  • September 2019 Newsletter
    Welcome to September 2019 Newsletter A bumper issue, some items received held over to October, thank you to all contributors, Jane Walk Leaders Training - Dafydd Jones, Chairman A very successful and informative Training session for 18 Walk Leaders was held at the Royal Victoria Hotel Llanberis on the evening of 2 Sept, followed by a very good meal in the restaurant. The evening was organised by Roy and ably supported by a detailed and informative talk by Richard Hirst. The main themes were preparation, confidence and enthusiasm. [1]Roy outlined the importance of communication via Facebook, Twitter and the Eryri website. He was so enthusiastic about the level of activity on our Facebook page, nearly 300 active contributors against a membership total of about 200. It is certainly the way forward in planning and recording all our walks as well as a very efficient way of getting messages to our members about our walks, changes and cancellations. The posting of photographs of our walks is an essential part of our advertising and aids the successes of our walking programme recruitment. Roy reminded all to send their walks for the period January to June 2020 to him by 14 October 2019. [2] Richard then outlined his take on Walk Leaders responsibilities. His theme covered the Duty of Care, weather, kit, confidence and health. We had a very active debate about the need for careful planning, reconnoitring walks, the kit we should have [dependent on the grade of walk], fitness and health issues, weather forecasts [he advised us to check XC Weather and Magic Seaweed as well as the usual Met office forecasts] and the need to include paper maps in our kit as well as our fully charged phones and GPS kit.

It is not surprising therefore that many millions each year visit Eryri to enjoy the scenery and to participate in outdoor activities. Eryri supports rural communities, their future and the future of the Welsh language which is under threat. The low wage economy and high cost of housing exacerbated by pressures from in-migration together with a shortage of affordable housing is driving young people away from their native communities. Climate change and the implications for people, plants and animals and our response to this threat pose a real challenge to the ‘Special Qualities’ of Eryri. Working with the Eryri Forum and other stakeholders the Authority has carried out widespread public consultation on the key strategies that underpin the policies in the Eryri Local Development Plan. The Authority believes that the Eryri Local Development Plan provides a sound basis for meeting its statutory purposes as well as promoting the social and economic well being of its communities.

  • Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 3 Historic Environment May 2017
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 3 Historic Environment May 2017 Background Paper 3: Historic Environment – May 2017 1. Introduction 1.1 The Snowdonia National Park cannot be separated from its people. The Park is not an area of wilderness but is a combination of a landscape that has been modified, with communities and a culture created by its inhabitants over a period of thousands of years. Its cultural heritage encompasses the all human activity within its confines, dating from the prehistoric up until the present day. 1.2 The historic environment of Snowdonia has a wealth of archaeological remains ranging from individual sites, many of which are Scheduled Ancient Monuments, to more extensive areas where the landscape bears witness to human activities and habitation over the last 6,000 years. These can be considered to be part of the “hard” cultural heritage of the National Park 1.3 Snowdonia is a stronghold of Welsh culture. The Welsh language is the most obvious part of the “soft” cultural heritage in the Park as is the inherent Welsh culture. Some 58% of the population speaks Welsh and historically the percentage was substantially higher. The different dialects used add to the wealth of the area. The language is the unbroken link between the past and the present. There is a Welsh name on every mountain, hill, stream and river. The names of our farms, fields, streets and mansion houses, cottages and towns all form a part of rich cultural inheritance. 1.4 The literature of Wales has its deep roots in the Mabinogi, the nation’s medieval literature masterpiece, which has several stories located within the Park boundaries.
