St David's Cathedral is situated on the western point of Wales, the most westerly place in the British Isles. The Monastic Community was founded by David, Abbot of Menevia, who died in AD 589. The Cathedral is not just about a building – it is a community that fourteen hundred years later, David would recognise. The ‘opus dei’ – the Daily rounds of worship continue, with at least three services said or sung per day. The Cathedral Choirs at St Davids are unique in more ways than one – firstly, and for mostly they were the first Cathedral Choir in the United Kingdom to use Girls and Men as the main choir.

The Millennium Stadium is the national stadium of Wales, located in the capital Cardiff. It is used primarily for rugby union and football home internationals. At the time of its construction it was the largest stadium in the United Kingdom with a capacity of 74,500. The stadium was built by John Laing plc in 1999 on the site of the old National Stadium, in Cardiff Arms Park. It was built for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, for which Wales was the main host. It was home to seven of the 41 matches, including the final. It features a retractable roof to protect the playing surface from the elements.

The Brecon Beacons are a mountain range located in the south-east. They form the central section of the Brecon Beacons National Park, one of Wales' three National Parks. The round of the Taf Fechan skyline forms a popular ridge walk known as the 'Beacons Horseshoe'. Many other fine walks exist in this part of the National Park but the mountains are well known for swift changes in weather conditions, even in summer. In winter they are dangerous for anyone. The Brecon Beacons are so named after ancient practice of lighting signal fires (beacons) on the mountains to warn of attacks.

Beaumaris Castle was built as part of Edward I's campaign to conquer North Wales. It was designed by James of St. George and was begun in 1295, but never completed. Beaumaris has been designated as a World Heritage site, and is regarded by some to be the most architecturally perfect castle in Britain. Beaumaris castle was positioned to face Garth Celyn on the opposite shore of the Menai Strait and was intended, along with Conwy castle and Caernarfon castle at either end of the Menai Strait, to overshadow the Welsh royal home and centre of resistance to the English forces.
