Snowdonia: The Official National Park Guide [ISBN: 1 898630 13 5]

Snowdonia National Park is situated in the north-west of Wales and contains some of the most spectacular scenery in southern Britain.  The mountains seem to rise dramatically straight out of the sea so that the coastline contributes to the dazzling spectacle.  This proximity results in a huge variety of scenery, bare summits, plummeting waterfalls, wood clad valleys and sandy beaches all exist within a few miles of each other.

The landscape is also resplendent with the history of the area.  Human influence has built up through time, from mounds and barrows of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages , though circular forts of the Iron Age, the linearity of Romans to the imperious castles to the Anglo-Normons in the Middle Ages.

This book details the geology and scenery, climate, vegetation and wildlife, man's influence: prehistory and history, myths and customs and explores the Park giving useful information on recreational opportunities and places of interest. The colour photographs are by Jeremy Moore.
