Snowdonia Slate Trail (2 ed) by Aled Owen
The Snowdonia Slate Trail is a waymarked trail that makes an83-mile circuit through the heart of Snowdonia. The walking is varied, from easy valleys to mountain passes, from wild moorland to river gorges. Highlights include the National Slate Museum of Wales, stunning views of Snowdon and welcoming villages that offer a choice of accommodation.I was very impressed with the Snowdonia Slate Trail guideThe design has been very well thought out: physically it is a convenient size ... printed on rainproof paper, is spiral bound for ease of use when on the trail and the cover is slightly larger than the rest of the book and has a folded part which, when not in use as a bookmark, has a useful map key and a table showing where there are pubs, cafes, B&Bs etc along the way.
There is plenty to read about the slate industry, Snowdonia, the Great Little Trains of Wales and habitats and wildlife; these are in their own sections and sensibly kept separate from the directions of how to get from one place to another.
Aled Owen was born and raised near Bethesda, and for many years lived in a remote former quarry village in Snowdonia. He developed the Snowdonia Slate Trail with a view to enticing walkers into the quieter areas of Snowdonia and providing an economic boost to the area while bringing its unique slate heritage and landscape to a wider audience.
