Synopsis

This book follows the course of the River Dee, beginning at its source in the mountains of Merioneth, Wales, and tracing its path as it flows eastwards towards the sea. The author explores the rich history and folklore associated with the river, from ancient Welsh legends to the life and times of the 15th-century rebel leader, Owain Glyndwr. Along the way, the book also examines the natural beauty of the Dee Valley, its geology, and its role in the development of the region's industry. The book is a fascinating blend of history, nature writing, and cultural exploration. The author brings the Dee Valley to life, painting a vivid picture of its landscapes, its people, and its past. The book also sheds new light on Owain Glyndwr, a complex and enigmatic figure who has been both celebrated as a national hero and reviled as a traitor. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history, culture, and natural beauty of Wales. It is also a valuable resource for scholars studying Owain Glyndwr and the Welsh Marches.
