Where the Folk: A Welsh Folklore Road Trip
Folklore isn't found in dusty archives or museum displays—it lives in the landscape, in the stories people tell, in the places where magic still seems possible. Russ Williams invites you on an intimate journey through Wales, following the threads of folklore to the actual locations where these stories took root and flourished.
This is travel writing at its most enchanting. Williams moves beyond the well-trodden tourist paths to discover the hidden corners of Wales where folklore breathes. From haunted castles and sacred sites to the everyday places where local legends persist, he explores what these stories reveal about Welsh culture, history, and identity. Each chapter is a pilgrimage to a place steeped in meaning, where the boundary between past and present, between the real and the magical, dissolves.
Williams's prose is lyrical and deeply knowledgeable, written by someone who clearly loves both the landscape and the stories it holds. At 240 pages, this is a substantial read—part travelogue, part cultural history, part meditation on the power of place.
Perfect for folklore enthusiasts, Welsh heritage seekers, armchair travellers, and anyone who believes that the best stories are written into the very earth beneath our feet.
