It's actually in England, although funnily enough the part of England it's in is called Cumbria, which has the same origin as the Welsh for Wales "Cymru". So it's sort of in Wales, just not the Wales that we call Wales in English.

That one takes the cake! How does that happen? Is there welsh, saxon and latin in there or something?
