自18世纪以来，旅行作家一直试图将威尔士描绘成一个“与众不同”的地方，其自身的文化，历史和传说融入景观。他们的文字后来启发了20世纪的旅行者。这些后来的旅行者还借鉴了地理学家、人类学家和考古学家的学术著作，如H. J. Fleure、西里尔福克斯和E. G.鲍恩，他们在威尔士的风景中广泛而有影响力地阐述了自己的身份和种族观念。在这些流行的旅行故事中，一个反复出现的主题，如H.V.莫顿的《寻找威尔士》，是凯尔特人的历史和文化，在风景和人民中都很明显。旅行者的书籍记录了旅行，不时地参观这个凯尔特人过去的纪念碑，山上的石头和石头，以及与威尔士人民的相遇。旅行者和学者的文学结合起来，为威尔士创造了一种特殊的文本形式，这种文本反过来又成为促进旅游业和威尔士形象和经验的语言，这些形象和经验可以被那些前来参观的人带走。
Abstract Travel writers since the eighteenth century have sought to portray Wales as a place of «difference» with its own culture, history and legends woven into the landscape. Their texts were later to inspire twentieth-century travellers. These later travellers also drew on the academic work of geographers, anthropologists and archaeologists such as H.J. Fleure, Cyril Fox and E.G. Bowen who wrote extensively and influentially on their ideas of identity and race grounded in the landscapes of Wales. One recurrent theme throughout these popular travel narratives, like H.V. Morton'sIn Search of Wales , was that of a Celtic history and culture, evident both in landscape and in the people. Travellers» books recorded journeys punctuated by visits to the monuments of this Celtic past with its hill-forts and standing stones, and by encounters with the peoples of Wales. The literature of travellers and academics combined to create a particular form of text for Wales that in turn became the language for the promotion of tourism and for the images and experiences of Wales that could be taken away by those who came to visit.
