- Although Welsh is officially the first language, it is highly unlikely you’ll come across locals who don’t speak English
- Don’t refer to the people of Wales as English, as some see this as offensive
- If you plan on renting a car, be careful on the country lanes, as they tend to be very narrow and are sometimes blocked by cattle
- Take waterproof clothing with you even in the summer, as rainstorms are a common occurrence
