Powerful images take you to many inspiring locations around Wales - from climbing the spectacular mountains of Snowdonia, horse riding in the majestic Brecon Beacons and surfing on the dramatic Pembrokeshire coast to the gentler attractions of the lowlands and idyllic river valleys. These are just some of the themes celebrated by Photolibrary Wales photographers in this amazing book. Those who know Wales will be see to see familiar places in a new light - others will be inspired to discover this remarkable land's treasures for themselves. Travel and activity suggestions are given for each location so that readers man follow in the tracks of the photographers who captured these amazing scenes. There are maps and a special feature on the geology of Wales by Professor Michael Bassett, and useful details for tourist planning a visit. AUTHOR: A graduate of the University of Wales, David Williams is a writer and photographer specialising in cultural and historical matters. He wrote, and supplied images for, Landscape Wales and About Cardiff, About Wales and Village Wales and is a contributor to Photolibrary Wales. His particular interest in the history of the sea and ships takes him to spectacular locations around the world as a contributor to publications, exhibitions and television programmes having maritime themes, and as a guest speaker on cruise ships. But he is equally happy working in Wales where, as he is always quick to point out, the cultural and scenic delights are second to none. ILLUSTRATIONS 110 colour illustrations
