Through Borrow's Wild Wales - Aylwin Bowen 1948 (Preloved)

Part literary tribute and part practical walking companion, Through Borrow's Wild Wales re-invents George Borrow’s famous 1854 journey for the post-war rambler.

Nearly a century after George Borrow traversed the valleys and peaks of Wales, writer and outdoor enthusiast Aylwin Bowen sets out to trace the Victorian traveler's legendary footsteps. Pocket-sized and designed for the active hiker, this charming guide pairs Borrow’s original observations with mid-20th-century field notes, route directions, and local commentary.

Illustrated with charming line drawings and detailed route maps, Bowen highlights how the landscapes, inns, and ancient monuments immortalized in Wild Wales have endured—or transformed—over the decades. Whether read as a nostalgic slice of British travel history or used as an inspiring roadmap for modern exploration, Bowen’s guide is a warm, delightfully detailed tribute to the enduring spirit of Welsh rambles.
