Elle est organisée par la Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, fondée en 1904, et a lieu au Pays de Galles central à Llanelwedd, près de Builth Wells (Powys). La première exposition a eu lieu à Aberystwyth en 1904, puis à cause de son succès l'exposition a déménagé dans un site d'exposition permanent à Llanelwedd en 1963. Format L'exposition dure quatre jours en juillet et attire plus de 200 000 visiteurs chaque année, ce qui en fait une attraction majeure du tourisme au Pays de Galles. Elle tient aussi un festival de printemps, un week-end de la mi-avril, et depuis 1990 une foire agricole pendant un week-end de la fin du mois de novembre, dite Royal Welsh Winter Fair, consistant en des ventes aux enchères de bétail, et des expositions de produits alimentaires de tout le Royaume-Uni. Le Royal Welsh Show organise: Le jugement de conformité aux standards de sujets présentés par catégorie : bovins, moutons, chevaux (dont le fameux concours des étalons Welsh cob qui a lieu le mercredi), caprins, porcs et d'autres races d'animaux domestiques Concours de chiens de berger Concours de tonte de laine de moutons Concours de dressage équestre Concours d'attelage Fauconnerie Divers jeux et sports, défilé militaire comme le King's Troop, défilé de la Royal Horse Artillery Expositions de produits artisanaux Concerts de musique pop en plein air Expositions de machines agricoles, d'outillage et de divers produits liés à l'agriculture, etc. Il est fréquent qu'un membre de la famille royale se rende à l'exposition. Le prince Charles, qui est connu pour son soutien au monde paysan, s'y rend régulièrement. Son intervention lors de l'épidémie de fièvre aphteuse de 2001 est restée gravée dans la mémoire des paysans britanniques. Un syndicat paysan, la FUW, l'a nommé comme personnalité influente pour son soutien aux agriculteurs en 2003 et l'a annoncé pendant la tenue du Royal Welsh Show.

Royal Porthcawl Golf Club

Royal Porthcawl Golf Club is a golf club in Wales in the United Kingdom, located north of Porthcawl and bordering the Bristol Channel. The club has hosted many prestigious tournaments including The Amateur Championship on six occasions, the Walker Cup in 1995, the Curtis Cup in 1964, the British Masters in 1961, and European Tour event, the Welsh Golf Classic in the early 1980s. In March 2010, it hosted the University Golf Match between Oxford and Cambridge universities, with Oxford winning 9–6. The Senior Open Championship has been played here three times, in 2014, 2017, and 2023. History The club was founded in 1891 by a group of businessmen from Cardiff, with the first nine-hole golf course being laid out on Lock's Common by Charles Gibson the following year. In 1895, the club moved to its present location with the addition of a further nine-hole course. Shortly after that, the new course was extended to eighteen holes, with the original course later being abandoned. Royal status was conferred on the club by Edward VII in 1909. The Senior Open Championship was played at Royal Porthcawl in 2014 and Bernhard Langer won by thirteen strokes over runner-up Colin Montgomerie; it returned again in 2017, where Langer defeated Corey Pavin to win again. In 2015, The R&A championship committee chairman Peter Unsworth said that The R&A had "no intention" of hosting The Open Championship at Royal Porthcawl. He added that "We're happy with the number of courses on the rota, and we don't have any intention to go to Porthcawl". It is thought that the infrastructure around Royal Porthcawl does not meet requirements, with roads leading to the course being narrow and that public transport would not cope with the huge crowds in the Open Championships.

St Cadoc's Church, Caerleon

St Cadoc's Church is a Church in Wales church located in Caerleon, Newport, Wales and is Grade II* listed. It is one of many buildings associated with the travels of St Cadoc. Caerleon is the historically important site of the Roman legionary fortress of Isca Augusta. St Cadoc's Church stands over the principia (headquarters), where the legionary standards were kept and statues of the Roman emperors venerated. The earliest surviving part of the church dates back to just after the kingdom of Glywysing was overrun by the Normans during the twelfth century and is thought to be the work of Hywel ap Iowerth, who was also the founder of the Cistercian Llantarnam Abbey. The current church is in the Perpendicular style, which was fashionable in the fifteenth century. The tower, which stands at the southwest corner of the church, has a lower stage that was probably part of the original Norman church, incorporating twelfth/thirteenth century lancet windows. The church features a series of impressive stained-glass windows depicting the life of Christ and symbolising the faith and devotion of the saints associated with Caerleon. St Cadoc's Church has been designated as Grade II* listed since 1951, as a centrepiece of the village with a fine medieval tower.

Saltney Town F.C.

Saltney Town Football Club is a football club within the town of Saltney, on the border between England and Wales. They play in the North East Wales Division One. History The first record of a Saltney-based football club was in 1908 when they joined The Combination. The Combination was originally composed from clubs from Manchester and Liverpool and their environment. In later years, several Welsh clubs joined. One club, Northwich Victoria, earned admission to the Football League as members of The Combination. This League ran from 1890 to 1911. Saltney had a fantastic first season in the league finishing in 2nd place, Tranmere Rovers finished 3rd! After The Combination folded in 1911 they joined the Liverpool County Football Combination. In the 1919–20 season, Saltney-based side Crichton's Athletic was a founder member of Cheshire County League. In 1921, the side changed their name to Saltney Athletic. In 1923, the side finished in 6th position before leaving the Cheshire County League. The history becomes a little hazy from then until the 1974–75 season when Saltney Social became founder members of Clwyd Football League, where they played for two seasons. For the 1991–92 season, Saltney Community Centre was formed. They entered the Clwyd League system in Division 1. A great start resulted in a 3rd play finish and instant promotion to the prestigious Clwyd Premier Division. In their first effort at the Clwyd top flight they finished in a very respectable 2nd place before going one better the following year, winning the League and being duly promoted to the Welsh Alliance League. In their two seasons in the league they finished in 6th, then 11th positions before resigning from the Alliance in 1998. The current club was formed in 2010 by two friends from the Saltney area, Marc Edwards and Andrew Johnson. Both have the ultimate vision of bringing their community together through football. The club are also known by their nickname of "The Bordermen", due to where they are situated. In their debut season, the Bordermen were victorious in both the League Cup, and the prestigious Horace Wynne Cup, beating Llanuwchllyn and Castell Alun Colts in the respective finals. They also finished 3rd in their league, Welsh National Division 1.

Блайневонський металургійний завод

|стиль_картки= Блайневонський металургійний завод (англ. Blaenavon Ironworks) — колишній металургійний завод у місті Блайневон в Уельсі, Велика Британія. Працював у 1789—1902 роках. Деякий час був одним з найбільших металургійних заводів світу. 2000 року залишки заводу разом з іншими промисловими об'єктами навколо Блайневону було занесено до Списку об'єктів Світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО у Великій Британії під загальною назвою «Гірничопромисловий ландшафт Блайневона». З 1975 року об'єкт перебуває під державним захистом. Історія Залізну руду в районі Блайневона добували щонайменше з 1675 року, а можливо і раніше. Однак, територія до кінця 18 століття була майже незаселеною, тут вироблялася невелика кількість заліза. 1788 року три підприємці — Т. Хілл, Т. Хопкінс і Б. Пратт побудували у Блайневоні залізоробний завод, на основі останніх досягнень у техніці і організації виробництва. 1789 року завод мав 3 доменних печі з паровими повітродувками і був другим за продуктивністю заводом в Уельсі і одним з найбільших у світі. Вважається, що це був перший в світі (або, принаймні, у Великій Британії) металургії завод, де було побудовано відразу 3 доменних печі, розташованих одна поряд з іншою. До того будували лише 1 доменну піч для кожної залізоробної мануфактури. До 1796 року продуктивність заводу становила 5400 т заліза на рік. 1812 року на заводі було 5 доменних печей, що виплавляли 14000 т чавуну на рік. 1817 року на північ від заводу було побудовано гамарню Garn-Ddyrys Forge, де виплавлений на доменних печах чавун переплавляли на ковке залізо. Біля заводу з'явилася велика кількість рудних і кам'яновугільних шахт, побудованих Блайневонською компанією (Blaenavon Company), перетвореною 1836 року на акціонерне товариство. Міграція населення з інших регіонів Уельсу, центральної Англії, Ірландії і Шотландії призвела до зростання населення у новому поселенні біля заводу і шахт. 1860 року Blaenavon Company побудувала на південь від Блайневону новий сталеливарний завод, навколо якого виникло нове поселення під назвою Форджсайд. Будівництво нового заводу у Форджсайд спричинило поступовий занепад заводу у Блайневоні. 1878 року на Блайневонському металургійному заводі британський винахідник Сідні Джілкріст Томас разом зі своїм двоюрідним братом Персі Джілкрістом вперше у промислових масштабах провів виплавку сталі з фосфористих чавунів за своїм способом, який згодом отримав назву «томасівський процес». Завод було закрито 1902 року. Максимальна кількість доменних печей на ньому доходила до 6. Після закриття заводу, його територія протягом десятиліть була занехаяна. Багато цегляних будівель заводу, в тому числі і частина доменних печей, були розібрані для використання цегли у інших місцях. З 1975 року територія заводу перебуває під охороною держави як історична пам'ятка. 2000 року завод разом з іншими колишніми промисловими об'єктами навколо Блайневону було занесено у Список світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО. Опис На території заводу залишилося 3 з 6 доменних печей. Збереглися також 2 ливарних двори та водонапірна баша, інші об'єкти інфраструктури і обладнання. Посилання 51°46′37″ пн. ш. 3°5′21″ зх. д.

Scolton Manor

Scolton Manor is a Victorian country house and country park located in Pembrokeshire, West Wales northeast of Haverfordwest and on the borders of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Built as a home, it is now a museum and is a Grade II* listed building. The stable court, some 120 m (130 yd) to the north, is also a Grade II listed building and both are owned by Pembrokeshire County Council. The gardens and parkland are listed on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The house, grounds and a number of exhibits are open to the public. History Designed by local architects William and James Owen, Scolton Manor was built in 1840 and occupied from 1842 by the Higgon family. The house replaced a former building owned by the same family, which had burned down in the mid-eighteenth century. Prominent amongst Pembrokeshire society, three Higgon family members held the position of High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire, including the last resident, Lt Col John Henry Victor Higgon (1902–1987). It is a country house built in a neo-classical style, with unpainted stucco, with a slated, hipped roofs and flat overhanging eaves. Taken over by Pembrokeshire County Council, the grounds have become a country park and the house has been restored. Both are open to the public. Scolton Manor is home to Pembrokeshire's County Museum Service. Exhibitions House and outbuildings The exhibition hall displays the broad-ranging history of Pembrokeshire including natural history, geology, employment and trade, life during World War II and the Gwalia stores. The David Burton-Richardson Collection and Archive of paintings, drawings and artefacts relating to the artist's life is housed at Scolton Manor Museum. "From Now to Zero", a retrospective exhibition of David Burton-Richardson's works was held in 2005. The outbuildings display collections reflecting Pembrokeshire country life, including stables and carriages, the traditional skills of carpenter and blacksmith, the relationship between the poacher and gamekeeper and a Gulbenkian-nominated VARDA gypsy caravan. Grounds The grounds include a Victorian walled garden, the Pembrokeshire Beekeeping Centre, opened in July 2014 at the same time as the inauguration of the walled garden, a pineapple house, which in 2018 produced what is believed to be the first pineapple grown in Wales for over 100 years and Margaret, a Fox Walker & Co 0-6-0 locomotive supplied to the Maenclochog and Rosebush railway in 1878. The gardens and parkland are designated Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
