Book Description
This guide is ideal for visitors who wish to explore not only the popular attractions but the less well-known places of interest and places to stay, eat and drink.
Known also as the "Red Dragon', Wales is a country blessed with some of the most dramatic landscapes in Britain. In the north lies Snowdonia, a land of awe-inspiring mountains, wild moorlands and enchanting lakes. Further south the land is abundant with deep valleys and vast forests. Wales also has a rich cultural heritage full of myths and legends founded on Celtic ancestry but has an equally strong industrial past.
