A lovely little book of the author's photographs in and around the Rhinogydd mountains of the Meirionnydd area of Gwynedd, North Wales, along with her descriptions of walks she's made.
The chapters focus on Neolithic sites, the history of the cattle drovers, some of whom emigrated to the USA in the 19th century to become cowboys, gold and slate mines, and lakes and rivers.

Bookwomble I'm inspired to explore the area, but it's a 3-hour drive for me to get there, and the standard of many of the walks may be a bit arduous for me, but still something to dream about 😌💭🏞️ 3w

Our last full day in Anglesey, and I picked up a few little books and a couple of bookmarks (negligently, only one shown in the photo).
I spent the other night updating the Library Thing entries for Anglesey's independent new and used bookshops, which sadly entailed marking them all as defunct 🫤 Obviously, there are books to be had on the island, but they are touristy & small charity shop fare. But for beautiful scenery and nature, it's lovely 😌
