Book synopsis

Powerful Places in Wales is not your usual guidebook. It is not about visiting places, it's about experiencing them. Wales doesn't reveal itself easily, and not to the casual visitor. But when it does open itself to you, you will be amazed at its wonders. 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. We have included GPS headers to help you locate sites that are difficult to find, as well as QR codes for ease of accessing relevant websites. If you are intrigued by the unusual; if you long to connect more deeply with the places you visit; if you have a nagging feeling that there's more to some places than meets the eye-this is the travel guide for you.
