Focussed views out to sea from the pier and promenade at Llandudno from associated settlements and the elevated and panoramic views from Great Orme Country Park. The North Wales Coastal Path and other settlements also have views. Key cultural associations: the legends associated with the Creuddyn peninsula, and the development of the holiday resort of Llandudno. Physical Geology Ordovician and Carboniferous rocks with limestone outcropping particularly around the Characteristics Great Orme and Little Ormes Head, sandstone at Penrhyn Bay. Blown sand overlies bedrock around Llandudno, boulder clay, alluvium and fluvioglacial sand and gravel abut the coast in places. Coastal landform A coast of dramatic rocky headlands and cliffs and sweeping shingle and sandy bays between. Each main bay has a promenade and coastal defences. The distinctive whaleback exposed landform of the Great Orme with its steep sides and rock outcrops reaches 200m AOD and the Little Orme 140m AOD. Lower gently rolling land links the Great Orme to the hills behind. Coastal landcover The greater part of the flatter land is occupied by the established resort settlements of Llandudno, Penrhyn Bay or Rhos-on-Sea with small breaks in between including river valley floors. Llandudno has a very coherent Victorian promenade character. Steeper slopes are covered with woodland, semi-natural vegetation, pasture and golf courses. Intertidal area Llandudno North Shore has a steeply sloping shingle storm beach, with sandy lower sections often being obscured by the tide. Penrhyn Bay is now dominated by rock armour and shingle. Elsewhere there are rocky shores, or steep cliffs and a minimal intertidal area. Characteristics of sea Open and moderately exposed with some protection from the headland to the west. Hinterland landform The coastal strip rises to a hill and valley landscape inland with the fringes of Snowdonia to the west. This landscape includes a few sections of exposed limestone, creating a rugged appearance. This is especially noticeable on the Great Orme and Little Orme’s Head. Hinterland landcover The coastal urban spread gives way to pastoral agriculture with scattered farms, scrub and woodland, and a few nucleated settlements. The busy A55 road and rail corridor runs inland. Lighting The coastal settlements form a significant concentration of light. Use Land/coast uses The coast is used primarily for tourism with residential uses. The A55 and railway form a transport corridor inland to the south. Sea uses On the coast: swimming with limited leisure craft. There are some pleasure boat trips from Llandudno North Shore and from Llandudno pier in summer, typically sight seeing trips around the Great Orme headland. Offshore: wind energy and oil and gas. Visual and How the seascape unit Pier and promenade at Llandudno with associated settlement; Great Orme Country Park sensory qualities is experienced including westbound one way Marine Drive toll road; North Wales Path; minor coastal roads and residential areas; public footpaths on backcloth of hills. The limestone headlands act to compartmentalise the coastal resorts, and in particular to provide a discrete, rugged and very distinctive setting for Llandudno. Views looking back from the headlands help emphasise the indentation of Llandudno’s North Shore Bay and the sweeping curve to its built frontage. Degree of intervisibility The greatest visibility is from the Great Orme’s and Little Orme’s Heads. There is of land and sea significant visibility from the rising hills behind the coast. 2 Welsh seascapes and their sensitivity to offshore developments Key views to sea and Key focussed views out to sea from the pier and promenade at Llandudno from associated along the coast settlements and the elevated and panoramic views from Great Orme Country Park and Marine Drive.

  • Distribution and Status of the Welsh Endemic Hieracium Britannicoides, Confused Hawkweed (Asteraceae)
    British & Irish Botany 3(1): 65-73, 2021 Conservation of Britain’s biodiversity: Distribution and status of the Welsh endemic Hieracium britannicoides, Confused Hawkweed (Asteraceae) Sarah J. Lee¹; Wendy McCarthy²; Timothy C.G. Rich³* ¹Swansea, U.K. ²Llandudno, U.K. ³Cardiff, U.K. *Corresponding author: Timothy C.G. Rich: [email protected] This pdf constitutes the Version of Record published on 16th February 2021 Abstract Hieracium britannicoides, Confused Hawkweed, is a Welsh endemic plant confined to Caernarvonshire (v.c.49) and Denbighshire (v.c.50). Field surveys 2009-2019 indicate at least 390 plants occur in eight sites. The IUCN threat status is ‘Vulnerable’. The main threats are spread of alien woody species (especially Cotoneaster), which without continued management will become a serious problem in the future, and over-grazing or spread of scrub from under-grazing. Keywords: IUCN threat status, Wales. Introduction Hieracium britannicoides P. D. Sell, Confused Hawkweed, was first described as a species by Sell & Murrell (2006) who separated it from other members of the H. britannicum group. Bevan (1990) gave the first detailed account of H. britannicoides (as H. britannicum) in Wales. The history of the H. britannicum group may be briefly be summarised as follows (Bevan, 1990; Sell & Murrell, 2006). Hanbury (1892) first described H. britannicum F. Hanb. and gave its distribution as Derbyshire (v.c.57), Staffordshire (v.c.39), mid-west Yorkshire (v.c.64), and possibly Fife (v.c.85). Further records followed including the first Welsh records in Caernarvonshire (v.c.49) (Linton, 1905). Subsequent studies showed there was significant variation within H.

SUMMARY A small evaluation excavation was carried out on deposits within a newly discovered rock shelter on the east side of the Great Orme at NGR: SH 7807 8370. The deposits were exposed and subject to some erosion and animal burrowing. Several worked flints had been collected from the surface of the deposits as well as a pierced shell bead of a type known from Upper Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic sites. The excavation revealed the presence of occupation deposits from the surface down to a depth of -070m above stony scree.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).
