  • The Development of Key Characteristics of Welsh Island Cultural Identity and Sustainable Tourism in Wales
    SCIENTIFIC CULTURE, Vol. 3, No 1, (2017), pp. 23-39 Copyright © 2017 SC Open Access. Printed in Greece. All Rights Reserved. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.192842 THE DEVELOPMENT OF KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF WELSH ISLAND CULTURAL IDENTITY AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM IN WALES Brychan Thomas, Simon Thomas and Lisa Powell Business School, University of South Wales Received: 24/10/2016 Accepted: 20/12/2016 Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper considers the development of key characteristics of Welsh island culture and sustainable tourism in Wales. In recent years tourism has become a significant industry within the Principality of Wales and has been influenced by changing conditions and the need to attract visitors from the global market. To enable an analysis of the importance of Welsh island culture a number of research methods have been used, including consideration of secondary data, to assess the development of tourism, a case study analysis of a sample of Welsh islands, and an investigation of cultural tourism. The research has been undertaken in three distinct stages. The first stage assessed tourism in Wales and the role of cultural tourism and the islands off Wales. It draws primarily on existing research and secondary data sources. The second stage considered the role of Welsh island culture taking into consideration six case study islands (three with current populations and three mainly unpopulated) and their physical characteristics, cultural aspects and tourism. The third stage examined the nature and importance of island culture in terms of sustainable tourism in Wales. This has involved both internal (island) and external (national and international) influences.

INTRODUCTION Seasearch is a project that aims to describe seabed scenery, habitats and communities using volunteer divers. The project is managed by a partnership of organisations including the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and the country conservation agencies (in Wales, the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW)). After each dive, divers are asked to fill in a form detailing the type of seabed encountered - and the dominant species or groups of species found. This report summarises information collected by Seasearch volunteers around the coast of North Wales between 1995 and 1999. One hundred and eight dives were carried out at 66 sites by 42 divers during this time. Some of the sites are popular dive sites, whilst others were specifically chosen to target sites about which little was known. One notable find during a Seasearch dive on a previously undived site was the rare mantis shrimp Rissoides desmaresti. This was the first (and to date, only) record of this species in Wales.

  • Log Daisy's First Time Round Anglesey 25 to 26 May2013
    Log Yacht: Daisy’s First Time Round Anglesey Dates: 25 to 26 May 2013 Photo by: Mike Hollingsworth Log by Chris Jones Photos by Gordon MacKellar Introduction Circumnavigating things has an inexplicable attraction to yachtsmen. For some the world alone is not enough, it has to be a first or the fastest or by the hardest route. For others dashing round a few buoys trying to be faster than the competition is an end in itself. Our ambitions were somewhere in between the extremes:- To sail a small boat around the navigationally challenging island of Anglesey in North Wales. The waters around Anglesey are renowned for their tidal streams of up to 8 knots, through the notorious rock strewn Swellies in the Menai Straits, the mighty tide races, off the bird watcher's paradise of South Stack and the Skerries Rocks off Carmel Head the island’s north western point where the tides turn from north-south to east-west. There are many delightful sheltered bays. But they may not provide shelter when and where you need it. Many are also strewn with some of the oldest and hardest rocks in Britain and backed by storm beaches testifying to the great forces nature used to make and shape Anglesey. Our first thoughts were to sail round in a Drascome Lugger. A night passage at low water slack was my introduction to the Swellies. Two wetsuit clad swimmers clambering over the Swellies Rock proved this was a place for serious sportsmen and adrenalin junkies. Our passage was tamer, following the Caernarfon Harbour Trust's excellent directions, advice and chartlet on a calm night made the passage seem straight forward.

  • Anglesey Circumnavigation 2006
    Anglesey Circumnavigation 2006 “Well, I don’t think I’ll be doing that again”, and this time I meant what I said… Back in the autumn of 2005, I completed the circumnavigation of Anglesey by sea kayak in a time of 11:30. It was a long day and I remember saying, as we walked back up the beach, that I would not be doing that again in a hurry. I also remember thinking on the journey home, that there was 30-40 minutes to come off the time. It was a figure that was to stick in the back of my mind for the following year. That’s why, on a September morning, the four of us found ourselves standing, rather bleary eyed, on Borthwen beach before sunrise. For once I was early and so we stood around chatting and wondering when the sun would rise and where the water was. After my 2005 attempt I was disappointed to hear some doubting comments, from a few peevish local ‘experts’, over the validity of my time. This year there would be no doubt. I had decided to have two witnesses for this effort; two trustworthy, reliable, reasonably well known and beyond reproach individuals. Unfortunately they wouldn’t get out of bed so early and so I had to make do with Mike Webb and Aled Williams from Rockpool Kayaks. Mike was proudly showing off his new video camera with its all singing and dancing low-light setting. Unfortunately the designer had neglected to illuminate the buttons. We never got to see how it fared in the dark as Mike could not see enough to switch it on! Soon it was time to leave.

Although now in serious decline, the coal industry was fundamental in shaping the development of modern Wales, particularly in the south. For a brief period of time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was arguably also Britain’s greatest single export and Welsh ‘steam coal’ powered the industrial and transport revolutions taking place across the world. The coal industry bestrode Wales like a behemoth. Most of the coal was exported and therefore the coal trade was by necessity largely a maritime trade. Both South and North Wales had separate coal industries. The coalfields of North Wales were in the north-east. The South Wales coalfield extended across a wide area, from Abersychan in the east to St Bride’s Bay in the west.
