  • Visit to Coedarhdyglyn, St George-Super-Ely, CF5 6SF on Friday 12Th October at 2Pm
    YMDDIRIEDOLAETH GERDDI HANESYDDOL CYMRU WELSH HISTORIC GARDENS TRUST South and Mid Glamorgan Branch Visit to Coedarhdyglyn, St George-super-Ely, CF5 6SF on Friday 12th October at 2pm At the kind invitation of Rhodri Traherne our Branch will be visiting Coedarhydyglyn. a Grade II* garden is not open to the public, so this will be a rare opportunity to explore the gardens and wider parkland landscape. The house, which was commissioned by the Revd. John Montgomery Traherne in 1820, stands on the side of a deep valley in the centre of parkland and commands extensive views to the north. House and parkland together form a picturesque early C19th landscape. The topography of the site has largely determined the content of the grounds with woodland predominating. Terraced gardens immediately around the house are laid mainly to lawns. The Dell, a narrow spring fed valley to the south of the house, was developed as a woodland and water garden with strong Japanese influence by Llewellyn Edmund Traherne early in the C20th and is thought to have been the work of Alfred Parsons & Partners. The woodlands contain some notable plantings of rhododendrons and conifers, many of them planted by the present owner’s uncle Sir Cennydd Traherne and his wife Rowena who established the Cyprus garden and the Pinetum. The Pinetum is a special interest of our host who will accompany us on our tour. The entrance to Coedarhdyglyn is about ½ mile from Culverhouse Cross roundabout. Take to A48 to St Nicolas and, at the top of the hill, turn tight into a private driveway.

    Regional Profile Ebbw Vale & Blaenau Gwent Content Ebbw Vale Overview of Ebbw Vale & Blaenau Economy of Ebbw Vale Gwent & Blaenau Gwent Workforce Skills Addressing Youth Unemployment Summary > > Overview of Ebbw Vale History Ebbw Vale is a town at the head of the valley formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary of the Ebbw River in Wales. It is the largest town and the administrative centre of Blaenau Gwent county borough. Originally a rather insignificant spot in rural Monmouthshire with only about 120 inhabitants but at the end of the 18th century, Ebbw Vale—and the whole valley—was transformed by the Industrial Revolution. The Ebbw Vale Iron Works, later to become the Ebbw Vale Steelworks, opened in 1778, followed by the opening of a number of coal mines around 1790. At its height (1930s — 40s) the steel works in Ebbw Vale was the largest in Europe, although attracting very little attention from German bombers during World War II. By the 1960s around 14,500 people were employed in the works in and around Ebbw Vale, but the end of the century witnessed a massive collapse to the industry. A strike in 1980 was followed by closures and redundancies which resulted in the dismantling of many of the old plants. In 2002 only 450 were employed in the old industries, and by July of that year the final works closed. > Overview | Economy | Workforce Skills | Summary > Overview of Ebbw Vale Ebbw Vale Today The largest regeneration project in Wales is currently underway on the former Steelworks However, significant recent investment in Blaenau Gwent includes: site – including the opening of a new Learning Zone, Leisure Centre, housing, industry and The • Over £100 million for the Learning Works Scheme at The Gwent Archives.

  • Barry to Llantwit Major (Wales Coast Path) Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Barry to Llantwit Major (Wales Coast Path) walk Glamorgan Heritage Coast : Cold Knap point, Porthkerry viaduct, Fontygary, Rhoose and Summerhouse points, Llantwit Major beach Length 13.5 miles (21.7km) with 1,000 ft (300m) of ascent. Can be split into 2 shorter walks. Toughness 6 / 10 Walk The section of the Wales Coast Path (WCP) starts in Barry (of Barry Island and Notes Gavin & Stacey fame), then heads west past Cold Knap Point, Porthkerry Park (with its spectacular railway viaduct), Rhoose Point (the most southerly point in Wales), Aberthaw, Summerhouse Point and Llantwit Major's beach. The walk has a mixture: headlands, sandy beaches, parkland, quiet cliff paths, dramatic cliffs, and 'stone shelf' beaches. And, its great for swimming. This is the first section of dramatic coast and sandy beaches if starting in Chepstow (or the last, if coming from the north). Travel is easy - there is a direct train service between Barry, Rhoose and Barry, crossing the Porthkerry viaduct. The walk starts at Barry Station, and heads for the old Barry Harbour, there used to be sand in front of the breakwater, but now the tidal(!) bay has silted up and looks picturesque, but uninviting. Then its out to Cold Knap Point (with 270° views), then along the Knap promenade (a pebble beach, with viaduct views!). Then its over low cliffs (nicer than shingle walking at the base), and down the "golden staircase" (local legend is that a golden coin is buried underneath them) to Porthkerry Park, with its railway viaduct The next section is a low cliff top path past former quarries to Rhoose Point, Wales most southerly point.
