The Hills of Wales: Impressions, Explorations, Reflections

These hills of Wales haunt Jim Perrin for six decades, offering fresh perspectives through personal upland forays. The hills of Wales have haunted Jim Perrin for six decades. They continue to do so still, inexhaustibly, always offering new perspectives, moods and experiences. This book records forays into both famed and forgotten upland, taking in Cadair Idris and the Carneddau, Corndon Hill and the Berwyn, Pumlumon Fawr and the little hills of the Llŷn Peninsula, and so many others. There are accounts of personal explorations, journeyings and encounters, each fragment and footstep combining to form a peripatetic literary celebration. Perrin says: "As with the companion volume on Snowdon, what I want to show is the cultural distinctiveness of these hills, as well as their aesthetic dimension and their physical presence."
