This book explains to the hillwalker, in easy to understand but
accurate terms, how geology has shaped the landscape of South
Wales. A selection of 16 guided walks is used to illustrate this in
terms of what can be seen on the ground. The hills, valleys and
coasts of South Wales are some of Britain's most celebrated and
iconic landscapes. The coasts of Gower and Pembroke, and the
shapely peaks of the Brecon Beacons are especially popular. These
varied landscapes reflect a highly diverse geology. From the
rolling hills of Mid and West Wales, the spectacular heights of the
Brecon Beacons, the rocky outcrops of Fforest Fawr and Mynydd Du,
the valleys and moors of 'the coalfield', to the delightful scenery
of the southern and western coasts - each has its own fascinating
geological story to tell. This book is for the walker who sets out
among these hills and coasts and who wants to learn a bit more
about the forces that forged this landscape. The first part is an
account of the geological history of South Wales, while the second
contains 16 walks where you can see evidence of the geology, along
with some of the most outstanding scenery of the region. The author
has concentrated on what you can see as you walk around the hills,
pointing to conspicuous, easily seen features in rocks and the
overall shape of the terrain in accounting for the present day
landscape.Also in this Rock Trails series by Paul Gannon are
Lakeland, Peak District, Scottish Highlands and Snowdonia.
