Where would you find...? - Wales edition

Our Where Would You Find...? series returns, this time focusing on the beautiful land of dragons. Wales holds a dear place in my heart, a stunning collection of landscapes, coasts, mountains and history come together to make some of the most gorgeous places on these isles. But how well do you know them? We will start fairly soft, with 10 major landmarks around Wales for you to correctly identify "where would you find" them!

Where would you find it?
