Regular price £3.75Perhaps the most unspoilt major river in Britain, the Wye flows through breathtaking scenery rich in both Welsh and English history. From its source at Plynlimon in the land of the Mabinogion and Owain Glyndwr, down to the Bristol Channel 130 miles below, the river passes many evocative and famous sites such as Symonds Hat, Kilvert country and Tintern Abbey.
In this book, a mine of fascinating and unusual information, Richard Sale looks at all aspects of the Wye with a fine eye for 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.
