Facts About Wales
Wales (Welsh: Cymru; pronounced IPA: is one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. Wales is located in the south-west of Great Britain and is bordered by England (Lloegr) to the east, the Bristol Channel (Môr Hafren) to the south and the Irish Sea (Môr Iwerddon) to the west and north, and also by the estuary of the River Dee (Afon Dyfrdwy) in the north-east. Wales is the largest principality in the world.

Welsh cultural identity, represented by elements such as monastic asceticism, a highly evolved secular legal system (Cyfraith Hywel), and a distinctive literary tradition emerged after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century. Of the principal polities within Wales, only Gwynedd retained independence until the late 13th century, when it too was conquered by England. However, formal annexation and abolition of Welsh law did not take place until the 16th century. Wales (with all regions united under one government) has never been a sovereign state, although a number of rival principalities remained independent until the Anglo-Norman conquest.

Two thirds of the population of Wales live in the valleys and coastal plain of the south, with a further significant population concentration in the north east. The remaining areas in Mid Wales, the south west and west are predominantly rural and characterised by hilly and mountainous terrain.

Wales is located on a peninsula in central-west Britain. The entire area of Wales is about 20,779 km² (8,023 square miles). It is about 274 km (170 miles) north-south and 97 km (60 miles) east-west. Wales is bordered by England to the east and by sea in the other three directions: the Bristol Channel Môr Hafren to the south, St George's Channel to the west, and the Irish Sea to the north. Altogether, Wales has over 1,200km (750 miles) of coastline. There are several islands off the Welsh mainland, the largest being Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in the northwest.

Welsh Cuisine
Welsh cuisine is the cuisine of Wales. It has influenced, and been influenced by, other British cuisine.
Although both beef and dairy cattle are raised widely, especially in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, Wales is best known for its sheep, and thus lamb is the meat traditionally associated with Welsh cooking. Specific dishes associated with Wales include:

• Bara brith, "speckled bread," is a sweetbread which originated in Wales. It is traditionally made with raisins, Zante currant, and candied peel.
• Cawl is a Welsh stew with lamb and leeks
• Crempogs are Welsh buttermilk pancakes.
• Faggots are Welsh pork meatballs.
• Laverbread is a Welsh seaweed delicacy.
• Welsh cakes are small cakes cooked on a bakestone.
• Lob Scows is a popular stew in Holyhead and Anglesey, a version of the Liverpudlian 'Scouse'.
• Welsh rabbit, or Welsh rarebit, is toast with cheese and butter.
• Glamorgan sausage is cheese in breadcrumbs in the shape of a sausage.
• Cockles are very popular in Wales and served in a variety of ways although usually steamed.

Various cheeses are produced in Wales. These include Caerphilly cheese, Y Fenni cheese, Llanboidy cheese, Red Devil, and an exceptionally strong variety of cheddar, the "Black Bomber."

There are a number of Welsh beers and more than 20 vineyards in the country. Most of the vineyards have been started since the 1970s. By contrast, S A Brain and Felinfoel companies have existed since the late 19th century, based on breweries which were yet older.

The Corona company used to make a variety of fizzy drinks in their factory in the Rhondda: the factory has now shut down, but memories of the Corona man, of collecting the bottles to collect the deposits back and of the flavours—especially cherryade and dandelion and burdock—remain, in and around the South Wales Valleys in particular.
