  • Programme 3 the Norman Conquest of Pembrokeshire
    PROGRAMME 3 THE NORMAN CONQUEST OF PEMBROKESHIRE Introduction. We’re walking through Pembrokeshire and Britain’s only coastal national park to discover how a group of French-speaking warriors turned this corner of Wales into a place still known as ‘Little England beyond Wales’. Home to miles of rugged coast line, beautiful beaches and incredible wildlife, it’s a landscape and culture heavily shaped by the Normans. Unlike the knockout victory of Hastings, this conquest was a long, fiercely fought struggle. Over time the Normans turned a Welsh speaking Kingdom into an English speaking shire dominated by castles, churches and the amazing cathedral in the city of St Davids. .Walking Through History Day 1 . From St Davids, we’ll make our way along the coastal cliffs, learning about the Norman’s first meetings with the native Welsh. We’ll start by walking in the footsteps of England’s greatest warrior king – William the Conqueror. St Davids to Newgale via Pembrokeshire Coastal Path Distance: 10 miles Day 2 . Heading inland, we’re walking the rough frontier the Norman’s fought to create with the rest of Wales. We’ll trace this boundary – or Landsker Line – that formed as Normans and Flemings flooded in, past early defences at Hayscastle and Wolfcastle. Climbing Great Treffgarne Mountain gives the perfect look out over the landscape facing the invaders. Finally we head south-west, to discover how the native Welsh fought back as I reach Wiston. Newgale to Wiston via Hayscastle, Wolfcastle and Great Treffgarne Mountain Distance: 20 miles Day 3 . The River Cleddau is our guide on Day 3, as we find out how a stunning welsh princess seduced Normans, Welsh and English alike.

    Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Draft Water Resource Management Plan 2013 EXECUTIVE REPORT Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water Pentwyn Road, Nelson, Treharris Mid Glamorgan CF46 6LY www.dwrcymru.com Dŵr Cymru Cyfyngedig, is a limited company registered in Wales No. 2366777 Page | i Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water dWRMP 2013 Executive Report Preface One of our most important functions is to maintain safe and reliable supplies of drinking water to our customers. We do this by looking ahead to gauge the effects of climate change and the likely future demands of our domestic and business customers alike, whilst balancing these against the water available for supply, even in the driest years. In recognition of how important this is for our customers, we publish a Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP) which describes how we will manage and develop our available water resources every 5 years. This document is Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water’s draft Water Resource Management Plan covering the period 2015 to 2040. It describes how we intend to maintain water supplies for all of our 1.3 million domestic and 110,000 business customers in Wales and those adjoining parts of England. We want our customers to receive a safe and reliable service which meets all their expectations, at a price they can afford. It is therefore important to us that our stakeholders and customers are involved in the key decisions affecting how we should achieve that goal. We want your views on whether our Plan reflects the appropriate balance between the financial, social and environmental costs of the options open to us in maintaining water supplies into the future.
