BLACK’S PICTURESQUE GUIDE
THROUGH
NORTH AND SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE.
WITH EXCELLENT TRAVELLING MAPS,
A Copious Itinerary, a Full Description of every Remarkable Place, a Notice of
all the Best Hotels and Inns, and a Comprehensive General Index.
Illustrated by Maps, Charts, and Views of Scenery.
In the natural aspect of this country,—its mountains and hills, its valleys and
glens, its lakes and rivers,—are exhibited scenes of beauty and of grandeur, which
in few regions can be surpassed; while these are, for the most part, associated
with historical events and traditionary legends of more than ordinary interest,
and with the mouldering monuments of past ages, scarcely less striking than the
splendid and romantic scenery.
The inhabitants, too, are still a distinct and very remarkable people; speak¬
ing the language of their remote ancestors; retaining much that is peculiar in
physical appearance, and in prevailing customs; and cherishing ardent attach¬
ment to their native soil, and to the memory of their princes, bards, and warriors.
It is not, therefore, surprising that to travellers of almost every diversity of
taste and pursuit, the Principality of Wales presents objects of peculiar and varied
interest.
In a Separate Volume, Price 3s. 6d.
