Coast Wales (Pocket Wales)

Much of the variety of the Welsh coast is here portrayed by well-selected photographs from many different photographers. The distinctive colours and rugged splendour of Pembrokeshire, the charm of small coastal towns and villages and the busy modern centre of Cardiff Bay are all well-captured. Small blocks of text by Rhodri Owen concentrate on the special reserves and natural history but are less well-phrased and appealing than those of David Williams in Landscape Wales. This mini-book includes features on coastal sports such as ‘coasteering’ and surfing. Further information is referred to in the 'Useful Websites' section. It is conveniently pocket-sized, pleasant to use and provides a 'taster' and a very attractive souvenir for visitors to the Welsh coast. -- Caroline Clark @ www.gwales.com
