John CantrellShortly after he was born in 1946, John Cantrell started to enjoy the outdoors. His progress through Sale Grammar School went surprisingly well considering all his spare time was spent roaming the hills of Snowdonia, absorbing its history almost uncnsciously.

It was during a visit to Wales that he had the idea for his first book. Sarn Helen is about the wonderful walks and fascinating history of the Roman Roads of Wales.

John is now retired and lives in Snowdonia. Read More Read Less
