Glamorganshire
Glamorganshire The vice-county of Glamorganshire can be roughly split into three areas. Gower has acidic sandy soils with clay between heathland commons. South of the M4, the Vale of Glamorgan is generally low-lying with clay, impermeable brown earths and sandy free-draining soils all of which are slightly calcareous and good for growing crops. North of the M4 the land grades into mountains and the soils are wetter stagnogleys much more suited to pastoral farming. Small scale arable cultivation was a feature of the mixed farming in the area as shown by the 1930s land use survey which is considered a low point in arable cultivation. Growing crops will probably have increased during the World Wars in the 20th Century as there was a greater need to be more self-reliant, and the advent of herbicides and inorganic fertilisers in the mid 20th Century has led to an increase in crop production in some areas as weed control has improved. Arable land has been restricted to the better cereal growing soils of Gower and the south of the Vale of Glamorgan in both the 1930s and 1990s land use surveys. However, there has been a 20% contraction in arable land between these two time periods and a concentration of arable land into larger blocks in the latter land use survey. This could be caused by a number of reasons including the general change in farming businesses towards more livestock farming and pastoral land; the increase in herbicides and fertiliser costs which may lie beyond the means of small-scale farms; and the volatility of cereal prices may also have led to a decline in small-scale arable cropping with high yields only breaking even in some years, thus larger farms becoming more economical and the coagulation of cultivated land.

Scenic Coach Tours of Gower Peninsula in 1956 the Gower
Scenic Coach Tours of Gower Peninsula In 1956 The Gower Peninsula near Swansea in South Wales was the first area in the UK to be declared by the UK Government as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or AONB. The result of this declaration has meant that the Peninsula has enjoyed special protection of its wonderful landscape so that visitors can enjoy all its pristine glory from golden beaches to soaring cliffs with green woodlands and gentle hills. For coach tours we would suggest the following itinerary:- Your coach will arrive approx 10 am for a Guided Tour of the 12th Century water mill at the Gower Heritage Centre with an option to have a Cream Tea of Scones, Clotted Cream and Jam followed by a guided Coach Tour of Gower. Guided tour of the mill – guests will be greeted at the entrance by your guide, who will direct the group to the Water Wheel to begin the tour, which will take between half an hour and 45 minutes. It will take you all round the water-powered corn mill and saw mill, into the Miller’s cottage and Blacksmith’s shop, and include the history of the Mill and descriptions of milling, wood-turning and blacksmithing. There are plenty of chances to ask and answer questions. The tour also takes in the coracle display area. Following the tour, your group will want to investigate the rest of the site.
