The Forest Guide Wales is coming 6th February and I was excited to receive and hold a first copy of the book in my hands in time for the new year. The guide book is now available to preorder from all good bookshops, with signed copies available direct from the author.
In this practical guide, Gabriel Hemery brings together the beauty, purpose, history and wildlife of some of the most extraordinary woodland sites in Wales, from the largest (like Tywi Forest, covering more than 6,000 hectares) to the smallest (measuring one hectare). Some woods are havens for rare wildlife such as the threatened red squirrel, spectacular lichens and the elusive goshawk. Others offer opportunities to explore archaeological features and discover some of Wales’ magical and hidden histories. Many are ideal for simply enjoying the spectacular Welsh scenery.
The book is divided into seven regions, each beginning with a summary of its woodland heritage. The 325 site entries contain details of ownership, designation, area, forest type, precise access details (including grid reference, post code and what3words reference) and a description of key features of interest. With clear maps and hundreds of remarkable photographs showcasing Wales’ plants, animals and landscapes, this is an essential book for adventurers, ramblers and wildlife enthusiasts. Wherever you may be in Wales, with this guide you will never be far from a fascinating forest site.
The Forest Guide Wales is the second of a three-book series which together will provide a unique and comprehensive guide to more than 1000 forest sites across Britain.
The Forest Guide Wales is published on 6th February and is now available to preorder. I’m also accepting preorders and will aim to send out copies in advance of the official publication date. Alternatively, support your local bookshop by visiting your local store to order or explore Bookshop.org online.
Meanwhile, advance copies of the book are being prepared for my lovely Book Patrons.
