U.S. :)

  • I want to go to there.

  • I always wanted to go to wales

    I'm from America x

  • nice film

  • I THINK WALES IS PRETTIER THAN IRELAND

  • I really want to go to Wales! I've always liked this country! The people seems so nice and you should get independence if you want to! Cymru for the win!

    Greetings from Sweden!

  • It seems to be a lovely country, I'm going to cycle through it in June, looking forward to it! From Switzerland with love, Sandra :)

  • Cymru am byth!

    The land of my fathers is rich in heritage, song, poetry and earlier on they had great warriors.

    Llwellwyn the great/last, Owain Glwyndor and every celtic tribe that ever lived

  • nice place,nice people

  • ah yes, around tintern :)

  • @CYMRUTUBE2 there are many many countries smaller than wales.......

  • My family came from here, This is my homeland in heart and spirit. from the clan of Jenkins.

  • Diolch yn fawr! Thank you for sharing this.. it is St David's Day today and as I live in England and have done over half my life... I have been indulging in all manner of things to enjoy my Welshness tonight here on Youtube. This was my last sweet treat before getting back to the mundane chores of life like putting out the rubbish for tomorrow! :-) Nos da

  • @CYMRUTUBE2 i think you misunderstood................i­f you roll the welsh hills flat, then it is as big as texas, it is a hypothethical mathematical idea, but the point is steep valleys offer more land than flat plains over the same 'as the crow flies' distance

  • @CYMRUTUBE2 flatten out the welsh hills and its as big as texas

  • Wonderful images.

  • Sehr angenehme Musik und tolle Aufnahmen ! Grüsse von olleGüni

  • Wales is the best location for a large number of activities, the caving, horse riding and coasteering, thank you for the upload.

  • im going to be moving there and im really happy cant wait

  • @CYMRUTUBE2 Technically, Vatican City is the smallest at 0.2 square miles, with Monaco next at 0.7 square miles. Sorry.

  • wales the last free land of britain. the whole country has fewer people than that of london. the land has inspired so many people including tolkien. i was reading through some of his books and i couldn't quite get over how alike "middle earth" is to old cymru/wales. the marshes in middle earth are relatively in the same places as in wales. and there is even a large river, which reminds me of the 7 esturary. but most of all its the language and landscape.

  • @flashash2k9 yer even the welsh people inspired tolkien to create the orks ;)

    im sorry i couldnt help myself, beautiful country though

  • @xASxDragoon the elves were based on the welsh. hence why they are shorter than the men.

  • Wow. Wales looks like a place I've seen in my dreams. Prettier and more inspiring than heaven itself.

  • @NorthernerMatty123 ahh but what has speaking welsh to english people got to do with learning Aenglisc?..

  • @NorthernerMatty123 i find it funny cause they can only say 'sheep shaggers' but i can say soooo many things to them..

  • if a english person/people ever insult you start talking welsh to them and laugh, they're faces drop most the time its amazing!

  • Was there last week and I miss it already. Wales is the most stunning place I've ever been...

  • scribd (dot) com/nb812

  • music of sincerity .

  • Welsh Contest! Email contemporarycomm@gmail. com for more information. Great prizes!

  • @TheCadoAngelus So what's the Welsh stereotype?  I'm of Welsh origin and it boggles my mind that there's such a thing as a stereotype. What would it be?

  • it's not that. its a thing thats been passed down through the ages.The English (Saxons) know that all of lower Britain is really your country and they took it from you. They slag you off because they have been brought up to do so. They have forgotten the true reason. Britain belonged to the Britons and the Picts. The Britons are the Welsh and the Picts were asimilated by the Dal Riada from Ireland and became the Scots.

  • I knew many of the places shown on this video , but there are many more that are much more beautiful than that close by .

  • another thing i can add, i hear alot of racism towards the welsh, and half the time i donot pay attention, as i have what they donot posses i have the hills and the oh so clean air of which i breath, while they mock us for what we are we mock them for what we have.

  • gorgeous land. great soundtrack. my great great great...etc ancestors ..the family of nathaniel wales emigrated to america...arrived on a board shortly after the mayflower. settled in new england. worked their way to PA ...where my family ancestors are from. i named my band after the dirt road that led to my parents dairy farm...Wales Road.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd like to go there =(

  • I was born in Wales, lived there all my life until I was 30. Then moved to the grand Rocky Mountains. But nothing compares to my memories of camping in the Brecon Beacons, even on my own! with freinds, family,.. endless days of memories.. this vid makes me ache for it all back. You can keep your bears and potential wild animal attacks in the Rockies, Wales rules, its just beyond words, the peace and the connection to the land will always bring me back.

  • Will do you a swap for two weeks.I live in north wales but long to go to Canada.on thre train through the rockies.

  • That's Hiraeth for you.

  • conscious4now- I live in the Brecons(it's still raining).My family all live in the New Forest/Salisbury Plain,so I spend my time shuttling back and forth- I'm spoilt, I suppose!

  • watch the vid or visit and you will change your mind

  • I live in Wales and it is a pretty place but most of the time its rainy and miserable... :(

  • I assume you live in/near the valleys? That's where all the rain tends to be :P

    In Cardiff and further West towards Pembrokeshire (the rain shadow) it tends not to be so rainy.

  • Rubbish, Cardiff rains plenty

  • you see people these days wishing that they lived in hollywood or london, or many rich areas full of lights and noises and some times crime and pollution,

    but i am happy where i am now

    the fields are green the rain pours from the sky like tears of god. no noise no crime no pollution. its as if ur the only person left in the world.

    I think the english are jealouse of our heritage and land, this is why they invaded so many times in the past.

  • Possibly there's something to that. They have the rest of the world believing that King Arthur was English, after all. XD

  • Emsion- jealousy,that must be it! (Just between you and me,the English were probably pleased with the fertile lowland 1/2 of Britain.I can't speak for the Norman lords who plagued the Welsh-they wern't too nice to the English either)

  • Well if the welsh hate the people who had no control over there own government and King then we might aswell hate u back the welsh are always going on about how great they are when they never invented anything great nor good England is a much more successful land why the fuck would they be jeaous of a little country next to them the only good thing are the mountrains and scenery when was the last time Tom jones went back too wales anyway.

  • @charlieiscool1000

    i think if you check your history books many things were invented by the welsh

  • Here here!!! :-D

  • which scores points for the Welsh - they know how to get over it and use it to their own advantage in the end - thanks Normans for buidling some of the castles for us!

  • i'm so proud to be welsh =)

  • so proud for beeing welsh :D - and danish and irish! haha :3

  • Wales is a great country, nice people, nice food, nice area, but not so much on the weather.

  • and I live in stinky america : (

  • Wales is my favorite part of Antarctica.

  • Have you been to wales before?

  • my country is just so wonderfull so proud to be welsh cymru am byth

  • Many of our castles were built by Welsh lords (eg Carreg Cennen and Dynevor) so apart from the castles built by Edward I most of our castles are Welsh

  • Not all of them. Dolbadarn and Dolwyddelan for example where built by Prince Llywelyn the Great (a native Welsh Prince). And although originally built to suppress the Welsh, some of Edward I's castles (such as Harlech) were key strongholds for the Welsh during Owain Glyndwr's rebellion and were also used by the Welsh Lancastrian supporters during the wars of the Roses. So on some occasions the castles actually guarded the Welsh civilization.

  • France Is Aware Of Wales!!! Italy Is Aware Of Wales..Most Of Europe Now About Wales So Hush Your Gumms But Coz We People Like You Are Pathetic

  • I've seen most of these places myself!

    Great pictures!!! :-D

  • where I live in canada the scenery is very similar to this, minus the cool architecture :P beautiful place, makes me think of lord of the rings!

  • It rains most of the time though!!!

  • haha yeah it rains most of time where i live too, if any place is as green as wales or where i live it needs to rain! :P Yeah it pretty much rains 6 months of the year every day where i live, then the other months it rains half the time, haha

  • The weather man now just says "it'll probably rain"!!! XD

  • Wales#1.

    If it was spelt Cymry#1 it would be Welsh#1!!! (I'm just being picky because I'm annoying!) :-D

  • Yay! I live in Wrexham!!! :-D

  • awful place and too close to England

  • there is only two places you can hear harp mucic that would sound like that number 1 is heavan number 2 CYMRU THAT SHOULD MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD GWLAD!

  • beautiful pictures and music! i'd love to go to this country someday!

  • i live in wales and i really do love this country, im from the Rhondda valleys in south wales

    the valleys are a beautiful place with the rhigos and the bwlch mountains so close, i ride a motorbike, and i love riding up the mountains, grabbing an ice cream up the top and checking out the scenery :D great vid btw

  • You can take the boy out of the valley.....but you can't take the valley outta the boy !

    Best wishes from an Ystrad boy in Denmark !

  • too right :) all them painfull memories lmao jokin valleys are a great laugh, im from clydach vale :)

  • Northern Ireland? How about never lol

  • I'm a Canadian who's never been to Wales, but I thought I'd share this anyway.

    I was at an Irish bar here in downtown Montreal when I had to take a leak. Standing before the urinal, I looked to my right at the wall.

    Somebody had carved into it: 'Cymru #1"

  • wow thats awesome :) and they are so right hehe :D

    im a welshy who has never been to canada ;) (but will probs be moving there soon! )

  • Hi! Beautiful video!!! What is the name of song??

  • LOL! You obviously didn't stay through the credits! ;-) It's called "The Lamentation of Turlough O'Carolan" performed by John Doan on one of the Hearts of Space albums. I have to admit, though, I felt rather sheepish using music composed by an Irish harpist to go along with my photos from Wales. But the music matched the essence of feeling for that trip so well that I didn't really have a choice. Enjoy!

  • Sorry, I really did not notice the credits...thanks for your answer ;)

  • You have Castell Dinas Bran there!

    I grew up in Llangollen, tis a great place.

  • Yep! I loved Llangollen! Castell Dinas Bran was one of the highlights of the trip. One of these days I hope to make it to the music festival held in Llangollen - I've heard wonderful things about it!

    B

  • i was there 3 years ago... Wales is like Sardinia in Italy (my country)

    AMAZING Gwlad!

  • @richardlerwill3 my grand father was born there what is the population im looking for family and want to know the odds winkapedia failed me

  • Greetings from America! I have been to Wales and found it exceptionally beautiful and the people friendly and gracious. It is one of my favorite countries in the world. All the best to Wales.

  • this is my country.this is were i was born.welsh and bloody proud

  • I live in Wales .. and i have to say it is absolutely stunning. i love your video! and the music!

  • Fishguard ;D where i used to live but have now moved to england

  • I'm part welsh, and I've always wondered what it looked like there. I finally did some research and came across this video. It's so beautiful... thank you for posting. :)

  • and yet you still decided to waste you time commenting on a video you had no interest in. God, you're a tosser.

  • Beautiful.  Thank you.

  • My pleasure. :)

  • nice video but there are even nicer pictures of wales that you could of put in. for example the snowdonian range that area has some epic scenery, im Welsh and i live in North wales and i live close to moel fammau of the clywdian range its so beuituful there come and see for urselfs its gret :)

  • The photos used in this video are all images that I took myself. Unfortunately I have only been to Wales the one time, and given the 5000-mile commute from my house I don't know when I will get back to explore more of its wonders. Rest assured, when I do make it back to Wales I will create another video with photos taken on that trip.

  • i'm sorry. i meant no offence. i really do like wales and i just quoted one of the things billy connoly once sid! : )

  • Moved from Wales 2 Canadian Rockies. As amazing as it is, U know it.. I miss Wales like crazy. Watchin this, just breakin my heart in 2. Wales will always be home, no matter how long I last here. Forgive me for abandoning you, my lovely dear homeland - Wales. I always felt so alive there, yet restless to explore the world. Now I know how much of the world there is in Wales. Its all there, the spirit of nature,.. absolutely wonderfull. Love U & miss every square inch of U, esp the Gower, damn!

  • i was suppose 2 go to wales 2 work for a year at Dalefort? are you familiar with this place? how i wish i had gone!!!

  • Shwmae!

    I'm also descended from the Welsh Morgans, but my "restless" family only wandered around south Monmouthshire plundering the local flora and fauna and the maiden population. Your so right, you must make the effort to visit "God's chosen country" someday, its so peaceful, I wouldn't swap this place for absolutely anywhere. Welsh women are very attractive (Catherine Zeta Jones and Catherine Jenkins!)

    God bless. : )

  • Hi! Good vid and beautifull music! Can you tell me the name of the piece and who is playing please?

    Have fun!

  • Blush!!! I listened to the end, but had started to read the comments and missed the credits completely...Sorry.

    Thank you for answering though! That way you just got another click ;-) Now I have seen them too.

  • How sad to see a few negative comments about Wales below, clearly people have nothing better to do than to badmouth the truly wonderful, beautiful and peaceful land of Wales. Thanks for sharing this lovely video.

  • You dont know what Wales is? You must know what Wales is you typed it in the search bar to view a video about Wales.

  • Boy, I´d really love to pack my bags and go ....

    Thanks so much for the wonderful pics and music.

  • That was beautiful!! So gorgeous and serene!! I loved it!! Makes you realise how, not only do we take it for granted ,but how often do we ever stop and take the time to really absorb its full beauty! The traversty is,that the majority of people living in Wales today, haven't forgotten how beautiful Wales is,or how lucky we are to live here,.. No, its that they've never known!! How truly sad is that!!

  • You've probably never been to Wales.

  • I'll have you know I've yet to shag a single sheep and I've lived here all my life. Hardly anyone knows what Wales is? Well then that says more about the likes of you, not being educated/informed enough to know what Wales is. You've obviously lost a boyfriend to a nice Welsh girl, as you really are very angry. You should come and visit Snowdonia one day, beautiful place, you might see that the world doesn't have to be as hateful and ugly as the world you obviously know.

    PS -I love England too

  • Enchanted lands reguardless of who inhabits them. I'm Irish American and so and most found of Ireland.

  • Beautiful. Thanks for the great video, miss Wales very much... beautiful place, nice people. I lived there a decade ago. Wish i could go there one last time.

  • I live in England and occasionally visit Wales. I take my kids aswell. It's good because I love that game they have for the kids on the motorway signs, where underneath the place names there's a scrambled-up word for the kids to try and work out

  • i liv in north wales(yay yay)

  • best u tube video i have seen you have done a great job i am going to wales aug 2009 now i cant wait to go after seeing this well done thankyou. Mary Sydney australia

  • I love Wales. It's my favourite part of England.

  • wales is not in england

  • I am English and I love Wales - it is a beautiful country full of lovely people :)

  • wales is not in england

  • I know Wales is not in England. I was just saying that even though I live in England I love Wales.

  • YHHHHHH!!!!!!! U talk complete sense look at my account pic

  • my dad comes from wales!

  • Beautiful Country, love the country side =]

  • looks like where i am from.

  • Nice vid mate!

    I live in Cardiff so I dont get to see much of the country-side which is a pity.

  • beautiful..

  • Nice video, lovely music, Wonderful country! thanks for posting this video.

  • Well, the Welsh came from Spain and Portugal originally. I've only been through North Spain but love it, especially Galicia. Of course it rains in Wales more though, but yes most of Wales is very green and pretty.

  • lol english people just get jealous of the welsh don't they?

  • Diolch Yn Fawr, Bron. Thank you so much for showing to the world the beauty that is the Principality and my home. Funny how ex-colonies look at their ancestry here and i, born and bred, look to a slice of my ancestry that is dutch ;) If you walked the Dyke then you may've come thro the town on the dyke which is my adopted home (born in the south) and i am privileged to enjoy a beautiful part of Lloegyr/England as well.

    Best wishes from red kite country :0)

  • me again

    meant to add that you mentioned llanthony priory(30secs) but just wanted to say that the other religious structure is Tintern Abbey (32 secs, 3:22,) on the Wye Valley between Monmouth and Chepstow. Anyway, ty once again :0)

    miss cardiff

    want cardiff

  • off to Cardiff you must go then :)

  • Fuck i feel like i live in England not Wales

  • yea,but we shagged them before you ate them!HA

  • But we'd be sacrificing the most beautiful part of our land to England. Then what would we be famous for? I'm actually really sorry that you feel this way. Local sports teams mean nothing to me, I love Wales for it's beauty alone.

  • Sorry, this was actually in reply to ptpt1's comment.

  • me too, my families acnestors owned part of a southern county place in Wales in the war of the roses and they fighted in that war too, i forgot what place though it started with a L

  • wales rule

  • wales ftw but this is nothing like south wales where i live there are some parts like this but its mainly north wales for scenery

  • Hey,

    I live in Wales!

    Right near the capital!

  • This is a beautiful video and I am so sorry you disabled embedding. I was born in Wales and had been hunting for a good video to share with friends in the U.S.A. This would have been perfect. I so enjoyed it.

  • I wish I knew what area of Wales this is, north or south. I was born there and lived there until I was four. Have returned several times. Would have loved to remain there.

  • I would wanna live in wales , I like the langauge. It sounds like something off of "Lord of the rings" or something. It's a cool langauge and wales has the best throughout of the british isles! I'm from America. I may end up using my vacation days to go there one day.

  • i would love to live in wales... just thinking waking up every morning to a nice counryside and rivers with big fields... instead of me living down london grrr, i hope one day will live in wales

  • This was a very rich pictorial-(my father was from Wales) and one of my favorite pieces of Celtic music. A very beautiful creation, and the Shakespeare verse at the end sent shivers up my spine. Thank you!

  • Wales Rugby Team!!!

  • to be born welsh,is not to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth,but poetry in your soul and music in your blood.

  • yeah but i don't like poetry sorry lol

  • Awsome! I'm going to Wales next summer!

  • What beautiful countryside!... I'd love to visit Wales one day.

  • wow, its funny to think im gona live here, i just wana know, is welsh a bad place with like

    youth crime, cuse i dnt wanna move from london into the same enviroment

  • Madonna is coming over to Wales for the Sticky and Sweet Tour. Hope you'll get your tix.

  • dude, not even swansea is as bad as london, and i aint sayin a live in the ritz, but reely the worst we get is a cuple of wannabees hanging round in hoodies, dude its fine, and the clean welsh air would do you good if ur a londoner.

  • That is a really lovely video. I really cant wait to see all those places with my own eyes. GREAT JOB! :-)

  • I have a welsh friend and i have to say i'm soo jealous of where he lives it looks absolutely amazing!

  • Beautiful slides of a beautiful country. As an American, my family came from Wales in the 18th century. We began with two brothers who landed in Massachusetts from Wales. My Welsh forebearers eventually migrated through the Southern U.S. I will visit Wales soon.

  • Beautiful video. I'm glad to see Wales still is so beautiful. I toured through South Wales many long years ago but didn't have time to visit up North. Maybe next year...or the next after...when I brush up on my Welsh. At a minimum I like to pronounce the names of towns right when I ask directions...;)
