About This Book

The guide presents a practical, one-month route through North Wales, combining step-by-step itineraries with picturesque descriptions of mountains, lakes, waterfalls, glens, castles, abbeys, and ancient earthworks. It offers hands-on travel advice on walking, riding, inns, and local hospitality, and includes pronunciation rules and a glossary to help visitors engage with Welsh place-names. Antiquarian notes accompany views and etchings, while observations on rural life describe food, habits, and temperance among the peasantry. The tone balances sightseeing recommendations with topographical detail and directions for travelers seeking accessible panoramas and varied excursions in the region.
