Traditional Welsh

clothing was worn by

rural women in Wales.
Many of the English
visitors who toured
Wales in the late 18th
and early 19th
centuries identified it
as different from that
worn by rural women
in England

. Dishes such as cawl,

Welsh rarebit,
laverbread, Welsh
cakes, bara brith (lit.
"speckled bread"), or
the Glamorgan
sausage have been
seen as symbols of
Welsh food.

The centrepiece of the

Welsh national flag,
the ddraig goch
personifies the
fearlessness of the
Welsh nation.
