Real South Pembrokeshire

by Tony Curtis, Peter Finch (Editor)

Overview

Merging guidebook with historical account as well as lore with memoir, this volume travels to western Wales—from the coastal resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot, west to Stackpole and Barafundle, and north to Landsker, the cultural boundary between the English-speaking south and the Welsh-speaking north. As it views the area through the perspectives of both local and tourist, this account integrates personal anecdotes into the narrative of the region’s history, while also capturing South Pembrokeshire's current culture and landscape.
