Join Bethan Scorey on an illustrated exploration of fifty historic buildings in Wales, each with its own fascinating story to tell.

Wales in Fifty Buildings is a celebration of buildings of all ages and from all corners of Wales, with each providing an insight into a different aspect of its history. Follies, observatories, mausoleums and shell grottoes await, with Bethan’s enchanting colour illustrations bringing them all to life.

From concrete cottages to a house with seven ‘eyes’, from a mysterious dovecote in a cliff to a Swiss chalet in Swansea, expect a surprise with every turn of the page.

Browse the buildings in chronological order, or follow one of the suggested sequences – how about a coastal road trip? Or an afternoon of whimsical garden buildings? Wales in Fifty Buildings is the perfect book for adventurers and armchair travellers alike.
