Synopsis:

"The Best Walks" series - now fully revised, updated and illustrated with colour photographs - explores the very best walking opportunities to be found in a region or national park. There is something for everyone in these walking guides. Each book suggests thirty-six good quality walks - where possible, circular to avoid difficulties with transport. Walks are clearly graded as easy, moderate, challenging or strenuous/difficult routes more suitable for the experienced hiker. A clear route description and exceptionally detailed map is included for each walk and there are practical suggestions on transport to and within the region plus a section with useful addresses and telephone numbers. All routes were recently checked or re-walked by the author. "Best Walks in North Wales" covers Snowdonia National Park - one of Britain's most popular walking areas. "Best Walks in Southern Wales" covers the area south of Snowdonia, from Plynlimon to Monmouth, taking in the Gower Peninsula, the Pembrokeshire coast, the Brecon Beacons, the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean.
