  • Marine Character Areas MCA 14 TREMADOG BAY & DWYRYD
    Marine Character Areas MCA 14 TREMADOG BAY & DWYRYD ESTUARY Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area (MCA) encompasses the shallow waters of Tremadog Bay, nestled between the Llŷn Peninsula and the Snowdonia coast in north-west Wales. It includes the tidal extents of the Glaslyn and Dwyryd estuaries, up to the High Water Mark. The MCA is characterised by shallower waters (informed by bathymetry) and markedly lower wave climate/wave exposure compared with the surrounding MCAs. The rocky reef of Sarn Badrig forms the southern MCA boundary, with associated rough, shallow waters as marked on the Marine Charts. The coastal areas which form the northern boundary of the MCA are contained within NLCAs 4: Llŷn and 5: Tremadoc Bay. www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk MCA 14 Tremadog Bay and Dwyryd Estuary - Page 1 of 9 Key Characteristics Key Characteristics A sweeping, shallow bay with wide sandy beaches, and a distinctive swash-aligned coastal landform at Morfa Harlech. To the north, the rugged coastal peak of Moel-y- Gest is a prominent landmark. Extensive intertidal area at the mouth of the Dwyryd estuary, with a meandering channel running through it, and continuing inland. Ynys Gifftan is located in the estuary. Shallow mud and sand substrate overlying Oligocene and Permo-Triassic sedimentary rock with a diverse infaunal community. Traditionally, mariners used sounding leads on to follow the ‘muddy hollow’ from off St Tudwal’s East to Porthmadog fairway buoy. Includes part of the designated Lleyn Peninsula and the Sarnau SAC, recognised for its reefs, shallow inlets and estuaries. Extensive intertidal habitats and river channels designated SAC and SSSI (Morfa Harlech and Glaslyn) provide important bird feeding and overwintering sites and habitat for rare plants and insects.

  • The North Wales Pilgrim's Way. Spiritual Re
    27 The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way. Spiritual re- vival in a marginal landscape. DANIELS Andrew Abstract The 21st century has seen a marked resurgence in the popularity of pilgrim- age routes across Europe. The ‘Camino’ to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and routes in England to Walsingham in Norfolk and Canterbury in Kent are just three well-known examples where numbers of pilgrims have increased dramati- cally over the last decade. The appeal to those seeking religious as well as non- spiritual self-discovery has perhaps grown as the modern world has become ever more complicated for some. The North Wales Pilgrim’s Way is another ancient route that has once again seen a marked increase in participants during recent years. Various bodies have attempted to appropriate this spiritual landscape in or- der to attract modern pilgrims. Those undertaking the journey continue to leave their own imprints on this marginal place. Year by year they add further layers of meaning to those that have already been laid down over many centuries of pil- grimage. This short paper is the second in a series of research notes looking specifically at overlapping spiritual and tourist connections in what might be termed ‘periph- eral landscapes’ in remote coastal areas of Britain. In particular I will focus on how sites connected with early Celtic Christianity in Britain have been used over time by varying groups with different agendas. In the first paper in this series, I explored how the cult of St. Cuthbert continues to draw visitors to Lindisfarne or Holy Island in the North East of England.

  • SEASIDE TOWNS in WALES: a ‘Benchmarking’ Study
    SEASIDE TOWNS IN WALES: A ‘benchmarking’ study Christina Beatty, Steve Fothergill and Ian Wilson Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research Sheffield Hallam University Report to Visit Wales The findings in this report are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of Visit Wales or the Welsh Assembly Government November 2009 1 Contents Summary 1. SCOPE OF THE REPORT 2. STATISTICAL EVIDENCE • Population • Language • Employment • Economic status • Skills and qualifications • Benefits • Seasonal unemployment • Earnings • Business stock • Migrant workers • Economic output • Housing • Deprivation 3. ASSESSMENT Many of the statistics presented in this report have been compiled from data held on NOMIS: National Statistics ( www.nomisweb.co.uk ). Crown copyright material is reproduced with the permission of the Controller, Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI). 2 Summary This report provides a new information base on seaside towns in Wales. It presents a range of statistical evidence on socio-economic conditions and compares the figures with averages for Wales as a whole. The report is directly comparable to two recently completed studies for seaside towns in England and, where possible, makes comparisons between seaside towns in Wales and those in England. The report is the first of two outputs from new research funded by Visit Wales. The second output, anticipated shortly, is the inclusion of Welsh seaside towns alongside their English counterparts in a study measuring the scale, location and trends in the seaside tourist industry. The report focuses on ‘seaside towns’ or ‘resorts’ – that is, places where seaside tourism is an important part of the local economy – rather than on all places along the coast.

  • Snowdonia & the Llŷn
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd SNOWDONIA & THE LLŶN 3 PERFECT DAYS DAY 1 // CONQUER THE MOUNTAIN Check the weather forecast before making an assault on Snowdon (p226). If you’re fit, catch the Snowdon Sherpa bus to Pen-y-Pass and take the Pyg Track (p227). Time your descent via the Rhyd Ddu Path to catch the Welsh Highland Railway (p244) back to Caernarfon. If you’re not up for climbing, head to Llanberis and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway (p227). You’ll be up and down the mountain in 2½ hours, leaving plenty of time to check out the National Slate Museum (p230) and Dolbadarn Castle (p231) before stocking up on mead at Snowdon Honey Farm (p231). Head to Caer- narfon and watch the sunset over the Menai Strait from beside the city walls before dining at the Black Boy Inn (p235). DAY 2 // BE A PILGRIM Spend the morning exploring Caernarfon Castle (p233) before heading for the Llŷ n Peninsula. Ideally you’ll have prebooked a boat to Bardsey but if they’re not running, make do with gazing at the island from Braich-y-Pwll (p239). Abersoch (p241), Cric- cieth (p243) and Porthmadog (p244) are good places to stop for the night, but Harlech (p218) has the best restaurants – along with another World Heritage castle. DAY 3 // A SCENIC OVERLOAD Wherever you ended up, take the scenic A498 through the Pass of Aberglaslyn and back into the national park. Spend the day pottering along the route between Beddge- lert (p228) and Betws-y-Coed (p222), stopping at the lakes, lookouts and falls.

  • Second Homes: Developing New Policies in Wales
    Second homes: Developing new policies in Wales Author: Dr Simon Brooks Second homes: Developing new policies in Wales Audience Welsh Government departments; public bodies in Wales; community councils; third sector organisations in Wales; private sector companies in Wales; organisations working with communities; and other interested parties. Overview This report was initiated following the award of a small grant by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to Dr Simon Brooks, Associate Professor in the School of Management at Swansea University, to scrutinise policy on second homes in Wales and Cornwall. The original aim was to prepare a brief report focussing on the comparison between public policy solutions based on taxation policy (Wales) and planning policy (Cornwall). However, due to the increasing interest in this subject area, the Welsh Government’s Minister for Mental Health, Well-being and Welsh Language asked if the research could be expanded in order to scrutinise some wider issues regarding second homes and to make policy recommendations.

    4.04.0 ANAN ASSESSMENTASSESSMENT OFOF THETHE AREAAREA ANDAND ITSITS RESOURCESRESOURCES 22 4.0 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE AREA AND ITS RESOURCES 4.1 Introduction 4.1.1 This section of the Management Plan considers the current condition of special qualities in Llñn’s AONB. It also includes an assessment of the economy which includes agriculture, fishing, other rural enterprises and tourism. A comprehensive assessment of resources is an essential part of the Management Plan. This will measure any changes in the unique attributes of the area and the success of the Management Plan. 4.1.2 Ideally, a Management Plan should include an assessment of all the qualities or resources according to “their nature, character, quality, extent and condition” (AONB Management Plans CCW, 2001). However, the ability to undertake detailed analysis is often hampered by lack of resources and information about many of these qualities. The main problem in obtaining detailed information about the extent and condition of resources within the Llñn AONB were as follows: ● lack of information – in terms of measuring the resource and/or its condition, ● lack of specific information for the AONB, ● no up to date information, ● resources that are difficult to measure e.g. scenery, culture. 4.1.3 The most up to date information that was available was used for the assessment and any gaps in information are noted. The identification of gaps in information is an important part of the Management Plan and may be adopted as a future aim or action in the Plan’s Action Programme. 4.1.4 This Management Plan seeks to identify, define and assess the special qualities of the area as effectively as possible under the circumstances.
