A fascinating voyage of discovery through Pembrokeshire locations frequented by pirates, amugglers, wreckers and others who have exploited the coastline over the centuries. Ieuan Morris' stunning images showcase on of the UK's most beautiful counties.
People have been relocating to Pembrokeshire from all over the globe since the twelfth century. Morris discusses notorious events from the county's past and looks at the linguistic and cultural differences that exist across the "Landsker Line", which divides the Welsh-speaking north from "Little England beyond Wales" in the south. As well as showing off the natural beauty the county is famous for, he considers the impact of migration, tourism and industrial pollution. The book documents in photographic form this glorious county as it is today and raises questions about its future. Can Pembrokeshire survive as we know it? An intriguing insight into on of the most popular tourist regions in Wales.
