-The Pembrokeshire coast's beauty -is breathtaking. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
-It is a land steeped in history and -has a wealth of nature and folklore. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:17 | |
-The aim of this series -is to explore the coast's names... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
-..to unlock this region's history -and preserve it for posterity. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
-The final episode of the series -takes us from Angle... | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
-..passed St Govan's Head and Tenby, -towards Amroth... | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
-..on the border between -Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
-This is ancient territory. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
-Its chapels, castles and abbeys... | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-..are testament to centuries of -both civilization and warfare alike. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-Abstract reminders of the past... | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
-..are the names -people have coined for places... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-..that echo a way of life, along -with some strange linguistic whims. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:17 | |
-The bay situated at the corner of -the peninsula is called Angle Bay. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
-Angle simply refers to land -positioned at an angle. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
-In English, -you sometimes see a word... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-..that has lost the N or the A -at its root, if it follows AN or A. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
-There are records of this region -being called Nangle... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-..meaning at an angle. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
-Another example is orange, -from the Sanskrit naranga. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
-The N is missing, -leaving 'an orange'. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
-Curiously, in terms of the Welsh -language, the English word adder... | 0:01:47 | 0:01:52 | |
-..originated from -the Old English naedrre... | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-..and has the same derivation -as 'neidr' in Welsh.. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
-But the N -has disappeared to become an adder. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
-From circumnavigating -the peninsula... | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-..the first substantial bay -is Freshwater West... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-..where the Pembrokeshire -Beach Food Company is situated... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-..providing traditional local fare. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-We're in Freshwater West... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
-..known locally as Fresh West. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
-Fresh East is further up the coast. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-These types of names are commonplace -as they denote areas... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
-..where people approaching from -the sea can collect fresh water. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-They're collecting seaweed today. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-They are maintaining Pembrokeshire's -most famous tradition. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-Laverbread -is synonymous with Pembrokeshire. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-Its main constituent -is laver seaweed... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-..which grows in pockets -in Freshwater West. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-Have you collected seaweed before? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-No This is my first time today. -I've enjoyed it. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-It surprised me -how much variety was on offer... | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
-..and how healthy it is as a food. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-People already know -about the benefits. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-Laver seaweed -is full of iron and iodine. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-Recent research has found that -it also contains traces of copper... | 0:03:21 | 0:03:27 | |
-..zinc and selenium too. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-You'd think, by looking at it, -that it wouldn't taste very nice. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-I've tried experimenting -with the ingredient... | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-..within other recipes. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
-If you want -to give it to children... | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-..they're not going to eat it -if they see it. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-But hide it in mashed potato... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-..and you can ensure they're getting -their vitamins and minerals. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
-What have you prepared? We're about -to have a romantic little picnic! | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
-This is a recipe I concocted. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-I served this when I ran -the Sara Bara cafe in Tregaron. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-I was trying to prepare -a traditionally Welsh recipe... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-..made with Welsh produce, -so I added cockles too. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-It turned out well, so I thought -you could try some for yourself. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
-Let me try one then. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
-Here we go, Hazel. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-There's a lot of pressure -on you now. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-Ooh, very nice! | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-As we travel southwards... | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-..Norman, Flemish, Viking, English -as well as Welsh influences... | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
-..are a diverse combination. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
-Along this stretch of coastline, -you will find Crickmail Down... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-..and Travellan Downs - names -that are a mix of Welsh and English. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-This remarkable natural archway... | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-..has only an English name - -The Green Bridge. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
-Other names are more complicated. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-Further along are the Elegug Stacks. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-Two enormous columns of limestone. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-One stands at 120 feet, -the other is taller still... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-..a giant at 150 feet. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-It's possible that the name... | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-..is a combination -of Welsh and Norse... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-..because elegug -is a local name for the guillemot... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
-..which is -nowhere to be seen here today. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
-But at least -it's left its mark on the rock. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-Further along the path... | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-..and we're greeted by -this dramatic crevice. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-It's called Huntsman's Leap, -Sam Yr Heliwr in Welsh. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
-A huntsman -leaped across it on horseback... | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-..and when he looked back -over his shoulder... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-..and realized his feat... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-..the sheer shock of it killed him. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-Of all the stories about coastal -names being derived from saints... | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
-..my favourite by far is St Govan's. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-Some say he was a thief, -others say she was a woman. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-She was called Cofen, the wife -of one of the Welsh princes. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
-Others say -he was none other than Gawain... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-..King Arthur's best friend. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
-Look at that. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
-It's been built into the rock. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-Yes, that's right. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-I hope to get closer to the truth -with Dudley Jones. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-Look at those. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
-It's a wonderful location. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-This remarkable spot... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-..is a dwelling -nestling in the rock itself. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-Yes, it's very special. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-I was looking at the map and saw St -Govan's Head and St Govan's Chapel. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:17 | |
-Who was Saint Govan? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
-He was an Irishman. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
-He was a monk -living at Wexford Abbey... | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
-..in Ireland. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
-He came here -and was set upon by pirates. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
-Was he really? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-Yes. He came into the bay -and hid in the rock behind us. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
-The cliff opened up and left -a fissure big enough to hide in. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-Once the pirates left, -the cliff opened again. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-It was a miracle. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
-Yes, it was. Govan stayed in this -region for the rest of his life. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:58 | |
-There are legends -relating to the man as well. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
-Some misdemeanours -with the bell and so on. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-The Bell Rock, as it's called... | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-..is that rock that you see -at the side of the church. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
-The bell, given to St Govan -by the local people as a gift... | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
-..was stolen by the pirates, -according to the legend. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-But the angels returned it. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-Another miracle! | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-Another miracle! - -In order to keep it safe... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
-..it was encased in the rock. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-Do they hold -religious services here? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-Yes. A service is held once a year. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-Weddings also take place here. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-People claim -that St Govan's remains... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-..can still be seen in the rock. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
-Dudley has set me -a rather strange challenge. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-So this is where he came, Dudley? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-Yes, this is where he hid... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-..when he was set upon -by pirates from Lundy. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-These grooves look like ribs. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-Legend has it -that they are St Govan's ribs. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-If you can fit into that groove... | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-..turn around and make a wish... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-..then your wish will come true. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
-I can't even fit into it. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-I'm too stuck to turn around! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-The wish will remain a wish, then! | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-Maybe another day. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-St Govan -has one more trick up his sleeve. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-The steps leading to the chapel -play tricks with your mind. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
-The number of steps you count always -varies each time you climb them! | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
-How many did you count, Dudley? | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-74 this time. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-75 on the way down. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-I counted 77. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
-I counted 77. - -Did you? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
-I'm not joking! | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
-A little further along the coast... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
-..and we reach the stackpool. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-The Stack or Stack Rock was the -old name on the rock in the bay... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-..though it's referred to -as Star Rock on maps. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-Stackpool literally means -the pool near the stack. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-The pool is Broadhaven Bay itself. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-These are a series of man-made lakes -within the Stackpole Estate. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-Their official name -is the Bosherston Lakes... | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
-..but they are known locally -as the lily ponds. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
-It's a prime location in which to -see the white lily in all its glory. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
-The lakes -house a diversity of species... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-..from plants and birds... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-..to fish and animals. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-Hundreds of thousands of visitors -come here each year... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-..to marvel at the area's -beauty and tranquillity. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |

-Our journey along Pembrokeshire's -south coast continues... | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-..as we head towards Barafundle Bay. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-It's hard to find -the root of this strange name. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-Some say it's the name of a ship. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
-Others claim that 'bara' -is Norse for waves... | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-..and presume that association. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
-Whatever the meaning, this is one of -the prettiest beaches on the coast. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-I've just come from Stackpole... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-..and the lilies of Bosherston. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-This place is beautiful. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-Yes, it's very special. -It's part of the Stackpole Estate. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:30 | |
-This was the private beach -of the Cawdor family. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-Goodness me, it doesn't get -much better than this. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
-It's a place of exceptional beauty. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-Years ago, they filmed the advert -for the Bounty chocolate bar here. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:46 | |
-I can see why. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
-You're not sure if you should take -two steps or one step at a time. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-The estate's owners have left -their mark on the headland. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:05 | |
-Yes, they've made it -a convenient spot to reach. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
-They've also left their mark -on local names. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-There's Griffiths Lort's Hole, -a hole in the rocks over there. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
-Lort's Cave is located -to the left of the beach. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
-Who were the Lorts? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-They were the owners of the -Stackpole Estate before the Cawdors. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
-Lord Cawdor -became friendly with the Lorts. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
-They were at university together. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-He married the daughter... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
-..so the Cawdors -took over the Stackpole Estate. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
-So the two estates came together, -the Cawdors hailed from Scotland. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
-Am I right in saying -that their land... | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
-..was taken from them -in later years? | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-Yes, unfortunately -in the Castlemartin area... | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-..the MoD took over lots of land -and many families had to move out. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
-The land was prime agricultural -soil, famed for its new potatoes. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:06 | |
-Pembs potatoes. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-The people who lived in these homes -must still be alive. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-Yes, the pensioners I care for -at an old people's home... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
-..remember working on the land. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
-One old lady told me a story -about a Spitfire crash landing... | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
-..in the park behind her house. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
-She was slightly shocked... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-..but the pilot escaped unscathed. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
-Her family -had to move out of their home... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
-..and were relocated -in Trecwn near Fishguard. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-When these people die, -their stories die with them. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
-I hope not. The stories have been -passed down the generations. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
-The son of one of the pensioners -has kept many old photographs. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-They keep the stories alive -so that people will remember them. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-By relating the stories to you, -you're keeping them alive! | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-A few miles south... | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-..and we reach Manorbier... | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
-..known as Maenorbyr in Welsh. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
-It could be argued that this is the -birthplace of tourism in Wales... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:12 | |
-..since it was at this castle in -1146 that Gerald of Wales was born. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
-The author of Itinerarium Cambriae, -The Journey Through Wales... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-..he toured the country -but was faithful to his birthplace. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-He said of the region, "This is -the most beautiful place in Wales." | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-Some claim the name -is derived from Maenor y Ber... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-..relating to a battle -between a knight and a bear... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
-..in which the bear was killed. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
-But there are stranger versions, -Man or Bear being one of them... | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
-..because there was some dispute -over who won the fight. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
-So the name is derived -from a question - Man or Bear? | 0:15:55 | 0:16:00 | |
-But I'd rather believe -what Gerald of Wales had to say. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
-He claimed there was once a mansion -belonging to a man named Pyrrhus. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:17 | |
-The Welsh form, Pyr, explains the -derivation of Ynys Byr for Caldey... | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
-..where a group of monks lead a -simple life of worship in the abbey. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
-Things haven't always been -so peaceful on Caldey Island... | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-..because Pyrrhus -wasn't the most pious of saints. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-Legend has it -that he became blind drunk... | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-..fell into a well and died. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-A successor was found to replace -him, so Abbot Samson arrived... | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
-..to put the place in order. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
-But since the monks were given -so much freedom by Pyrrhus... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-..they were totally uncontrollable. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
-He was only here a short time -before he fled to Brittany. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
-An early reference to Tenby's Welsh -name appears in Edmyg Dinbych... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-..a Welsh poem from the 9th century -in which the poet admires Tenby. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-The Welsh word 'din' means fort. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-'Bych' means small, -so a small fort. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-If you happen to have -a small fort near a harbour... | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
-..then you have -'din bych y pysgod' (of the fish)'. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-During the Civil War, the town -supported the Parliamentarians... | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
-..and thwarted two attempts -by King Charles I to capture it. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-In 1648, the Crown eventually -seized the town for a few weeks... | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
-..before later yielding power -to the Parliamentarians. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-But the town -failed to thwart the Black Death. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-In 1650, half the population died. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
-People stopped coming here to trade, -bringing the town to its knees. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
-But during the Napoleonic wars... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-..when it was dangerous -to holiday in Europe... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-..wealthy Londoners -looked for somewhere else to unwind. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-Tenby became -the holiday destination of choice. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-Even to this day, -the town relies heavily on tourism. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-Situated three miles away -is Saundersfoot. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-The place was known -as Llanussyllt in the sixth century. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |

-..and foot refers to the -bottom of the hill - Saundersfoot. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
-I'm not sure who -Walter Elisander the miller was... | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
-..but I'm sure -there aren't many millers left. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-This area has seen -plenty of industry over the years. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:10 | |
-Coal was the major industry here. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
-The private coal industry too. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-Small enterprises? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
-Small enterprises? - -Yes, they had nothing to do... | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
-..with the National Coal Board, -the NCB. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
-They were private ventures. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-Lord Merthyr came here -and began mining in this area. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:33 | |
-So the coal -was transported to Saundersfoot? | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-Yes, it came from -Bonvilles Court colliery... | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-..where there was once -a winding house. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-Trams would come down from there... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
-..cross the harbour... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-..and load the ships. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
-It must've been good coal. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
-It was the only coal -Queen Victoria used. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
-It was anthracite coal... | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
-..which generated greater heat. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-She insisted on anthracite coal -from Saundersfoot. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
-They say that the coal -could burn even the grate. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
-It actually melted the iron. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-Are you serious? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-Are you serious? - -That's what I heard. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
-Welsh names -are in short supply here... | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
-..but as we -head towards Wiseman's Bridge... | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-..Bugeli, derived from the Welsh -word 'bugail' (shepherd) is nearby. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |

-..under Prime Minister -Winston Churchill's supervision... | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-..that 100,000 soldiers came -to practise for the D Day landings. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
-Since the beaches here -resemble those in northern France... | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
-..it was an ideal area -in which to practise. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
-For years after the exercise... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |

-..thanking locals -for their hospitality. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
-I've asked around but nobody knows -what's happened to that letter. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
-The fate of Churchill's letter... | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-..is only one of the mysteries -we've encountered... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-..as we've toured the entire length -of the Pembrokeshire coast... | 0:21:56 | 0:22:01 | |
-..from St Dogmaels in the north. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
-As a fitting end to my journey... | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
-..in an area where -mostly all the names are English... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-..I've reached Amroth, -an entirely Welsh name... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-..meaning -'near a brook called Roath'. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-I arrived in Pembrokeshire -several weeks ago... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
-..when the county -was completely foreign to me. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
-It's been one heck of a journey. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
-The people and the weather -have been wonderful... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
-..apart from the last hour -when the sun has given way to rain. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
-We've witnessed the final days of -seine-haul fishing in the Teifi... | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
-..and seen the Welsh language -under pressure from social change. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:58 | |
-But we've also witnessed -people's tenacity and resilience. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
-Even in the most -unexpected of places... | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
-..we've seen the Welsh language -live on in some names... | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
-..and survive -in the face of adversity. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-That could be used as a metaphor -for a greater cause. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
