In the north lies Snowdonia, a land of beautiful mountains, wild moorlands and enchanting lakes, further south the land is abundant with deep valleys and enchanting and often dramatically vast forests.

The Hidden Places of Wales writes about the scenery, history and culture of this fascinating country in an attractive narrative style. it is packed with information and colour photographs covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, drink, accomodation and places of interest as as the more enduring attractions.
