I'm from Wales, I thought I would share some nature pictures from my beautiful home country.

This is Cenarth, in West Wales (sorry that I'm in this picture, it's the only good one I have of my local waterfalls)

A beautiful wooded walk in Ceredigion, near Aberystwyth

This is Ffynone, there's a lovely waterfall walk here. I used to come here as a kid with my Dad, it's pretty magical.

Cadair Idris: this is a mountain situated at the Southern end of the Snowdonia region. It translates to 'Idris's chair', Idris was supposed to be a giant, and where you can see the lake is supposed to be where he sat.

This waterfall can be found at the end of a walk through the woods near Aberystwyth. There's a gorge walk you can follow, surrounded by beautiful trees. When you reach the end, there's a small man-made cave which leads to this lovely view.

This is from the ancient Tŷ canol woodland in Pembrokeshire. Nearby these woods is Pentre Ifan, a Neolithic burial mound.

Sgwd yr eira falls in the Brecon Beacons. You can walk behind this waterfall, and there are five other wonderful waterfalls to look at on your way to see this one.

Henrhyd falls in the Brecon Beacons. Apparently this was the waterfall used for the Bat cave entrance in 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

There are places in Wales (and Scotland) known as 'bothies'. These are old cottages/ shepherds huts in the countryside that you can stay in for free. Usually you have to walk to them, but there are a few that aren't so far from fire roads. Most are looked after by the Mountain Bothies Association. If you ever find yourself in one, make sure to take care of it and keep it clean!

We have beaches too. This is a beach in Aberystwyth.

This is Ynyslas beach. When the tide goes out, you can see the tree stumps of an ancient forest in the sand.

My Doggo. Her name is Blodyn, which means 'flower' in Welsh. (Sorry that it's a Snapchat photo)

My cat Mr. G. He likes the tutu.

I see loads of posts of stunning, exotic places so I just thought I'd share what my little corner of the world was like. It's not as big and breathtaking as a lot of places, but I personally think that it's beautiful in its own small way.

Edit: Thank you all! I'm so glad you liked my pictures of my country :)
I would just like to say that yes, I know Mr. G looks grumpy but that's because he's a grouchy but loving Burmese cat, so he just looks like that all the time! He did in fact lick my nose quite a lot and purr whilst wearing the tutu.

Some things about Wales:

1. We have our own language with a stupid alphabet. Don't believe me? It reads like this: A, B, C, CH, D, DD, E, F, FF, G, NG, H, I, J, L, LL, M, N, O, P, PH, R, RH, S, T, TH, U, W, Y. No, you probably can't pronounce some of the letters, especially LL and CH, which kind of sound like hisses.

2. For those who don't know, our national animal is a dragon, as can be seen by our flag. Our national plant is the daffodil.

3. There's a place in North Wales called Zip world. It used to have the worlds longest zip line (I think it's recently been beaten?). The same company has an activity called 'bounce below', where you can basically bounce around on 5 storeys of giant trampolines with slides etc. In an abandoned mine - great fun if you have kids! (Or you're a giant child like myself). They have a load of other activities too.

4. If you like folklore and myths, you should give the Mabinogion a go - it has tales from the heroic/ mythological age of Wales in it.

5. There are waaaay more beautiful places to visit than the few I have mentioned, North Wales is stunning, as is the Swansea Gower. If you get lost of a visit, most people are quite pleasant and will help as best as they can! Although sometimes you might come across someone who doesn't speak English, especially in North Wales.
