  • Eisteddfod Branding
    The National Eisteddfod The National Eisteddfod is Wales’ largest festival, held alternately in north and south Wales, celebrating the Welsh language and culture of Wales. Its history can be traced back to the court of the Lord Rhys in 1176, with the modern day Eisteddfod held every year bar one since 1861. The festival has evolved and developed greatly over the past ten years, with over 1,000 events held across the Maes (site) during the eight-day festival. The Eisteddfod also plays host to over 200 competitions, with many of these held in the main Pavilion during the week. The other events are held across the Maes, some in semi- permanent buildings and others in attractive tents and yurts, such as Tŷ Gwerin and Caffi Maes B. We know the Eisteddfod and the community project are unique. Our brand needs to celebrate and embrace this uniqueness. Information on the festival and all events can be found online, www.eisteddfod.wales The project The Eisteddfod is looking to rebrand the festival and the organisation over the next year. The Eisteddfod festival is an iconic brand, the word itself is known across the world, and our brand needs to reflect this, with the word playing a central part in any graphic. Typography is very important to us. With so many events and activities held during the week and the community project, the typography must be strong and instantly recognisable – emphasising the uniqueness of the festival and the project and its central place in the culture of Wales. The successful agency will need to deliver a brand which overcomes a number of challenges.

    Welsh Studies LITERATURE SINCE 1500 By DAVID R. JOHNSTON, Lecturer in Welsh in the University College ofCardiff B. Jarvis, 'Dysgeidiaeth Cristnoges o Ferch a'i gefndir', YB, I3: 2 Ig--26, discusses Renaissance attitudes towards women's educa­ tion, with particular reference to Richard Owen's Welsh translation (preserved in a MS of I 552) of De Instructione Feminae Christianae by Juan Luis Vives. D. Evans, 'Mwyalchen wen mewn caets', NLWJ, 23: 329-33, publishes the text of a cywydd by the late I 6th-c. Glamorgan poet Sils ap Sion about a caged white blackbird. The cywydd deuair jjrion metre and the tunes to which it was sung from the I 6th c. onwards are discussed by M. Evans, 'Deuair fyrion ac alawon', Canu Gwerin, 8: I6-3r. M. Burdett-Jones, '"Sacrafen Penyd" ', YB, I 3: 227-3 I, shows that a now lost Welsh translation of the recusant text, A Short Treatise of the Sacrament of Penance, made by the Renaissance scholar Thomas Wiliems, was in the hands of the I8th-c. lexicographer Thomas Lloyd, who refers to the manuscript translation to illustrate words in his copy ofJohn Davies's Dictionar­ ium Duplex. Two documentary references to Thomas Wiliems, dated I602 and I604, are printed and discussed by G. C. G.

  • THE ROLE of GRAZING ANIMALS and AGRICULTURE in the CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: Recognising Key Environmental and Economic Benefits Delivered by Agriculture in Wales’ Uplands
    THE ROLE OF GRAZING ANIMALS AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CAMBRIAN MOUNTAINS: recognising key environmental and economic benefits delivered by agriculture in Wales’ uplands Author: Ieuan M. Joyce. May 2013 Report commissioned by the Farmers’ Union of Wales. Llys Amaeth,Plas Gogerddan, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, SY23 3BT Telephone: 01970 820820 Executive Summary This report examines the benefits derived from the natural environment of the Cambrian Mountains, how this environment has been influenced by grazing livestock and the condition of the natural environment in the area. The report then assesses the factors currently causing changes to the Cambrian Mountains environment and discusses how to maintain the benefits derived from this environment in the future. Key findings: The Cambrian Mountains are one of Wales’ most important areas for nature, with 17% of the land designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). They are home to and often a remaining stronghold of a range of species and habitats of principal importance for the conservation of biological diversity with many of these species and habitats distributed outside the formally designated areas. The natural environment is critical to the economy of the Cambrian Mountains: agriculture, forestry, tourism, water supply and renewable energy form the backbone of the local economy. A range of non-market ecosystem services such as carbon storage and water regulation provide additional benefit to wider society. Documentary evidence shows the Cambrian Mountains have been managed with extensively grazed livestock for at least 800 years, while the pollen record and archaeological evidence suggest this way of managing the land has been important in the area since the Bronze Age.

  • A Short Guide to Castell Dinas Bran
    11/12/2018 Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust - Education - Guides - Dinas Bran Cymraeg / English A short guide to Castell Dinas Bran by the Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Castell Dinas Bran (OS national grid reference SJ222430) is both a hillfort and medieval castle. The Iron Age defences and medieval castle are located high above the valley of the Dee overlooking Llangollen. The castle is sited on a long rectangular platform which may have been artificially levelled. The ground drops away steeply on all sides but particularly to the north with its crags and cliffs. The site is a scheduled ancient monument. The hillfort has a single bank and ditch enclosing an area of about 1.5 hectares. To the south and west the defences are most considerable being up to 8 metres high in places. The entrance lies in the south-west corner of the fort and is defended by an inward curving bank. To the north the fort is defended by the natural steepness of the land and no earthwork defences were required. The castle was built towards the later part of the 13th century by the princes of Powys Fadog and was the site of a meeting between the sons of Gryffydd Maelor in 1270 when they granted the lands of Maelor Saesneg for the upkeep of their mother, Emma Audley. During the wars between Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, Prince of Wales and Edward I of England the castle was burnt by the Welsh before it was captured in 1277 by Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln. It was not repaired and ceased to be used after the 1280s.

General Report on Costs and Returns for 65 Hill Sheep Flocks for 1954-55 and 1955-56. by M. H. DUMMER, B.A. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS CAMBRIAN CHAMBERS, CAMBRIAN PLACE ABERYSTWYTH Price: 2s.6d. - ACKITOWLEDGEMENT The Department of Agricultural Economics, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, acknowledges with thanks, the assistance given by the farmers who supplied the information on which this Report is based. Their ready co-operation and patience in supplying much detailed information was greatly appreciated. E. F. Nash. December 1957. Professor of Agricultural Economics. 0 INTRODUCTION; Hill sheep farming is, perhaps, one of the most distinctive forms of pastoral activity practised in Wales. This is so owing to the wide expanse of hill and upland country which, apart from forestry, is only suitable for affording pasturage for sheep and to some extent cattle. Thus almost 60 per • cent of the land area of the Principality is above the 500 foot contour, while over one-quarter is above 1,000 feet. In fact, the country consists of a central upland core with mountain ranges extending into the Lleyn peninsula of Caernarvon- shire in the north-west, and in the form of the Ptescelly Mountains in Pembroke- shire in the south-west. Along the western seaboard the coastal plain is very narrow and in some places non-existent. On the east, however, the valleys opening out towards the English border are wider and give rise to more broken country.
