'Wales has some of the best football grounds'

An amateur photographer from Sheffield who has visited hundreds of football pitches says many in Wales are "magnificent" and among the very best.

Mike Bayly, 50, works as an IT consultant but also has a passion for groundhopping – travelling the country to explore lesser-known football grounds and connect with the communities behind them.

In 2013, he set out to write a book on Britain's best football grounds, guided by votes from fans across the UK.

He said the "warm welcome" from grassroots clubs, especially in Wales, kept him returning year after year, and has led him to visit around 40 of the country's grounds.
