Wales offers a diverse and mountainous landscape with its lush forests and rolling hills, deep valleys and winding rivers are bordered by
rambling woodlands and meadows, outside our towns and cities you can drive for many miles through quaint villages surrounded by rich green farmlands, farms are plentiful and varied.
In our countryside you will not drive far without seeing grazing cattle, horses and lots of sheep, happily grazing on the 
mountains and on rich lowland meadows and pastures, and almost everywhere you go throughout Wales, you will also come across Red Dragons......on our buildings, wall plaques, sign posts, brochures and especially on the official flag of Wales!
The Red Dragon is an official emblem of Wales, we have several; the Daffodil, which is very popular, and during springtime our 
land is alive with a golden glow provided by these beautiful flowers throughout the countryside and gardens.
A lesser used emblem is the Leek. You will see the Leek emblem used as the Cap badge of the Welsh Guards, a Regiment within the Household Division of the British Army.
