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.
