The AA 100 walks in Wales & The Marches.
The landscape of Wales can compete with the best in Britain. There are high jagged mountains in the north and quiet valleys. In the south the Pembrokeshire coastline juts into a foaming sea and the Brecon Beacons soar above wooded vales. To the east are The Marches, a once troubled land where powerful English overlords once tried to subdue an unwilling populance. The industrial revolution did much to shape the landscape. The southern valleys became a byword for coal mining and iron production. In the north, whole mountainsides kept England in slate roofs. Now these workings have gone and ash and rowan are returning to the valleys, the rare chough is back and the red kite can be seen above the mountain cwms. " Explore the best of Wales & The Marches.
