Reviewed by Brad Eden, Associate University Librarian for Technical Services and Scholarly Communication, University of California, Santa BarbaraFor anyone who wants to find out more about this fascinating country, this video highlights Wales and all of its major tourist attractions and hidden gems. From north to south, east to west, Rachel Hicks guides the viewer through Welsh history, countryside, and people. Some of the more interesting features highlighted are the many medieval castles built by Edward I, the beautiful lakes and mountains contained around Snowdon, and the small shops and famous breweries in many Welsh towns. I have visited Wales twice, and it is the land of Arthur and Tintagel, where the original British inhabitants fled when the Angles and Jutes and Saxons first invaded Britain in third to fifth centuries. If you get a chance to visit, this video is a great planning guide.
