Wales: Marches

[This section is in the early stages of development: 26 December 2006]

The Welsh Marches have been important to me for 30 years or more. When I was 10 years old, my father took me, and my brother, for a short walking holiday on the Offa's Dyke Footpath. I feel about this area like many people feel about the English Lake District. It is a few years since I visited the area.
