The Most Glorious Prospect: Garden Visiting in Wales 1639-1900 - Bettina Harden Helena Attlee reviews this book in the April issue of World of Interiors - in her review Attlee notes that the author Bettina Harden has done something much more interesting than give a standard history of garden in Wales, instead by scrutinising the itineraries of visitors over 300 years she is able to select the gardens that are at the heart of travel journals, guidebooks, letters and sketchbooks of the 17th and 18th centuries. Thus the book is about gardens but also about the British obsession with garden visiting . . . and usefully includes the practical information for the gardens that are still open today. The gardens in the book include the great terraces of Powis Castle, the Menai Strait vistas of the garden at Plas Newydd on Anglesey and the (now lost) gardens of Stackpole in Pembrokeshire.
