John Cantrell is retired and lives in Snowdonia. He took to the outdoors at an early age and has skiied, walked and climbed all over Europe. His first guide was a history of Sarn Helen, bringing new interest to the roman roads of Wales. This is the second edition of his successful Lleyn Peninsula guide, which covers some of his favourite local walking and cycling routes.
'This is the second edition of this handy pocket guide, stuffed full of details for following the route described. There are sketch maps, OS maps and even some photos with routes drawn on them.The north coastal path largely follows the old pilgrimage route to Bardsey Island off the end of the peninsula. This gives interesting routes to follow and interesting churches and ruins to investigate on the way.This is a treasure of an area, of which the Dublin walker may take easy advantage.'(Irish Mountain Log / Summer 2007)
