There is a range of appearances among the Welsh with some resembling 'Iberian' people (Catherine Zeta Jones, Stanley Baker, John Rhys-Davies, Ioan Gruffudd) and others of a more north European type (Rhydian Roberts, Rhys Ifans, Catherine Jenkins). And everything in between (Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins).

The presence of dark hair and eyes among some Welsh may be due to the Silures,

an ancient tribe of south Wales. The Romans described them as resembling the people of Spain. There are large numbers of people with dark hair and light eyes as is the case in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
