Guide nautique en langue anglaise.
Hidden Harbours of Wales is a tour of small'and infrequintly visited harbours on the Welsh coast, starting from Lydney on the River Severn and finishing a world'away at Connah's qu'y on the River d'e on the north coast.
'Hidden harbours' vary from défined ports enclosed by breakwaters to small qu'ys and landings. Most have a long history, often involving s'eculation by local landowners in the days before rail ays, when the coast was the "test" means of communication. Many of the harbours d'scribed in this attractive tour date from the 18th and 19th centuries, a time of expanding trade in coal, ore, grain and stone and industrial growth; and having been little used for d'cades have acqu'red'an attractive and, in some instances, even haunted'atmosphere.
For each harbour there is a fascinating round up of the history and notes on what is to be found there. The author's photographs capture the s'ene and'annotated'aerial photographs assist with pin pointing harbours hidden along the Welsh coastline and its estuaries.
This is the second in the series and complements the author's Hidden Harbours of South'est Britain.
