A Tour in Wales

Thomas Pennant
1726-1798
Thomas Pennant’s account documents his tour of Wales in 1771, including a trip to Snowden, the highest mountain in Wales. A Tour in Wales is both a guidebook and a history, documenting Pennant’s attentiveness to the remnants of Welsh antiquity wherever he traveled. An influential publication, it became a handbook for traveling artists, intellectuals, and tourists.
