Great British Journeys - Gerald of Wales' Journey through Wales

Logo for Great British Journeys - Gerald of Wales' Journey through Wales

Nicholas Crane attempts to retrace a journey first made 800 years ago. In 1188, writer, scholar and churchman Gerald of Wales set out on a treacherous expedition to recruit men for a crusade against the armies of Saladin, then occupying the holy land. Nick hopes to find Gerald's exact route, from the English border to the remotest parts of North Wales.
