0:03:47 > 0:03:52- "No, it's fine, we're used to it" - - so they went out to sea...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- ..just as they'd done - countless times.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- A wave must've come - - no-one knows exactly what happened.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- The boat overturned...

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- "'..knowing they're on the seabed.'"
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- So they weren't found right away? - It sends a shiver down your spine.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- It's a matter-of-fact response. - You also have a second letter.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- It's hard to believe that - the same person wrote them both.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- This was written after the funeral.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36- ..it is freshwater - rather than saltwater that collects.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- It's true, it's clear water.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- Less than two miles from the Llyn - shoreline, across Bardsey Sound...
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- ..and its treacherous currents - is Bardsey Island.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Enlli means a strong current.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- And yet, when it's tranquil here...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- ..it makes a person feel...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- ..as though he's been blessed.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- This is the fourth largest island - off the Welsh coast...
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- ..with a surface area of 440 acres.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- We're on sacred soil.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- This island has been - an important religious site...
0:17:29 > 0:17:34- ..ever since St Cadfan founded - a monastery here back in 516AD.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Ernest Evans - was brought up on Bardsey.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- He was one of the last pupils - to attend the school here.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- His knowledge of the island - is legendary.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- For an incomer like me, Ernest, - coming here is quite an adventure.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- This is home for you.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- Yes, it is, although I currently - only live here for half the year.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- As I've been travelling around...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- ..talking to people, - I've drawn a rough sketch...
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- ..a sort of map - and labelled the place names.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- We're here at the moment, aren't we?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Yes, that's Trwyn y Fynwent.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Cwch Enlli ran aground here - in 1826 or thereabouts.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- People drowned here.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48- Where do we come to after that?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Where do we come to after that?- - Traeth Ffynnon.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- There's a well on the side here - that never runs dry.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- You know you can go there.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- It's never short of water.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- You can depend on it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Ogo Gaseg, Ogo Barcud.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- Braich y Fwyell - is an interesting name.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- That's located down here.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Is it a particular shape?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Is it a particular shape?- - No, not really.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- There's a crack in the rock.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- As if an axe had cut into the stone?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Yes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Further on we come to Ogo Morlas.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- What's morlas in English? Pollock?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Coley.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Ah, yes. Pollock and coley - are closely related.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Then you come to Ogo Nant.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- According to Lewis Morris' chart...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- ..this is where ships docked.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- They called it Island Road.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- They'd carry pilgrims - from Ffynnon Mair.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- They'd land on the rocks and then - they carried them on to the beach.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- They used rowing boats back then.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- And further along?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- And further along?- - Ogo Trwyn yr Hwch.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- There are two of them - Trwyn - yr Hwch Fawr and Trwyn yr Hwch Fach.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- They're both situated there.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- And then you come to Porth Solfach.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- And in Porth Solfach...
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- ..could you land there?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- Yes, that's where - they used to land years ago.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- To the south of Solfach...
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- To the south of Solfach...- - Trwyn Dihiryd.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30- Trwyn Dihiryn?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Trwyn Dihiryn?- - No, Dihiryd.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- I'm sure - the name has changed over time.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Maybe Dihiryn became Dihiryd?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- The field at the top here - was called Baracs.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50- Men might've camped here while - they were building the lighthouse.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- That's one explanation.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- When was the lighthouse built?
0:20:55 > 0:20:56- 1821.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Maybe the workers camped there.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- There's nothing then until you come - to Ogo Lladron, right on the tip.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- It was called - Ogo Morgan at one time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- I don't know if it refers - to a pirate of that name.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Maybe he used it - to stash his stolen items.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Not nowadays...
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- ..but maybe at the time.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- There's very little afterwards - till you get to Trwyn Siani Penrhyn.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- There was once a cottage - in that sheltered area.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- It's possible - that Siani Penrhyn lived there.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Yes, she was probably - the last woman who lived there.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- What does the future hold - for such names on Bardsey?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Very few use them nowadays.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- People who come to live here - put their own names on them.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Do they really? What kind of names?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Especially for the land.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- They call the wetlands the Badlands.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- What's the name - you're familiar with?
0:22:07 > 0:22:08- Y Weirglodd.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Weirglodd Ty Pell, Weirglodd - Christy, Weirglodd Plas Bach.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Each farm had its own wetlands.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Is there a danger - that these new names...
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- ..are going to - replace the names you remember?
0:22:24 > 0:22:25- No.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- No.- - Not if you remain obstinate!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- We're still here - and we still use them.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- For many years, the island - was part of the Newborough Estate.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Farms were created - and when residents had to choose...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- ..between - a new landing area and a chapel...
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- ..they chose a place of worship.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- But that wasn't the only - significant thing that happened.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- It was also a tradition back then - to elect a king of Bardsey.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Four of them are known to us today.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- The last king, Love Pritchard, - was quite a character.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- He declared that Bardsey - remained a neutral power in WWI.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- There's certainly a feeling - of isolation here, of peace.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Something holy, perhaps.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- When you sit on the high ground - and survey the view...
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- ..the clamour of the modern world - seems far, far away.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- It's easy for someone to feel...
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- ..as privileged as any king - on the face of the planet.
