About The Book

Discover the power of our relationship with Y Môr (the sea) along the Wales Coast Path.

Matthew Yeomans takes us on journeys along the official walking trail, which in its entirety covers 870 miles (1400 km) of the Welsh coastline. He uncovers how the sea has shaped our lives through history; how Wales’s rich mythology, literature and culture has been influenced by this fluid force, and the growing role that the sea plays in our lives.

Along the way, Seascape challenges us to face the realities of climate change and how we will need to adapt where and how we live. Only by recovering a healthy relationship with the sea can we meet our future challenges and unlock opportunities for better ways of living.
