This is the fourth of four volumes providing the most comprehensive coverage of the mountains of the Snowdonia National Park. The Southern Peaks encompases the ranges of Cadair Idris, which rises from the sandbars and surf of the Mawddach Estuary like great walls of splintered rock; the neighbouring Tarren and Dyfi Hills, where hard Ordovician rock meets soft Silurian shale, and the fine Aran ridges high above the fields and lake of Bala.

Impressed by the sheer amount of information in two such relatively slim volumes. - Outdoors Magic

The beauty of the series is the depth and choice. Unlike other books, that compromise and short change you by squeezing into a single volume, this sprawls out like a range describing every significant peak and the many ways of linking them together. Not just a route up and down but full à la carte choice to plan the expedition you want. What I like is the balance between interesting information and details of navigation. I think John Gillham has got it right. - voff-snowdonia.blogspot.com

This comprehensive and engaging volume features beautiful colour photography and route drawings. It's enthusiastically written, easy to read and informative. - Country & Border Life

If you were to lay down a map of Snowdonia, close your eyes, spin around a time or two and plonk your finger down at random, chances are you would find that exact location covered, in surprising detail, in John Gillham's Pictorial Guides. - Britain

Provide a treasure trove of information on every significant peak in the Snowdonia National Park…. They may well be the only books you would need for a National Park crammed with hill country, from high rocky summits to low craggy tors. - TGO: The Great Outdoors
