Motor Tours in Wales & the Border Counties

A vivid early‑twentieth‑century travelogue takes listeners on a motor‑car adventure through Wales and the English borderlands. With the author’s keen eye for detail and a wealth of period photographs, each stop feels like opening a new window onto stone‑crowned hills, quiet river valleys and bustling market towns. The accompanying maps guide the imagination, letting you trace the route as the engine purrs beneath the scenery.

The narrative blends personal reflection with rich historical snippets, from the medieval strength of Ludlow Castle to the timbered charm of the Feathers Hotel. Along the way, the author captures the simple pleasure of the open road—sandwiches at a wayside, the play of light on the Teme, and the hiss of steam as a train whistles in the distance. A handful of anecdotes about local legends and the rugged Marches give depth without overwhelming the journey.

Ideal for listeners who love wandering through crumbling abbeys, winding coastal paths and the lively folklore that stitches these landscapes together, the book feels like a gentle yet scholarly companion for any modern explorer.
