- Your Companion in Wales
This is probably the best Rough Guide I've ever used and there have been many!
It really is all you need to find your way round this dazzling country,at least for a first visit.
Wales is surely a land of contrasts but if you make this guide your companion there should be few surprises.
As ever it is very strong on arrival,accommodation and restaurants although we did experience an unpleasant restaurant in Conwy it was for the most part extremely reliable.
The maps of town centres are invaluable and make sure you find time to read the history section before you go.
We spent a week in St Davids and a week in the Conwy valley this month and referred to this book constantly. For example it suggests you visit Bodnant Garden in late aftenoon to get the benefit of the setting sun. That tip alone is worth the price of the book.
Thank you Rough Guide.
Rating: - A very honest view of both a beautiful and deprived country.
Some parts of Wales are simply breath-taking and beautiful. The 'Land of my Fathers'. Yet Wales has been one of the poorest regions of Europe on and off for years. This book combines these opposing qualities with a truely honest account of homely, down-to-earth hospitality with scenery to kill for! Whichever town or village you decide to visit, Rough Guide to Wales is your key to a great visit!
