Walks in the Wye Valley Perhaps the most unspoilt major river in Britain, the Wye flows through breathtaking scenery rich in both Welsh and English history. From the source at Plynlimon in the land of the Mabinogion and Owain Glyndwe down to the Bristol Channel 130 miles below, the river passes amny evocative and famous sites - Symonds Yat, Kilvert country, Tintern Abbey - and conjures up vivid memories of old crafts and industries, the Civil War and the nineteenth-century Wye Tourers in search of the 'picturesque'. In this book, a mine of fascinating and unusual information, Richard Sale looks at all aspects of the Wye with a fine eye for the amusing detail. He tells of the striking architecture and lively anecdotes of even the smallest villages, the famous towns, the geology, history and legend. He also shows us how to discover the Wye for ourselves, by using the Wye Valley Walk and the Offa's Dyke National Trail. ISBN: 0-86381-555-3 Our Price: £2.25 ORDERING SUSPENDED - Try again later
