Something I was curious about. Wales typically gets less media attention than its Gaelic brethren Scotland and Ireland, both in fiction and in real life, even Cornwall can claim the typical pirate accent.
There are some reasons I can think of. Wales doesn't have a big blockbuster movie associated with it like Braveheart for Scotland (even though Braveheart really reflects America's view of Scotland more than Scotland proper), nor Scotland's independent streak and oil reserves. It also doesn't have as huge a diaspora as Ireland or a holiday as famous as St Patrick's, nor all the controversy that comes with Northern Ireland.
I should say Wales is a pretty common filming location for shows (e.g The Prisoner, revived Doctor Who) due to having more open wilderness than England.
Still, for famous works set in Wales, only thing I can think of is the show Torchwood. There is the national epic The Mabinogion, which inspired The Prydain Chronicles and then Disney's The Black Cauldron (er, one of their worst performing movies). The King Arthur legend has roots in Wales, though has long been associated more with the rest of England.
I acknowledge that putting this thread in War & Peace is a bit of a rough fit, but I couldn't think of where else to put it (since I mainly wanted to talk about media and not politics). History and Geography do tend to be closely linked though.
