The rich cultural heritage outstanding country, helping you to 3 Wales – what will you discover? Culture & Heritage In Wales, patriotism, culture and heritage are held in high esteem. The three things overlap in many of the ways the country distinguishes itself. For example, a Welsh artist’s love of his country inspires his artwork (as was the case for painter Kyffin Williams and poet R S Thomas). Wales is often referred to as the ‘land of song’. It has many choirs, a lively theatre and drama scene, a love of live music and an annual National Eisteddfod (a major eight-day event where the public perform in music and poetry competitions). A large part of the Welsh culture and heritage is the language, which is spoken widely across Wales. St Fagans National Museum of History, Cardiff MYTHS & LEGENDS Storytelling is a big part of Welsh culture. Myths and legends have been passed down through the generations from as far back as the first millennium, both orally and through written tales and medieval manuscripts. From place names and landmarks to people and animals, many things in Wales have links to words of the past. Even the flag, Y Ddraig Goch (the red dragon), is steeped in legend. Owain Glyndwˆr, the last native Prince of Wales 4 Cruise Wales INDUSTRIAL The modern history of Wales is one of industrialisation. The demand for iron, coal and steel – and the availability of raw materials in the mineral-packed Welsh valleys and countryside – brought money, fame and modernity to the country. Enthusiasts can explore a disused coal mine at Big Pit. Manufacturing, fishing and agriculture have always played their part too, with Wales’ island status making it ideal for importing and exporting goods. Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon N AT U R E & WILDLIFE Wales’ terrain caters to millions of creatures and plants. In the skies fly red kites, ospreys, puffins, the world’s greatest concentration of Manx shearwaters, terns, waders, falcons and more, while the waters house many animals including dolphins, seals, otters, porpoises and turtles. Wales has some of the largest areas of flower-rich grassland, thousands of rare plants, Europe’s largest active sand dunes and some of the continent’s best temperate forests. Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire ACTIVITIES For thrillseekers and big kids, Wales is one giant adventure playground. Activity providers make the most of the undulating terrain, accessible coastline and varied weather. Popular activities include coasteering (jumping, climbing, scrambling and paddling along the coastline), caving, gorge walking, mountain biking, hiking, surfing, ziplining and sailing. There are quirky indoor activities too, such as trampolining in a cave at Bounce Below or watching busy bees at the National Beekeeping Centre Wales.

  • People, Places and Policy

    People, Places and Policy

    People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

  • HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH

    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH

    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH We all think of Aberystwyth as a seaside resort town. The presence of the ruined castle suggests a coloured medieval history, fraught with battles and land forever changing hands between powerful rulers. However, there was evidence of human activity in Aberystwyth long before this time, so we thought it might be worth going through the history of Aberyst- wyth right from the start. The earliest recorded human activity in Aberystwyth area dates back to around 11,500 years ago during the mesolithic period. The mesolithic period signalled the end of a long and arduous ice age, which saw most of the worlds surface covered in ice, leav- ing only the most hardy plants and animals to survive. As the ice retreaded in Mid Wales, this revealed large supplies of stone, including flint at Tan-Y-Bwlch which lies at the foot of Pen Dinas hill. There is strong evidence that the area was used for flint knapping, which involved the shaping of the flint deposits left behind by the retreating ice in order to make weapons for hunting for hunting animals. The flint could be shaped into sharp points, which could be used as primitive spears and other equipment, used by the hunter gatherer to obtain food. Around 3000 years ago there is evidence of an early Celtic ringfort on the site of Pen Dinas. The ringfort is a circular fortified set- tlement which was common throughout Northern Europe in the Bronze and Iron ages. What remains of this particular example at Aberystwyth is now located on private land on Pen Dinas, and can only be accessed by arrangement.

In the Cardigan district, finds of Armoricochitina reticulifera within strata referred to the clingani graptolite Biozone (morrisi Subzone), together with accessory species, indicate the Fungochitina spinifera chitinozoan Biozone, known from several Ordovician sections in northern England that span the base of the Ashgill Series. Tanuchitina ?bergstroemi, eponymous of the succeeding chitinozoan biozone, has tentatively been recovered from strata of Pleurograptus linearis graptolite Biozone age in the Cardigan area. The T. ?bergstroemi Biozone can also be correlated with the type Ashgill Series of northern England. Chitinozoans suggest that the widespread Welsh Basin anoxic–oxic transition at the base of the Nantmel Mudstones Formation in Wales, traditionally equated with the Caradoc–Ashgill boundary, is of Cautleyan (or younger Ashgill) age in the Cardigan area.
