Wales is one of the four nations of the United Kingdom, located in the southwest of Great Britain and is bordered by the English counties, St. George's Channel, and the Irish Sea. The term Principality of Wales is used occasionally, although the Prince of Wales has no governmental role. The National Assembly for Wales was set up in 1999 and possesses the power to determine how the government budget for Wales is spent and administered. English law is the law of Wales. The main population and industrial areas are in South Wales, which includes Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport (and surrounding areas). Much of Wales's landscape is mountain ranges, especially in north and central regions. The mountains were shaped during the last Ice Age. The highest mountains are in Snowdonia and include Snowdon, which is the highest peak in England and Wales. The group of mountains over 3,000 feet high (14 or 15) are known as the Welsh 3,000s. The Seven Wonders of Wales is a list of seven geographical and cultural landmarks: 1) Snowdon, 2) Gresford bells, 3) Llangollen, 4) St. Winefride's Well, 5) Wrexham steeple, 6) Overton yew trees, and 7) Pistyll Rhaeadr (Wales's tallest waterfall). Wales has managed to maintain its own cultural diversity in language, holidays, music, holidays, and festivals. Approximately 80 percent of the land surface of Wales is used for agriculture. Wales is known for sheep farming, and lamb is the meat traditionally associated with Welsh cooking. Wales is home to musicians, folk music, bands, and festivals. There are also sports teams; those who wish to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of their ancestry or genealogy will do well to embrace the culture of Wales.
