Walking Wales: The Art lover's Guide to Wye Valley Way
Walking Wales: The Art lover's Guide to Wye Valley Way
The Wye Valley Way is 136 miles long, stretching from Chepstow near the Welsh borders in the south,up through Ross on Wye, Monmouth, straying into England and Herefordshire, then back up through Rhayader, Llangurig to the source of the River Wye at Plynlimon.
Walking Wales: The Art Lover's Guide to Wye Valley Way is based on the author's 15-day trek, staying overnight in B&B accommodation which is featured in the book. Basically, two old ladies tramping through the countryside, as Jacqueline says, "and life's too short to camp!"
Although it takes you along the route in some detail, it is clearly not the book you drag around with you on the walk itself! There is an excellent detailed route guide already available that is a must, and you can have an official “Passport” stamped along the way to prove you did it.
The focus is on the special landmarks and scenery that artists have loved for centuries, making sure you do not miss any of them. Even better, there are around 40 images of old paintings from the 18th to the 20th century, all part of National Library of Wales collections, alongside the more recent photographs.
So, find out what the route is, how to train and plan for your trek, and what to expect once you get started. It is a challenge, but Jacqueline and Jenni seem to be doing fine as they reach the end of the trail! Now is a good time to be planning a long-distance walk for 2021 we think.
Attractive square presentation, full colour images throughout, latest version as spiral bound, 116 pages.

There is a new 2-part book coming later in 2020 - A Meander Through Wales.
Fancy travelling around and exploring but by public transport instead of the car? These new titles will take you meandering around South Wales and around North Wales by bus, train, steam train, and on foot.
So much more to see as you trundle through small villages and along narrow coastal lanes by service bus.
