Compact Wales: Day Walks from the Slate Trail of Snowdonia

More about the book

'The Slate Trail' of Snowdonia is a 85 mile long path and this guide highlights day walks that can be undertaken from it. These walks are all slate themed and explore the area in greater detail. All the walks follow rights of way on paths, tracks or roads. Many of the walks are away from the 'honey pots' of Snowdonia and meeting other people is a rare occurrence. In the near future, the slate areas of north Wales may well become a UNESCO World Heritage area. Walking the paths, we can appreciate the variety of technology and craft, organisation, social and environmental impacts of the slate industry in these mountain communities, which once dominated world slate production.
