-We're on a journey along -the spectacular Llyn Peninsula... | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
-..in search of the names, people and -stories that litter these shores. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
-This is the remarkable story -of the Welsh coastline. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
-We travel from Porth Fesyg -in the parish of Llangwnnadl... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
-..along the Llyn coastline... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
-..before we cross -to the sacred Bardsey Island. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
-We're in an area -of outstanding natural beauty... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
-..heading to a portion of land -that Cynan referred to... | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-..as Pendraw'r Byd (Land's End). | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-Bardsey Island beckons us... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-..to embark on a pilgrimage, -as generations before us have done. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
-Walking the shores, -it's hard not to lose yourself... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
-..in the area's beauty, -history and incredible stories. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-Some claim -Porth Fesyg gets its name... | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-..from the Lafesyg ship -which came to shore... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-..laden with oats, meat and butter. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-The ship was looted... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
-..and its contents were taken -to a nearby house called Y Badell. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
-Workers there -were turning the soil in the garden. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
-It's mentioned in a verse. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
-"I went to Y Badell -to turn the soil | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
-"I had a flummery for lunch | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
-"With lashings -of porridge and butter | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-"And beef from Porth Lafesyg." | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-We've researched -up until the mid-18th century... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-..and found no record -of a ship called Lafesyg... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-..coming to shore here. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
-The book Enwau Afonydd -A Nentydd Cymru suggests... | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
-..that the name -means something dirty or polluted... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-..referring to a small stream -running down to the beach. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
-However, the beach itself -is a place of beauty. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
-Hand in hand with beauty -comes the perilous sea. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
-1933 was -a year of heartbreak in the area. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-I'm in Porth Widlin to learn more. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-So this small bay is Porth Widlin? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-Yes, this is it. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
-Yes, this is it. - -It's a hazardous shoreline... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
-..for any vessel. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
-..for any vessel. - -Yes, it is. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-Luckily, a disaster -was averted in Porth Cychod... | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
-..in Tudweiliog. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-Two men went out in a boat -on a choppy sea and lost their oars. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
-They were far from shore -and they were carried to Ireland. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
-With no oars or anything. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
-But a tragic story... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-..is associated with Porth Widlin. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-..is associated with Porth Widlin. - -Yes, it was September. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-There's a farm about two miles -from here called Tir Dyrys. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
-Three brothers -out of five siblings... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-..made their way down here. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-Trefgraig's maid came out and said -to them, "Where are you going?" | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
-They said, -"We're going to check our nets... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-"..to see if we've caught anything." | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-She said, "Don't go out today, -the white horses are raging." | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-"No, it's fine, we're used to it" - -so they went out to sea... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
-..just as they'd done -countless times. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-A wave must've come - -no-one knows exactly what happened. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-The boat overturned... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
-..and was recovered -over there in Porth Fesyg. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
-What happened after that? | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-I've a letter here... | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
-..written by the boys' aunt. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-The writing is slightly illegible. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
-This is what she says. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
-"About one o'clock, the Gelli boy -went to look for driftwood. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
-"He saw a boat -filled with water on the shore... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-"..and a body, face down inside it." | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-Someone was trapped in the boat. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-Someone was trapped in the boat. - -"Dozens of people... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-"..flocked to the shoreline -to search until nightfall. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
-"'Oh,' said Dads, 'It's hard -to return without them... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-"'..knowing they're on the seabed.'" | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
-So they weren't found right away? -It sends a shiver down your spine. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-It's a matter-of-fact response. -You also have a second letter. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
-It's hard to believe that -the same person wrote them both. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-This was written after the funeral. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-It's a detailed description. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-The three -were transported to the cemetery... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
-..on the back of a coal wagon. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
-I found parts of the letter -strangely amusing. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
-It was followed -by 26 small motorcars. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-She also describes -what people were wearing. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-"A new black hat from Bon-Marche," -Pwllheli's best shop at the time. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:33 | |
-It's certainly of its time. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
-It's certainly of its time. - -Yes, it is. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
-The clothes and the vocabulary. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-The three brothers -are buried together. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-Yes, I've a record -and a picture here from Y Cymro. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
-"The three audacious young men... | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
-"..were taken by the sea. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-"They set out innocently... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-"..unaware of their impending doom." | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
-"..unaware of their impending doom." - -That's their grave's inscription. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-It emphasizes -the dangers of the sea. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-If the sea's made up its mind, -that's the end of it. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-Yes, it's all over then. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
-The coastal path leads us to -the tranquillity of Porth Ferin... | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-..where St Merin's Church -once stood. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-Rumour has it... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-..that the church was looted -by thieves attacking from the sea. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-They rushed back to their boats, one -of them clutching the church bell. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:46 | |
-He tried to jump over the ravine -beneath the tree. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-He fell head-first -into this small brook. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-That's why this exact spot is called -Llam y Lleidr (Thief's Leap). | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
-Many leaps westwards -and we reach Porth Dinas. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-Wil Evans moored his boat here -for many years. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-He's passionate about his locality. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-I know you're very fond -of collecting names, Wil. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-This is great. How many are here? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:22 | |
-This is great. How many are here? - -About 150, I'd say. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-There are many more, but those -are the ones in living memory. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-Let's start -with the rock in the distance. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-Yes, that's Maen Mellt. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
-I don't know if it's true but it's -claimed that it attracts lightning. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
-I believe it's true, -although it's a great story. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
-Looking down the list, -some names jump out. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-What's the story -behind Ogof Lliain Glas? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-A ship that came to shore -with a blue sail. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-The sail was lost -at Trwyn Glas in the distance. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-Ogof Newry is close by too. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
-Many of these names are derived... | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-..from items -that have been washed ashore. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Ogof Pren Coch (Redwood Cave) -and so on. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-What about Trwyn Rhwyda? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-That's where they'd dry the herring. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-There's a field nearby -called Trwyn Rhwyda. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-People put herring on the soil -as a form of fertilizer. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-Yes, that what they did years ago. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-All these shores -have been labelled... | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
-..but this little corner... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-It's familiar territory... | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-..so there are -far more names listed. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |

-That's an interesting story. - -Who's Sion? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
-I don't know! | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-He was before my time! | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-That's how names are derived. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
-Yes, place names and first names. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-There's a panoramic view -of the peninsula here. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-There's an interesting place called -Pulpud Pedr (Peter's Pulpit) here. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
-These were playing fields years ago. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-It was a place of revelry -and wonder when we were children. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:36 | |
-It makes you want to pray. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-Pulpud Pedr -is in a very dangerous setting. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
-Yes, not many people know -of Pulpud Pedr. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
-It's an interesting place. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-I'm sure -you've spent countless hours here. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-We could sing and shout here -and no-one could hear us. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-We'd look out to sea, -face the waves and Ireland. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-What if you had to -leave this place behind? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-I couldn't. I couldn't move inland. -I've lived here all my life. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-There's saltwater in my veins. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
-There's saltwater in my veins. - -I'm sure there is. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-As we head to Bardsey Island, -like many pilgrims before us... | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
-..we reach an area once called -Cymydfaen (Commote of the Rock). | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-And here it is. Maen Melyn Llyn -(Llyn's Yellow Rock). | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-It's claimed that every stone -mentioned in Revelations... | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
-..can be found in Llyn. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
-"The foundations -of the city walls... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-"..were decorated -with every kind of precious stone. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
-"The first foundation was jasper, -the second sapphire... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-"..the third agate, -the fourth emerald." | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
-And so on. -It goes on to list 12 stones. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
-The first stone, jasper, -is Llyn's yellow stone, in part. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-There was a jasper quarry not too -far from here in Llanllawen Fawr. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
-The colour of the stone -and its name... | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
-..has been derived -from this yellow lichen. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
-It's incredibly striking. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-It's a very unusual shape. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
-It's stood here since time -immemorial, overlooking the waves... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
-..and Bardsey Island. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-One can only imagine -the pilgrims' relief... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-..of arriving here, seeing this... | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
-..and knowing that their -arduous journey was almost over. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |

-..Porth y Gloch, Cadair Cawr, and -then you're back in Porth Meudy. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:51 | |
-I'm sure I've forgotten many more... | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-..but some names have been lost. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
-I'm a stranger to these parts, -so these views are breath-taking. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:02 | |
-Are they still a wonder to you? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-It's different -every time you come here... | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-..depending on the wind. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
-It affects everything differently. -You have to know when to come. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
-It's all about the timing! | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
-It's all about the timing! - -You go by the tide, not the clock. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
-Pilgrims have left their mark -on the shoreline leading to Bardsey. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
-From Cuff Beuno in Clynnog, -where they kept their gifts... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-..past Cae Eisteddfa in Pistyll -where they'd treat their ailments. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
-Then you come to -Llangwnnadl Church... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
-..which trebled in size -to accommodate weary travellers... | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
-..and you reach -the ruins of Capel Mair... | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-..situated near the cliff's edge. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-In a ravine beneath Capel Mair... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-..steps have been carved -into the stone... | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
-..leading to Ffynnon Fair, which is -situated in a perilous spot. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:21 | |
-Though the sea's waves -wash over the well... | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-..it is freshwater -rather than saltwater that collects. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-It's true, it's clear water. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-Less than two miles from the Llyn -shoreline, across Bardsey Sound... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:56 | |
-..and its treacherous currents -is Bardsey Island. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-Enlli means a strong current. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-And yet, when it's tranquil here... | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
-..it makes a person feel... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
-..as though he's been blessed. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-This is the fourth largest island -off the Welsh coast... | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-..with a surface area of 440 acres. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-We're on sacred soil. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-This island has been -an important religious site... | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-..ever since St Cadfan founded -a monastery here back in 516AD. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
-They also say -that 20,000 saints are buried here. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:40 | |
-Ernest Evans -was brought up on Bardsey. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-He was one of the last pupils -to attend the school here. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-His knowledge of the island -is legendary. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
-For an incomer like me, Ernest, -coming here is quite an adventure. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-This is home for you. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-Yes, it is, although I currently -only live here for half the year. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
-As I've been travelling around... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-..talking to people, -I've drawn a rough sketch... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-..a sort of map -and labelled the place names. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
-We're here at the moment, aren't we? | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-Yes, that's Trwyn y Fynwent. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-Cwch Enlli ran aground here -in 1826 or thereabouts. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-People drowned here. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-Where do we come to after that? | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
-Where do we come to after that? - -Traeth Ffynnon. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-There's a well on the side here -that never runs dry. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-You know you can go there. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
-It's never short of water. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-You can depend on it. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
-Ogo Gaseg, Ogo Barcud. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-Braich y Fwyell -is an interesting name. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
-That's located down here. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-Is it a particular shape? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-Is it a particular shape? - -No, not really. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-There's a crack in the rock. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-As if an axe had cut into the stone? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-Yes. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-Further on we come to Ogo Morlas. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-What's morlas in English? Pollock? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-Coley. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
-Ah, yes. Pollock and coley -are closely related. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
-Then you come to Ogo Nant. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-According to Lewis Morris' chart... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-..this is where ships docked. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-They called it Island Road. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
-They'd carry pilgrims -from Ffynnon Mair. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
-They'd land on the rocks and then -they carried them on to the beach. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
-They used rowing boats back then. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
-And further along? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
-And further along? - -Ogo Trwyn yr Hwch. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
-There are two of them - Trwyn -yr Hwch Fawr and Trwyn yr Hwch Fach. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-They're both situated there. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
-And then you come to Porth Solfach. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-And in Porth Solfach... | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-..could you land there? | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-Yes, that's where -they used to land years ago. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-To the south of Solfach... | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
-To the south of Solfach... - -Trwyn Dihiryd. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
-Trwyn Dihiryn? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:30 | |
-Trwyn Dihiryn? - -No, Dihiryd. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-I'm sure -the name has changed over time. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
-Maybe Dihiryn became Dihiryd? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
-The field at the top here -was called Baracs. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-Men might've camped here while -they were building the lighthouse. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
-That's one explanation. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
-When was the lighthouse built? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
-1821. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:56 | |
-Maybe the workers camped there. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-There's nothing then until you come -to Ogo Lladron, right on the tip. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:07 | |
-It was called -Ogo Morgan at one time. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
-I don't know if it refers -to a pirate of that name. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
-Maybe he used it -to stash his stolen items. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
-Not nowadays... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-..but maybe at the time. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
-There's very little afterwards -till you get to Trwyn Siani Penrhyn. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-There was once a cottage -in that sheltered area. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
-It's possible -that Siani Penrhyn lived there. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
-Yes, she was probably -the last woman who lived there. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-What does the future hold -for such names on Bardsey? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
-Very few use them nowadays. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
-People who come to live here -put their own names on them. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
-Do they really? What kind of names? | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-Especially for the land. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
-They call the wetlands the Badlands. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
-What's the name -you're familiar with? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-Y Weirglodd. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:08 | |
-Weirglodd Ty Pell, Weirglodd -Christy, Weirglodd Plas Bach. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-Each farm had its own wetlands. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
-Is there a danger -that these new names... | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-..are going to -replace the names you remember? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
-No. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:25 | |
-No. - -Not if you remain obstinate! | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
-We're still here -and we still use them. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
-For many years, the island -was part of the Newborough Estate. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:39 | |
-Farms were created -and when residents had to choose... | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-..between -a new landing area and a chapel... | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-..they chose a place of worship. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
-But that wasn't the only -significant thing that happened. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
-It was also a tradition back then -to elect a king of Bardsey. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
-Four of them are known to us today. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-The last king, Love Pritchard, -was quite a character. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
-He declared that Bardsey -remained a neutral power in WWI. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
-There's certainly a feeling -of isolation here, of peace. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
-Something holy, perhaps. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
-When you sit on the high ground -and survey the view... | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
-..the clamour of the modern world -seems far, far away. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
-It's easy for someone to feel... | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
-..as privileged as any king -on the face of the planet. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
