  Wales is a country of powerful history and striking landscape. Dramatic mountains, narrow valleys, beautiful coastlines, peaceful villages, and bustling towns all echo with the resolute identity of a nation which has survived, over the centuries, the ravages, the invasions, and the bloody battles of history. Richard Keen takes us on a fascinating journey through this beautiful and remarkable land. Steeped in a rich folklore of giants, devils, fairies, witches and ghosts, the Welsh countryside is covered with many fascinating monuments and ancient ritual sites - from neolithic burial chambers and medieval castle ramparts, to forgotten eighteenth-century gardens or the abandoned workings of a Victorian coal mine.
