Wales for Everyman - A Traveller's Guide (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Originally published in 1935, this little volume is uniform with the same author's England For Everyman, Scotland For Everyman and Ireland For Everyman, which have been so well received by the touring public. Its object is eminently practical. The description of the scenic beauties and principal antiquities of Wales is divided into twelve tours, and is adapted equally for the needs of the motorist, the traveller by motor coach, bus, or railway, the cyclist and the walker and especially of those who prefer to combine several of the available means of transport. Each tour, starting where the last left off, covers from 100 to 200 miles, and can be comfortably accomplished in three or four days by the motorist and almost as speedily by those who make use of public conveyances. A tourist who conscientiously followed out the whole series would, in the course of about 1,500 miles' travelling, see a very large proportion of the best mountain and marine scenery of Wales, all its cathedrals and nearly all its ruined castles. Throughout the volume nothing is mentioned unless it is considered to be well worth seeing, and, as a rule, the description follows the main lines of tourist traffic. Contents Include: Foreword, List of maps, Maps, How to travel, 'Everyship' on the Welsh seas, Where to stay, A brief outline of Welsh history, Glossary of Welsh place names etc, Bibliography, Tours
