In the far north-east corner of Wales, a line of hills looks east across the plain into England, guarding the way towards Snowdonia. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Clwydian Range has a very rich archaeology. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of this landscape: a history of Wales in microcosm.
The Clwydian Range is a crossroads, a place where outside influences have always been profound. We learn of the mammoth bones left in the area's caves by Paleaeolithic hunters; of the great chain of Iron Age hillforts that crown the Range; of the bronze brooches in Romano-British burials; and from the medieval period, of motte and bailey castles and Gothic churches. The Industrial Revolution left its mark, and Gerard Manley Hopkins found inspiration here. Throughout, the photographs capture the spirit of his original 'landscape plotted and pieced'.
