Vacation Rentals in Wales

Wales, part of the United Kingdom, borders on central England. You won't see a border, but when the town names look like alphabet soup, you are in Wales (many town names are in Welsh). The coastal areas of Wales are popular seaside destinations. Pembrokeshire National Park protects most of the southern seaside. Inland you find beautiful mountain areas with Snowdonia National Park in the north and Brecon Beacons National Park in the south. There are many vacation rentals (holiday cottages) throughout Wales.
