About the book

Wales is home to 190 Nuttall summits—every hill over 2000ft in the country. From the great ridges of Snowdon (yr Wyddfa) and the Carneddau to the remote moorland of the Rhinogs, the grassy summits of the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) and the challenging terrain of Crib Goch, this guidebook spans the complete range of difficulty and landscape Welsh hill walking has to offer. John and Anne Nuttall's authoritative Cicerone guide covers all 190 Welsh summits in 49 routes, with detailed descriptions, maps and hand-drawn illustrations for every top. The 190 summits are organised into 13 mountain groups (Carneddau, Glyders, Snowdon, Moel Hebog, Moelwyns, Arenigs, Berwyns, Arans, Rhinogs, Cadair Idris, Central Wales, Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog), making it straightforward to plan days out by area. Practical information for every route includes details of maps required, parking and local services. The third edition includes three newly confirmed summits, definitive Nuttall lists for reference, an alphabetical index of all tops, and a section on deleted summits—essential for serious peak baggers tracking their progress. With 190 summits across 13 mountain groups, there's a lifetime of Welsh hill walking within these pages.
