This work explores the scenic beauty and historical significance of the River Wye, one of England's most celebrated rivers, from its source on Plinlimmon to its confluence with the Severn. Ritchie aims to connect the natural landscape with its romantic and historical associations, providing a guide for both travelers and armchair readers. The opening of the book sets the stage for Ritchie's exploration by discussing the unique characteristics of English scenery, particularly those found along the River Wye. He reflects on the English propensity to seek picturesque landscapes both at home and abroad, noting how the beauty of familiar surroundings is often appreciated more fully after travel. Ritchie introduces various picturesque locations, such as Worcester and the surrounding countryside, before embarking on a journey that leads to the Wye's source, emphasizing the tranquil and idyllic aspects of the Welsh landscape while illustrating the humble yet content lives of its inhabitants. His descriptions blend observations of nature with reflections on society, establishing a rich context for the adventures that lie ahead.
