Wales has more castles per square mile than anywhere on Earth and a national trail that walks the whole 870-mile coast. Eryri (Snowdonia) rises behind the north coast, Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) fills the middle, and Pembrokeshire's cliffs and beaches close the southwest. Cardiff anchors the south with a castle, a bay and a rugby stadium in the middle of town.
