A gentle stroll around Crickhowell that focuses on its distinctive townscape and some of its more interesting visitors in the late 18th and 19th Centuries, as illustrated in the book "Crickhowell through the eyes of the visitor 1740-1910" [Available from CRiC.] The role of important landowners in the development of the town and changes in local society are examined and illustrated from a variety of historical records.
