Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

A richly-illustrated full colour volume, with explanatory text, which takes readers on a journey around 100 of the most remarkable scenic locations in Wales. We learn why Penrhyn Quarry is one of the most astonishing places in north Wales and why Dan yr Ogof caves are regarded as the entranceway to the underworld, that timeless place which is, with the exception of the most venturesome cavers, well beyond the reach of the majority of people. We discover hidden stories in one or two places and read more about the fascinating geology and geography of Wales. In this the Wales Year of Legends, the author recalls tales such as ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ from the Mabinogion, when Culhwch, with the aid of Arthur and his knights, was required to do battle with Twrch Trwyth, the wild boar, on the Presely Hills. The Welsh version of this book was short-listed for the 2015 Wales Book of the Year.
