About two thirds of this book is devoted to a fascinating history of Wales before and after Glyndwr. This knowledge will make the journey along the Trail a more rewarding and enriching experience because you will have an affinity for the places visited. The last third of the book gives directions for walking the route, but here, as well, much of the text is providing additional contextual information. We recommend purchasing this book in addition to one of the other more practical guides which offer more detailed route finding. You will then be assured the best experience from this adventure.
