There is no better way to appreciate the best of rural Walesits mountains, moors, woodlands, farmlands, sea coast, beautiful houses and gardensthan to tour the magnificent possessions of the National Trust. The variety of Trust properties in Wales is one of their most engaging qualities. On the Carneddau in Snowdonia you can walk for mile after mile on an undulating plateau at over three thousand feet, or you can make your way more gently to the top of the isolated summit of Ysgyryd Fawr, in Gwent, and enjoy the superb view. Along the coasts of Gower, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Llyn and Anglesey, all renowned as precious havens of wildlife, there are exhilarating footpaths just above the waves. And at sites such as Aberdulais Falls the visitor can enjoy the beauty and sound of falling water. For those whose particular delight are beautiful treasures and immaculate gardens, much joy and excitement await them at the five great Welsh housesPlas Newydd, Penrhyn Castle, Erddig, Chirk Castle and Powis Castleand sites such as Bodnant and Colby Woodland Garden. But no less important are the cottages, follies, dovecotes and limekilns which the Trust also look after, and all are described in this comprehensive and superbly-illustrated guide to the properties of the National Trust in Wales.
