Lavishly Illustrated in the style of the travel posters of the mid 1900s and with all embracing text the book allows the reader to take in the hidden gems of the Lleyn Peninsula. This is a spectacular collection of images*showing this beautiful welsh region at its most extraordinary and unspoilt best, in a user friendly format. Historic towns, quaint fishing villages, Iron Age forts and standing stones, these captivating images will delight both tourists to the area and proud locals. The Lleyn Peninsula, the arm in the Irish Sea extends some 30 miles west from Snowdonia in North West Wales. An extraordinary landscape of beautiful fishing villages and historic towns, where ancient tracks can still to be found, the landscape enhanced by numerous white-washed farms and a patchwork of enclosed fields. No more than 8 miles wide giving easy access to the contrasting north and south coasts, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1956. Iron Age hill forts, Neolithic tombs, standing stones are all to be found and due to the remoteness of the area it has remained unspoilt. *The images used to illustrate the book have been taken from original photographs to recapture the bygone days of travel, a theme that was widely expressed in many travel posters promoting holiday destinations during the mid twentieth century.
