Culture Wales has a distinctive culture including its own language, customs, holidays and music. Wales is primarily represented by the symbol of the red Welsh Dragon, but other national emblems include the leek and daffodil. The Welsh words for leeks ( cennin ) and daffodils ( cennin Pedr , lit. "(Saint) Peter's Leeks") are closely related and it is likely that one of the symbols came to be used due to a misunderstanding for the other one, though it is less clear which came first. In June 2008, Wales made history by becoming the first nation in the world to be awarded Fairtrade Status.

By the second half of the 19th century, mining and metallury had come to dominate the Welsh economy, transforming the landscape and society in the industrial districts of south and north-east Wales .

F L A G Flag of Wales is the image of a red dragon on a white and green background. The legislation passed in 1959, although the red dragon was the symbol of Wales since the dawn (from the popular belief, Roman) times. In the Middle Ages (with the Tudor dynasty), white and green colors are also associated with Wales. This is the only one of the flags of the United Kingdom, not included in its flag, which caused some criticism.

Languages The Welsh Language Act 1993 and the Government of Wales Act 1998 provide that the Welsh and English languages be treated on a basis of equality. However, even English has only de facto official status in the UK (see Languages of the United Kingdom) and this has led political groups like Plaid Cymru to question whether such legislation is sufficient to ensure the survival of the Welsh language.
