Wales is the country with the highest density of castles. Nowhere else in the world are there more of these historical monuments per square kilometer than in the land of the dragon. But it's not just the four fortresses from the time of King Edward I; the ancient hill landscapes with their majestic mountains that drop into wide river valleys, the enchanting forests, and the long coastline with spectacular rock formations also make North Wales an absolute paradise for hikers. Author Christina Schneider invites readers to explore the various facets of northern Wales with this hiking guide. She takes them along the Wales Coast Path, the longest continuous coastal path in the world. Together, they climb Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, and hike in the footsteps of King Arthur around the UNESCO World Heritage-listed castles in Harlech.
