Reviews

A lively, informed, authoritative and entertaining account of what Wales has to offer native and newcomer alike. [...]A clear, polished and informative text that manages to balance detail with a broader sweep at almost every bend in the road.
*PLANET*

David Barnes...is knowledgeable, nicely ironic and wholly committed to introducing the reader to the charms of Wales, including some of the lesser but no less interesting places[...] This is a book that ought to be in the glove compartment of every Welsh patriot's car.
*CAMBRIA*

The author's personality is strongly felt throughout and as such fulfils the aims set out by the Companion guides, which intend their authors to communicate both their 'knowledge and affection' for a place they know intimately. This book communicates both with ease. WWW.GWALES.COM [with the permission of the Welsh Books Council]
