Exploring Wales

William Condry

This new edition retains Condry's original superlative prose but adds new material by Neville Jones about sites not accessible in 1970. The result is a guidebook to Wales which is both a tribute to the early pioneers of Condry's generation and also a call for a more ecological society.

Reviews

I'm delighted to see the late, great Bill Condry's book, 'Exploring Wales', being thrust into the limelight once more. Bill was an unequalled naturalist and wordsmith with an uncanny ability to describe the natural world as it unfolded around him. With this re-issue of an old classic by one of his dearest friends, his wonderfully descriptive writing will now reach a new, appreciative audience. - Iolo Williams

I dipped into this book to read about many other parts of Wales that I know less well and found much to enjoy and much food for thought. The quality of the writing is wonderful. - Mark Avery, markavery.info

Blurb

William (Bill) Condry's original 'Exploring Wales' was first published in 1970. This new edition of the classic guide book to Wales reflects Condry's superlative prose and has an introduction by his long-time friend, Neville Jones.
Bill was an environmentalist before the term became so common to us. This book is both a tribute to early pioneers of his generation and a call for a new type of society living in harmony with ecological principles. The reader will find many delights to explore in Wales, and may ponder how mankind's ravages can be caressed back to a state of gentle harmony.
