Robert Harris has compiled a selection of fascinating walks throughout Wales which not only visit the sites & monuments left by our ancestors, but pass through some of the most spectacular scenery of the Welsh countryside. He has divided Ancient Wales into three specific areas
- Anglesey, North Wales, & South Wales. Dating from the Neolithic & Bronze ages, stone circles, standing stones & burial chambers can still be found scattered throughout these beautiful areas. The majority of the walks are circular ranging in length from 4 to 10 miles. There is the opportunity not only to enjoy the peace & quiet of the valleys, the country lanes & footpaths, around modern farms & villages, but also to climb high into the still wild & remote mountains. Many of the walks link ancient paths & tracks where you can learn & understand more about the distant lives & customs of our ancient ancestors. Each walk has a unique focus, is both interesting & challenging, & invites the walker to visit both famous & less well-known sites & monuments. The author offers his own theories about the purpose & sitting of many of these ancient monuments, engaging the reader in a fascinating journey of discovery. There are sketch maps to guide you, & the author brings the text to life with his intricate h&-drawn sketches & detailed descriptions of the wonderful scenery & wildlife. A glossary of historical terms & Welsh place names completes an exceptionally comprehensive coverage of Walks in Ancient Wales.
