I just got back from a trip to Wales. I had this book and Lonely Planet. This book had much more information, good maps and even good cultural and historical background. And it still fit in the back pocket of my jeans! It directed me to the Black Boy pub in Caernarfon - in business since 1533, so they say - and the Farmer's Arms in St. Davids and it was worth it for that alone. I particularly like the neolithic sites on Anglesey and this book directed me to some very interesting tombs, dolmens, stone circles, etc.
I searched and searched for a good travelers guide to Wales. this is the best I found. I did utilize the wales visitors bureau for more options in accomodations, but if your doing a driving tour of Wales, this book is perfectly set up for that. It hits every little highway and biway, town by town, region by region.
We are planning our itinerary by it.
