Two hundred years ago, Wales was an all but forgotten corner of England. Travelling across its remote uplands between scattered settlements was often a challenge as was entering a land close to home where few people outside its towns spoke English. It was rarely visited without good reason. A Wilder Wales introduces readers to the sheer breadth of experiences these travellers had, through extracts from 35 books, journals and periodicals, written between 1609 and 1831.

David Lloyd Owen lives with his family on their farm in Llangoedmor, Ceredigion, where he reads, cooks, writes and watches the seasons while his wife organises equestrian events. He spent several years watching choughs near Llangrannog for his doctoral research at Jesus College, Oxford. He has also spent time watching choughs and other birds in Qinghai, Ladakh, Zanskar and the Hunza Valley. After some years in the City and consultancy, he founded Envisager, advising Governments, companies and banks about water markets and policies. He has published eight books on water including The Sound of Thirst.
