-the patron saint of Wales!

-I've climbed to the top of the hill

-above St David's Cathedral...

-..and the remains

-of the Bishop's Palace on the left.

-Back in the sixth century,

-David had a monastery on this site.

-This was Ty Ddewi -

-the house of Dewi.

-That's how St David's

-got its Welsh name - Tyddewi.

-David lived a simple life

-of hard work and prayer.

-All he ate was bread

-and all he drank was water.

-After his death,

-many stories grew around him...

-..and he became

-the patron saint of Wales.

-Pilgrims came here to remember him

-and that's still true today.

-In 1181, under Bishop Bernard, work

-to build a new cathedral here began.

-Parts of that building

-can still be seen today.

-A high wall enclosed the cathedral.

-That wall featured four gatehouses.

-Only the Tower Gatehouse survives.

-Next to the gatehouse

-stands the Bell Tower.

-Join me after the break,

-when we travel up the coast...

-..to visit two old mills

-in Fishguard...

-..and to meet a Welsh learner

-from Newport.

-Given that no-one had lived

-in the old mill before...

-..how did you divide the space

-into rooms suitable for a family?

-We had to keep the walls...

-..and retain

-the mill's original footprint.

-We thought long and hard

-about how best to divide the rooms.

-We used timber partitions...

-..rather than concrete

-or stone walls.

-Timber takes up less space.

-It's also warmer

-and has some character.

-We needed three bedrooms

-and that's what we have.

-It works really well.

-The children have big bedrooms

-and they're happy.

-These were the original beams.

-We only managed to salvage

-five beams from the old mill.

-The rest were rotten.

-We wanted to put

-some of the old timber in here.

-To convert it into a home...

-..the old beams

-make the place feel more homely.

-We collected lots of items

-before we moved in.

-Things like that knit the whole

-project together perfectly.

-You can ruin something

-if you're too elaborate.

-The attractive thing

-about this property...

-..is that it's attractive

-in and of itself.

-Back in the house, Aled goes to look

-for Iwan and Carys, the children.

-You walk from one lounge

-into another lounge.

-Again, it's the width of the house.

-The back garden's there

-and the front garden's that way.

-This staircase

-leads to two more bedrooms.

-The rest of this floor

-belongs to Iwan and Carys.

-Is this house

-better than your old house?

-Yes, it's much bigger

-and Iwan and I have a bedroom each.

-Everything's just the way

-I wanted it to be.

-Do you need anything else

-in this room?

-A television.

-You have a double bed!

-You could get lost

-in such a huge bed.

-Yes, Mam and Dad

-can't find me some mornings!

-What makes this house

-better than your old house?

-There's lots more room for us...

-..and I don't

-have to share a room with Carys.

-You have a garden too, of course.

-You have a garden too, of course.

-

-Yes - a massive garden.

-This room is great.

-I'm not sure if I prefer this

-or your sister's room.

-It's time to enjoy the house,

-rather than work on it.

-That's the plan!

-We're going to have

-lots of barbecues in the garden.

-It'll be great.

-It has much more

-natural character...

-..than we could have given to it.

-This is a wonderful location.

-The whole area is stunning.

-We want to enjoy the lifestyle

-that comes with living here.

-Some seven miles from Fishguard...

-..is the seaside town

-of Newport, or Trefdraeth.

-Someone who's moved there

-and learned Welsh is Susan Carey.

-She was a finalist in the 2014 Welsh

-Learner Of The Year Competition.

-I'm Susan Carey and I live

-in Newport, Pembrokeshire.

-I come from London

-but I've lived here for 30 years.

-I adore the sea

-and the sea is lovely here.

-There's a lovely beach here too.

-That's what attracted us to Newport.

-I have four horses, so I spend

-a lot of time looking after them.

-They're really sweet

-and I like them a lot.

-I ride them when I have time.

-I enjoy gardening...

-..and I listen to Say Something

-In Welsh when I'm in the garden.

-I really enjoy living here.

-The people here

-are really kind and warm.

-Everything here is done

-through the medium of Welsh.

-This community

-is really important to me.

-I didn't want to force anyone

-to turn to English for me.

-I started to learn Welsh properly

-six years ago.

-I realized that I hadn't

-done enough up to that point...

-..so I did everything possible

-to learn Welsh.

-I'm a member of Merched y Wawr

-in Dinas and in Newport.

-I organize Y Clonc Mawr...

-..a walk for Welsh learners

-and Welsh speakers alike.

-We all speak Welsh

-and it's good practice.

-I also write a column for learners

-in the Clebran community newspaper.

-I want to keep it fairly simple...

-..to try to encourage people

-to read Welsh.

-I get a lot of support.

-I'm very grateful

-to the local people for that.

-It makes a huge difference to me.

-I'm part

-of a Welsh-speaking community.

-I don't think it's easy

-to learn Welsh...

-..but I'm lucky because

-I can speak it with local people.

-Roger, my husband,

-is learning Russian...

-..but he can't find anyone locally

-who speaks Russian.

-I can pick up the phone

-and speak to someone in Welsh.

-Yes, there are difficulties...

-..but I view them as interesting

-rather than problematic.

-I like mutations and the like.

-I don't always get them right...

-..but I do like them.

-I like the differences

-between English and Welsh.

-Let's return to the Fishguard area

-to visit Tregwynt...

-..an old woollen mill

-which is still working today.

-Shan Cothi met Eifion Griffiths,

-the mill's owner, a while back.

-Five miles from Fishguard

-is the village of Granston...

-..which is part

-of the community of Pencaer.

-North of Granston

-is a special building...

-..which has certainly

-put this area on the map.

-Eifion, we're surrounded

-by a sea of colour.

-The mill itself

-has a very interesting history...

-..dating back to 1912.

-Yes, it's almost a century old.

-Next year is the centenary.

-My grandfather

-bought the mill in 1912.

-He came with his wife

-and they started a family.

-By natural progression...

-..it's passed to you

-down the generations.

-Well, I'm here!

-Do you enjoy your job?

-Yes. I've been here since 1979.

-I was an architect before that.

-I had the chance to come back

-and I thought I'd give it a try.

-I came back and here I am.

-That period

-must have been exciting...

-..because you had to put

-your own stamp on the mill...

-..and transform things.

-The manufacturing

-has stayed the same...

-..but a lot has changed

-in terms of selling...

-..since the advent of the Internet.

-Tadcu used to sell

-at the market in Fishguard...

-..or in Haverfordwest, maybe.

-That was the furthest he'd travel.

-But we now sell as far as Japan.

-But we now sell as far as Japan.

-

-All over the world.
