There are three National Parks in Wales covering an area of 4122 sq km. This represents approximately 20% of the land area of Wales. Snowdonia was designated in 1951 followed by Pembrokeshire Coast in 1952 and Brecon Beacons in 1957.

Some sharks do exist off the Welsh coast, but as a rule they are harmless and not dangerous to humans.

The most common sort is the Basking Shark, a plankton-feeder that has no interest in people, and the Porbeagle Shark, which although predatory upon smaller fish, is not dangerous. There have been rare occasions when dangerous sharks HAVE appeared off Wales and attacked swimmers and scuba-divers, but this is extremely unusual- in such cases, the fish concerned have usually been small packs of Tiger Sharks that have strayed into Northern waters and the events are so rare that when they occur, they usually make the news.

In general, the waters off Wales are much too cold for the more dangerous type of shark to inhabit. A juvenile Great White got stuck in Cardigan Island Sound in the Summer of 1976 and had to be rescued, but the Summer of '76 was abnormally hot and may have served to warm the seas around the British Isles to such an extent that fish used to warmer waters may have been tempted to stray Northwards in search of food- barracuda and marlin were also reported to have been seen around the British Isles at the same time, which is almost unheared of.

Obviously, there's Saint Davids Day, which is celebrated on the 1st of March. Other than that, everything is the same as England.

The leek had been recognised as the emblem of Wales since the middle of the 16th century. Its association with Wales can in fact be traced back to the battle of Heathfield in 633 AD, when St. David persuaded his countrymen to distinguish themselves from their Saxon foes by wearing a leek in their caps.

Wales does not have a "Parliament". Is has a devolved assembly called "The Welsh Government". It sits in a building called "The Senedd" which is located in Cardiff Bay. It was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour architects and officially opened in 1999.

But as of June 2017 the Welsh Assembly now has the right to call itself a Parliament, under the terms of The Wales Act which came into force after The Queen's Speech to the House of Commons. The Wales Act extends and increases the amount of power the devolved Welsh Government has, although this was largely ignored by and not covered by the UK-wide media, who have an anti-Welsh bias.

Largest in height is Snowdonia in North Wales, the highest mountain, Snowdon, is 1085m above sea level. If you're talking about length, its the Cambrian Mountains. They stretch for 65 miles north to south along the middle of Wales, but the highest peak is only 752 meters.
