Wales - stereotypes, accent, scenery

Like any other place in the UK, Wales has it urban and rural areas around the country with beaches, mountains and an endless country side.
The towns in Wales however, are still quite old fashioned for example,, lots of cobbled streets and coloured low buildings.




One example I found about Welsh stereotypes is that "they're all woodsmen with big bushy beards: think in-shape Unix gurus." Also "small dark haired people who play all rugby, sing in choirs, herd sheep or mine coal and speak a strange language" a thing that kept creeping up was the association with sheep and rugby, two very different things but what I saw on the internet was that people normally associate Welsh people with sheep and rugby.
