But it has a long history, much of it unnoticed. It has always carried a wide range of associations, in a myriad of areas, including manual work, philosophy, social class, landscape, political protest, cartography, poetry, religion, tourism and art. Wales is especially rich in traditions of walking - walking by its own people and by visitors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eVoices on the Path\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e takes a meandering route through this history, beginning with the footprints of Mesolithic people in the intertidal mud of the Severn estuary and ending with strollers on Swansea’s promenade today. Along the way, the reader is invited to rest and spend time with some of the most interesting walkers, including Gerald of Wales, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Francis Kilvert, George Borrow, Anne Lister, Ursula Martin, Hanna Engelkamp and Delyth Jenkins. Their individual voices enliven the narrative. The reader will also meet a host of other remarkable walkers, many of them little known, and, through the eyes of walkers, will learn much about how Welsh people lived, and how Wales was seen by people from outside.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eVoices on the Path\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e will interest anyone interested in walking, the social history of Wales (including traditions of pilgrimage, industrial labour, protest, language, tourism and recreation), and the history of literature in both Welsh and English. It is not designed as an academic book, but end-notes allow readers to follow up the printed and manuscript sources used. There will be a number of coloured photographs illustrating the text.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eVoices on the Path\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e provides an unusual perspective on the history of Wales. By refocussing our history in this way it provides a number of extremely interesting insights which might otherwise be missed or glossed over. It is well written in a clear expository style and should be of interest to both historians and the general reader.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Andrew Green\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e G\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ewasg Carreg Gwalch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEnglish \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e9781845279523\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 350\u003c\/span\u003e pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2.8 x 1.5 x 19.8 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShop more from\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Shop more from Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru | Welsh Book Council for sale online at Mostyn\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.mostyn.org\/collections\/cyngor-llyfrau-cymru-welsh-book-council\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCyngor Llyfrau Cymru | Welsh Book Council\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55549559767414,"sku":"9781845279523","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/9028\/1911\/files\/Untitled-01July2026at11.40.42_61.webp?v=1783080557","url":"https:\/\/shop.mostyn.org\/products\/voices-on-the-path","provider":"MOSTYN ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
