Imposing castles, spectacular mountains, sweeping beaches and a vibrant culture make Wales a magnet for day-trippers, holiday makers and locals looking for an adventure. But how do you discover its joys without a car? In Every Other Hour, life-long public transport user Alice Hughes takes us on her own journey around the country, travelling by bus, train and her own two feet. Sharing the ups and downs along the way, she visits some of Wales' most beautiful, interesting and rewarding places - both well-loved and lesser-known - exploring The Valleys by train, admiring dark skies in Y Bannau Brycheiniog, strolling along the Wales Coastal Path and more. Packed with charm, local character and unforgettable experiences, as well as Alice's favourite foodie highlights, her warm, funny book is the perfect companion for anyone drawn to the joys of slow travel and exploring car-free.
