Highlights of a visit to southeast Wales through photographs
I visited Wales for the first time this fall. The scenic countryside began as soon as I crossed the Severn Bridge. I was in south-east Wales for under a week and only saw a fraction of it, but what I saw and experienced was delightful. It is easiest to share that experience through photos.
Scenic drives
Beautiful countryside
Wye Valley
Brecon Beacons
Kayakers near Lake Llangorse crannog, built in 916
(A crannog is an artificially created island, built for protection and corralling animals.)
St Fagans National History Museum,
with over 40 original historic buildings from various parts of Wales
Picturesque villages and towns
Historic and welcoming pubs
There is so much more of Wales I need not see, but my brief foray into Wales was a great introduction. An added bonus was the colours of the autum foliage.
Have you visited Wales? What did you like best?

February 9, 2016 at 1:30 amGorgeous photos, Donna. Your post reminds me that I need to start boning up on my Welsh history and planning a visit there. Looks like you could spend days just driving the back roads and taking pictures! Anita

February 11, 2016 at 7:06 amThanks Susan. There were so many more wonderful colours I didn’t get photos of, because we were driving or some other reason.
