Description

Geoffrey Grigson’s 1951 guide provides a detailed survey of the rugged landscapes and borderlands spanning North Wales and the Marches. Commissioned for the Festival of Britain, the text follows a series of specific motoring itineraries. Grigson documents the dramatic geological formations of Snowdonia, the historic castles of the coastline, and the quiet river valleys of the interior. Accompanying photographs and maps illustrate the region’s physical character, from slate quarries to ancient market towns.
