Author Description

West Wales is a land of contrast: lush rolling hills of the Tywi and Teifi valleys, bleak moorlands and gorse-speckled slopes of stone-crowned mountains, and rugged cliffs under ceaseless assault of the tides. Man has lived in this changing environment for at least 12,000 years and the relics left by our ancestors dwellings, fortresses, religious shrines and burial sites are as varied as the landscape itself. Paul Davis, in this beautifully illustrated book, takes both the visitor and local historian on a guided tour of this area, so rich in history.
