Top 10
attractions to visit in Wales with Irro Charter
Irro Charter would like to highlight Wales, the
country that is part of the British United Kingdom. The capital city is Cardiff.
Wales is bordered by England from the east, Irish Sea from the north and west,
and the Bristol Channel to the south. In the fifth
century after the Romans departed Britain, Wales became an independent nation,
but by the thirteenth century it was taken over by the English. In the
fifteenth century Wales became independent again briefly just to be taken over
by the English in the sixteenth century again. In the nineteenth century Welsh
nationalism was born again, and culminated in 1999 with the establishment of
the welsh parliament.
A large portion of Wales’s landscape is
mountainous, especially to the north and the central parts of the country,
which is why most of the population inhabits the south part of Wales. Wales’s Mountains
are a magnate for hikers, and offers great extreme sports settings. The coast
line of wales has dozens of nice beaches and a marina. In summer times wind
surfing and other water sports are popular around wales when the weather
permits.

The magnificent Tredegar House was built in the
late seventeenth century for the Morgan dynasty with great English gardens
surrounding the manor, and was kept by the Morgan family until 2011 when the
national trust took control of the property. It is a must to give great praise and
credit to the National Trust for their extensive renovation of the property,
and especially the indoors décor and furniture of this historic treasure.
This unique and strategic fort was built
between 1268 and 1271 by an English Baron to repel the welsh price of wales.
This fort had very militarily strategic design in the thirteenth century, and
the first castle to use water ponds, portable passages, and multiple fortifications
for defense that actually set new standards for building formidable forts ever
since. Hollywood did not miss the opportunity to film many period movies here. Since
the fourteenth century the Bute family has taken care for this national gem
until the fifth marquees donated the castle to the state 1950.
The beautiful and inspiring Bodnant Gardens
were established in 1875 along with the Bodnant Estate of 80 acres by the McLaren
family whom lived there and cared for this estate and gardens until 1949 when
they donated the whole estate to The National Trust. This estate is on the
Conwy River and on the other end has the Carneddau Mountains. The flower colors
and amazing scents in spring are an extraordinary enjoyable heaven to
experience.
The Bute Family donated the Bute Park to Cariff
city in 1947. The Bute Park consists of three different parts, first is the
Pontcanna Field, second is the Sophia Gardens, and third is the Llandaff Field.
This park gives Cardiff a wonderful green stretch between the River Taff and
the Castle. It is a great chance for city workers, locals, and tourists to
enjoy some great fresh outdoor moments in Cardiff.
Barafundle Bay is a 2.5 Km walk from Stackpole
Quay along the coast line. It is famous for its beauty and sand. Be prepared in
summer weekends to see crowds all over this special beach. For the adventurous
hikers and walkers you can go from the south side of the beach and take the
coast path to the Stackpole Head and explore the rock arches and striking
cliffs.
The Erddig manor was established between the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and was the seat of the Yorke dynasty for
around two hundred and fifty years. Erddig Hall is a great castle and was
within a 1900 Acres beautiful estate. In 1973 The National trust took over
ownership and custodianship of this national star, with the house being
restored to it’s original glory days, and still no electricity, but only with
486 acres left in the estate as the trust needed to sell some land to cover the
high costs of repairing and rehabilitating the house in the seventies and
Eighties.
This mountain summit is very popular with
hikers and adventure seekers, with hundreds of thousands of people making the
trails to this summit every year. There are several different paths and tracks
to reach this summit, with the shortest path being called the motorway because

take the path through the Cefn Cwm Llwch rim, this path is longer, but has mush
better views and much less traffic.
The Ramsey Island (in welsh: Ynys Dewi) is a
reservation Nature Sanctuary by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

whales.
