Welsh History

We Welsh have a strong sense of our history. Maybe it’s because of all those invasions. 

We’ve been conquered by the Celts, the Romans, the Saxons and the Vikings - and we’ve come out the other side a proud and resilient bunch.

We’ve looked after the remains of our past. You’ll discover ancient castles where famous battles were fought, fortresses built to keep invaders at bay, as well as more modern records of the industrial revolution, like our coal mines.
