Résumé:

"This authoritative guide to the south-west corner of Wales by three local experts encompasses a wide sweep of history, from the rugged prehistoric remains which stud the distinctive windswept landscape overlooking the Atlantic, to distinguished recent buildings which respond imaginatively to their natural setting. The comprehensive gazetteer encompasses the great cathedral of St. David's and its Bishop's Palace, the numerous churches and the magnificent Norman castles which reflect the turbulent medieval past. It gives attention also to the lesser known delights of Welsh chapels - both simple rural and sophisticated Victorian examples - in all their wayward variety, and provides detailed accounts of a rewarding range of towns, which include the county town, Haverfordwest, the attractively unspoilt Regency resort of Tenby, and Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock, with their important naval history. An introduction with valuable specialist contributions sets the buildings in context."--Jacket.
