The varied moods and seasons of the Welsh landscape are captured in a pictorial celebration of the countryside for all to enjoy. Visitors to Wales have long appreciated the wealth of attractive and accessible landscape to be found within the compact dimensions of this fascinating part of the United Kingdom. Imposing mountains, sheltered valleys, a dramatic coastline, glittering lakes, chuckling streams, silent forests and tidy fields give shape and character - in endlessly pleasing variety - to this enormously appealing country. The ever-changing seasons enrich the mix, each adding its own character to the scene. The freshness of woodland in spring, the haze-softened lushness of summer meadows and the 'mists and mellow fruitfulness' of autumn contrast with the clarity of distant mountains on a frosty morning, or the mesmerising power of a winter storm pounding a rocky coast. In this book, we highlight the splendours of this remarkable land. Our national parks - Snowdonia, the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire coast - contain features and environments of international importance. Elsewhere,the landscape includes farmland, undisturbed natural habitat and places where people enjoy a wide range of leisure activity, from the most relaxing to the daringly energetic.
