Product Description

Product Description

From the seaside resort of Llandudno to Cardiff's awesome Millennium Stadium, the Rough Guide to Wales tells you all there is to know about this beautiful and varied country. The 24-page, full-colour section introduces all of Wales' highlights, from the world-famous Valleys and Welsh male voice choirs to the trendy bars of Cardiff Bay and the suprisingly tasteful delight of Welsh Laverbread. In addition, there are two, brand-new, 4-page, full-colour inserts: 'Literary Wales' and 'The Battle for Wales'. The guide includes hundreds of listings of the all the top places to eat, drink and stay, whatever your budget, plus brand-new 'author picks' to highlight the very best. There is plenty of practical advice on outdoor pursuits, including some of the best mountain and coastal walks, and activities from surfing on the Gower to rock-climbing in Snowdonia. The guide takes a detailed look at Wales' history and culture, from the Celts and druids to modern post-devolution politics. The guide comes complete with maps and plans for every region.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Companion in Wales, 19 Sep 2006
By Mrs. Avril W. Ashworth "wendyash" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is probably the best Rough Guide I've ever used and there have been many!

It really is all you need to find your way round this dazzling country,at least for a first visit.
Wales is surely a land of contrasts but if you make this guide your companion there should be few surprises.
As ever it is very strong on arrival,accommodation and restaurants although we did experience an unpleasant restaurant in Conwy it was for the most part extremely reliable.

The maps of town centres are invaluable and make sure you find time to read the history section before you go.

We spent a week in St Davids and a week in the Conwy valley this month and referred to this book constantly. For example it suggests you visit Bodnant Garden in late aftenoon to get the benefit of the setting sun. That tip alone is worth the price of the book.
Thank you Rough Guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very honest view of both a beautiful and deprived country., 27 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Wales (Paperback)
Some parts of Wales are simply breath-taking and beautiful. The 'Land of my Fathers'. Yet Wales has been one of the poorest regions of Europe on and off for years. This book combines these opposing qualities with a truely honest account of homely, down-to-earth hospitality with scenery to kill for! Whichever town or village you decide to visit, Rough Guide to Wales is your key to a great visit!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rough Guide to Wales, 24 April 2009
By R. C. Davies (Nice, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Rough Guide to Wales (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
An excellent guide.
Very comprehensive coverage. As with all other Rough Guides I have used, this one packs an astounding amount of information into its 570 pages. It is well structured and indexed and easy to use on-the-move. It is, in my opinion, well illustrated, that is to say not over-illustrated at the expense of information. Those seeking a glossy travel guide may be disappointed by the Rough Guide approach which is to provide a set of appetite-whetter photos in the "Introduction" and "Things not to miss" sections at the front, but for the main body of the guide, illustrations consist primarily of such things as clear town plans and detailed local area maps, with a relatively small number of mainly black-and-white photos. But if it's practical information you want, from clear descriptions of the countless recommended places to visit, historical and cultural references, contextual notes, opening times and tariffs, walks, hiking trails, transport, accommodation, eating, drinking and entertainment, and a myriad things to look out for, to see and to do, this is THE guide to Wales.
