Review :
This is an excellent, broad-ranging and concisely written small volume. Approaching his subject with a lively style and an intimate knowledge of the area, the author sets out a series of eighteen, mainly circular walks reflecting the variety of landscape in south Pembrokeshire: the sheer cliffs and rock pillars of Stackpole head; fine stretches of limestone coast contrasting with the old red sandstone around Manorbier; sandy bays and hidden coves; inland pathways and ancient woodlands; the Daugleddau river with Landshipping quay and its coal mining history; and hermit hide-outs carved into the sea-cliffs. As well as giving a detailed description of the walks and a brief account of the natural history of the area, the author brings in an engaging mix of social, economic and industrial heritage. In all the pubs selected he offers their history and how the pub has continued to play a significant and varying role in the life of its communities. The introduction provides an interesting brief history of the pub from the Roman tavernae through to the increasing number of inns established for pilgrims journeying to St Davids; the purpose built public houses of the 18th century; Tom and Jerry shops; the rise of the Temperance movement; a change in the role of the public house from the 1930s and a centre of social activity rather than plain drunkenness, and the establishing of CAMRA (The Campaign for Real Ale) in 1971 which champions living (real) ale over keg (dead) beer and supports small, independent brewers. Combining this history with an overview of the landscape and culture of Pembrokeshire from its oldest pre-Cambrian rocks (3000 million years ago) to the opening of its long distance coast path in 1970, the author condenses an impressive and fascinating amount of information into a valuable guide, and indicates his keen appreciation for the natural harmony between good walking and good beer. All the walks which vary in length from 3km--9km come with a grading of difficulty (most are moderate or easy terrain), a sketch map with route instructions, and the proviso that OS maps should be purchased and used in conjunction with the book.
