The rural scenery in Britain is the most charming. Everything described in novels appears in reality, which is probably the most fascinating aspect of this place. So when you go to the UK, you must visit Wales at least once, because Wales has the castles that no tourist should miss.
The hundreds of castles in Wales always remind people of the chivalry of the past. Facing the coastline and looking back at the grandeur of the castles, one’s heart surges with excitement. It’s no wonder that Wales has become the legendary land of all kinds of princesses, princes, wizards and dragons. Among them, Carreg Cennen is a castle located in Wales and built in the 13th century. It stands on the top of a 100-meter-high cliff and has a unique geographical location. Surrounded by lush rural scenery, Black Mountains and the Sanai River.
Standing in the midst of it is an encounter with tranquility. Here, far from the hustle and bustle and the hustle and bustle, only feng shui, the waves and water, and the sound of one’s own heartbeat and breathing remain. This is a place suitable for being with oneself and listening to oneself. Compared with the ancient castle, what is equally pleasing to the eye are the lush green fields and mountains all around. Such a pastoral style and ancient castle remind one of Middle-earth in “The Lord of the Rings”, mysterious yet with a touch of leisure.
The beauty of the British countryside and fields is vividly displayed here. Perhaps it is this kind of Britain that has given birth to the unique serenity and understanding of the trivialities of life in British literature. Here, while gazing into the past, one may also forget the mundane world of the present.
In Wales, it’s not just about visiting castles. If you can stay in an estate from hundreds of years ago, it would be just like stepping out of a movie. This time in Wales, I stayed at the Llangoed Hall hotel. The beautiful one is located in a 17-acre garden in the picturesque Wye Valley. Yes, it has existed since 1632. This is probably the oldest hotel I have ever stayed at. Every step can tell a distant story.
This is the ancient British side. The British style instantly overcomes. Inside the ancient walls, there are modern decorations with British charm. Just like the living environment of all ancient European buildings, there are a wide variety of oil paintings inside, adding artistic luster to the entire house. Living there not only offers visual enjoyment but also spiritual refinement.
All the stories emanate from every detail, and the differences across different countries arise from this. It’s like the personalities of different people. In Wales, in this hotel with a long history, it seems as if time has stopped and we have returned to the past.
Of course, there are other beauties in the UK, but if one can experience such scenery once, the British charm will be even more evident.
