About This Book
The author records a series of sketching rambles through Pembrokeshire, combining travelogue, local history and architectural description. Chapters survey coastal towns, medieval castles and ecclesiastical sites, concentrating on Tenby, Manorbier, Pembroke, Carew and St Davids with its cathedral and bishops' palace; inland sections describe the Precelly Hills, cromlechs, crosses and rural customs. Observations link place-names, antiquities and landscape, and notes on churches, fonts, and domestic buildings are paired with engraved illustrations. The tone mixes antiquarian research with practical guidance for visitors and an eye for picturesque detail.
