To appreciate Wales, a “sense of place” is a necessity—and this includes knowing the stories of the land. This guidebook links particular places to tales of King Arthur, Merlin, shape-shifting Cerridwen with her cauldron, and to other stories in the Welsh medieval epic, the Mabinogi.
Learn the hidden meanings of Wales’ megalithic sites and holy wells. Visit its sacred mountains, ruined abbeys, and medieval chapels perched on isolated hilltops. Detailed descriptions of these powerful places, including how to get there and what to do when you arrive, are provided. Numerous maps, graphics, and photos bring the locations to life. The guidebook includes a pronunciation guide, glossary, bibliography, and index.
