I was very impressed with the Snowdonia Slate Trail guide. The design has been very well thought out: physically it is a convenient size ... printed on rainproof paper, is spiral bound for ease of use when on the trail and the cover is slightly larger than the rest of the book and has a folded part which, when not in use as a bookmark, has a useful map key and a table showing where there are pubs, cafes, B&Bs etc along the way.

There is plenty to read about the slate industry, Snowdonia, the Great Little Trains of Wales and habitats and wildlife; these are in their own sections and sensibly kept separate from the directions of how to get from one place to another.
