Synopsis

About Wales is packed with information about places to visit, festivals, events, historic sites, castles, museums and galleries throughout Wales. Visit Victorian Llandudno, or a mine in Rhondda, or watch the Welsh battle it out with the English armies of Edward I at Chepstow Castle, or take part in the World Bog Snorkelling Championships in mid Wales. About Wales is packed with great ideas for everyone to see and do in this wonderfully diverse country. This new travel guide is a fabulous source book of cultural events, festivals and heritage attractions. It features over 250 castles, historic sites, museums, galleries, festivals and events. To help you plan your trip, the book is organised in four sections: south, mid, west and north Wales, with large area maps and lots of photographs to accompany the text. David Williams the author describes each event and attraction in great detail. He includes directions on how to get there, what else there is in the area - to see and do and useful addresses, phone numbers and web sites for you to check on the latest events. Need somewhere to stay: a friendly B&B, a cosy farmhouse, a stylish country house hotel, a self catering cottage, or a gastro pub. We've listed local TIC's (Tourist Information Offices) around Wales, with phone numbers and website addresses. They can give you local advice on where to stay and eat and the very latest details about events in the area. We've also included our recommendations on where to stay and eat in Wales by Colin Pressdee, author of our best selling book 'Food Wales'. About Wales is an inspiration - it helps you plan your visit and stay in and around Wales a lot easier - and it makes it a much more enjoyable adventure. It also makes a great gift for those who'd like to know more about Wales - and to find what they're missing out on.

Review:

From my look through the book, he [David Williams] knows his way round a camera, too. They're the kind of photographs that really make you want to get out there and be joining in whatever's going on. --Mike Gerrard - UK/Ireland Travel
