-Smugglers, fishermen... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
-..echoes of early Irish visitors... | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
-..and enchanting legends, -names and history. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
-They all dote on this coastline. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
-This is Arfordir Cymru. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
-In this episode, -we journey from Aberaeron... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-..past New Quay and Cwmtydu to -the fishing village of Llangrannog. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
-As we travel southwards -between Aberaeron and New Quay... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
-..the shores are littered -with caves and waterfalls. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-There are coves with quaint names -such as Cilfach yr Halen... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
-..and areas like this... | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-..where the River Drywi flows -over the headland to the beach. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-It looks as if -it should belong in a fairytale. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
-Before reaching New Quay -we pass Cei Bach... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-..a sandy beach below Llanina. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-Shipbuilding was big business here -at one time... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-..but that industry -has since ceased. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
-However, what does remain -are the legends. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-Some claim Ina was a king... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-..who reigned over Wessex -at the turn of the eighth century. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-He was shipwrecked here... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
-..and the local residents -took care of him. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-Once they repaired his boat... | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-..King Ina promised to return -to found a church here. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-That church has long gone -but another dedicated to Ina... | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-..has stood here ever since. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
-The small church, -a short distance inland... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
-..is at the least the third church. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-It may even possibly be the seventh. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
-A short row away -and we pass Carreg Ina... | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-..between the buoy and the land. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-Hard to know if Ina was shipwrecked -here, but once past the stone... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
-..New Quay opens up in front of you. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-Many say it provided the inspiration -for Dylan Thomas' characters... | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
-..of the fictional Llareggub... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
-..with its clusters of houses -overlooking the fishing boats. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-New Quay is still a working harbour -for some, though many boats... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-..now cater for visitors -who come in their droves... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-..to enjoy the waves and play on the -pale-coloured sands of Traeth Gwyn. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
-If you'd stood on Traeth Gwyn -300 years ago... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
-..you'd have seen -an old altar tomb called Hengell. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
-Within a tomb... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-..were four stone walls -and a flat stone on top of them. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-In a similar tomb on Traeth Gwyn -lived a man named Gwynestrin. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
-After being at a banquet -where two princes were murdered... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-..one of whom was Ceredig, -who gave his name to Ceredigion... | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-..he fled across -the River Ystwyth in a coracle... | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-..and landed here. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-Once his shattered sanity -and broken body had recovered... | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
-..he vowed to heal, educate -and impart his wisdom to the locals. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-People referred to him -as the man in the cell. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
-The altar tomb was swept out to sea. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-These days, Hengell -is the name of a caravan site... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
-..the only linguistic reminder -of a man who lived as a hermit... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-..in self-abnegation. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
-The act of fleeing has remained -a theme in this area thereafter. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-Arba Cottages... | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
-..are the result -of one significant case. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-In 1832 the squire of Llanina House -told his shipbuilders... | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
-..that they had to vote -for the Tories or lose their homes. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
-The workers were fervent Liberals... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-..so they moved out and came here... | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
-..defying -their employer's authority... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-..to found their own village. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-They called it Arba after the city -of refuge referred to in the Bible. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:39 | |
-Not everyone here -wants to retreat from the world. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-There are those -who welcome people with open arms. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-David Winston Evans sails -his pleasure boats from New Quay. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-Were you born and raised -in New Quay, Winston? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-Yes, a long time ago now. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-What has been your job -over the years? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-I was a fisherman fishing -for mackerel, lobsters, crabs. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
-That's what I used to do -many years ago before I gave it up. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-I'd fish for anything, scallops or -whatever, as long as I made money! | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
-You also served with the lifeboat. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-Yes, I was with -the lifeboat crew 29 years. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-I joined as a young man. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-My father and many of his friends -died young, around 50 years of age. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-There was no-one to replace them... | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-..which is why I joined -at such a young age. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-I was a coxswain at 26. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-You were a coxswain at 26? | 0:05:42 | 0:05:43 | |
-You were a coxswain at 26? - -You know it all at that age! | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-At least you think you do. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
-Where would you say is your patch -along this stretch of coastline? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
-For years I thought my patch -stretched from here to Ynys Lochtyn. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-But that didn't last. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
-As the fishing industry -deteriorated... | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-..it was odd because more and more -men were becoming fishermen. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-Most are still fishing these waters. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-When I was catching lots of lobsters -I wasn't getting paid for them. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-Or, at least, -I wasn't getting a good price. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
-When I chat to people -on my travels... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-..I like to collect the names -of rocks, headlands and so on. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-I tend to sketch small maps by hand. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-I have to apologize, Winston, -because this one's very poor. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
-It's not very detailed, -but what's behind us here? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-Ogof Ddeuben. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
-Ogof Ddeuben? Why is it called that? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-Go in through one and out -through the other in a small boat. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-Did people do that years ago? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-There were those, before my time, -who rowed down here... | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-..and charged people two shillings -for the privilege. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-They charged people for -rowing them through Ogof Ddeuben? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-Then they started using outboards. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-Ogof Deuben, yes? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-Carreg Walltog. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-Coast Guards use it as target -practice and throw the line across. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
-A rocket line. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
-Then there's an obvious rock -around the corner. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-Y Draenog (hedgehog). | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
-On account of its shape? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
-It doesn't look like a hedgehog -to me but that's what it's called! | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
-And as we head for Cwmtydu? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:41 | |
-And as we head for Cwmtydu? - -You come to Cwm Silio first... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-..before Cwmtydu. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-Cwm Silio. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-A mini version of Cwmtydu. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
-And then there's Traeth y Coubal... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-..and Hirallt. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
-However, -there are no hills to speak of. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-It refers to the high ground. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-Hirallt. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
-What happens to names -like Ynys Walltog and Draenog? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
-Are they still used? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
-Are they still used? - -No, I don't think so. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
-There are fewer Welsh speakers -in the area nowadays. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-That's now called Target Rock. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-Ynys Walltog is now Target Rock? | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-Yes. Y Draenog -doesn't even have a name now. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
-For years I used to think -it was called Bird Rock. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-But it's Y Draenog. -Bird Rock is around the corner. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-How has -the New Quay community changed? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-There's no community in winter. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-I'm lucky -on the street where I live... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
-..that every house apart from one -is lived in. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
-Of the three terraces behind the -pier, only six houses out of 30... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
-..are lived in. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
-I don't know what the answer is. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-I've no idea -what should be done about it. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-They trialled something -six months ago on the south coast. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-But I've heard no more about it. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-If I were selling my house -and one person offered me 6,000... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-..and the other offered 12,000, -I know which one would get it! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
-We're all the same. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |

-Our journey along Cardigan Bay by -boat, car and on foot continues... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
-..as we reach -the south of the county... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-..in a part of the country -teeming with legends. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-Some are archaic -whilst others are more contemporary. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
-Having left New Quay, we head -for the narrow beach of Cwmtydu. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
-It's possible that it's named after -an anonymous person called Tydu... | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
-..though there are several records -of the form Cwmtudur... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
-..and local tradition associates -the place with Henry Tudor. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-Whatever the truth -behind Tydu or Tudur... | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
-..there's a tradition -of recording names. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
-This rock beneath my foot -is called Craig yr Enwau. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-Years ago, every big Thursday, -the third Thursday in August... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
-..a festival was held here -with games such as quoits throwing. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
-Young people were challenged to swim -across the mouth of the bay... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
-..from one side to the other. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-The village's Sanhedrin would watch -from the top of the lime kiln. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
-If they were satisfied with what -they saw, they raised their thumbs. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
-The young people were then allowed -to carve their names into this rock. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
-Few of the names -have been preserved nowadays. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-There's a photograph -in John Meirion Jones' book... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
-..from the 1970s... | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
-..where the names -can be seen clearly in the rock. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-We might've done more historical -things in this series... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-..but I don't think -we've been anywhere... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-..quite as fitting -as Craig yr Enwau (Rock of Names). | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
-As I look at this narrow, -hidden beach... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-..it's hard to think -of anywhere more suitable... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-..for illegal nocturnal activities. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-Cwmtydu beach -was one of the favourite haunts... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
-..of the famous smuggler, -Sion Cwilt. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
-He'd cross the beacons -with his donkeys... | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-..to meet ships that were -unloading wines, spirits and so on. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
-It's hard to imagine -how many contraband items... | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
-..passed over this gravel and sand -during the 18th century. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-Even Sir Herbert Lloyd, -the area's high sheriff... | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
-..was one of Sion Cwilt's -most loyal customers. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
-Like every folk hero worth his salt, -Sion Cwilt's fate is unclear... | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-..after he vanished from the area... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-..once the authorities -got wind of his antics. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-There's also uncertainty -over his name. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
-It's possible that his real name -was John White or Sion Sais to some. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
-Some claim that the name Cwilt... | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-..came from -the colourful coat he wore. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-Others claim it's a corruption -of gwyllt (wild)... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
-..which suits his character. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
-Whatever the truth behind the name, -the story proves one thing. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-That not everyone in these parts -was a saint! | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
-There are plenty of saints -to be had, mind you. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-A few miles south of Cwmtydu -and we reach Llangrannog. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-The Church of Saint Carannog. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
-Before the 16th century, Llangrannog -was better known as a cave... | 0:13:41 | 0:13:46 | |
-..after Ogof Carannog, -situated behind the church. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
-Churches are dedicated to him -in Brittany, Cornwall and Somerset. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
-They're all -far enough away from the sea... | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-..to be out of sight of smugglers -who patrolled the coastline. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
-This dualism, the relationship -between land and sea... | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-..has always shaped Llangrannog. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-There were two villages here -originally. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-Pentre'r Eglwys and Pentre'r Traeth, -with a strip of houses linking them. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
-Someone born and raised here and who -continues the fishing tradition... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:27 | |
-..is Mickey Beechey. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-These yellow pots are all mine. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-We'll follow the coastline -around to the first pot... | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-..and we'll start lifting them then. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-Can you see the first one? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
-Can you see its shape? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
-Can you see its shape? - -Yes, it's like that. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
-That's why they call it -Drws yr Eglwys. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-It's perfect from this angle. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-You see that cliff in the distance? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
-It's called Y Gaer Clwyd -but we refer to it as Garclwyd. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
-They say it's the highest cliff -in West Wales. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-Let's see what we have here. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-Lobster. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
-I think that's a little too small. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-That's a good size. I don't have to -measure that one. That's fine. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-There are a lot of ripples today. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
-They make it difficult because you -must keep the balance as you lift. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-This is a good boat, Mickey. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-It's a great shape. When it's -choppy, it cuts through the waves. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
-It makes you feel safe. -Do you feel safe in it? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-Yes, I do. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
-How often do you -check the cages during the week? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:43 | |
-Depends on the weather -but I could go out every day. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
-I have cages to catch lobster... | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-..and nets to catch sea bass. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
-I'm sure -every day is different here. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-I never tire of it. It lifts my -spirits. I don't know what it is. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-I was born and raised in the village -and came fishing with my uncle... | 0:17:01 | 0:17:07 | |
-..and my brothers off Ynys Lochtyn -before we had a boat. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
-I never tire of the place. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
-I never tire of the place. - -There are worse offices to have! | 0:17:12 | 0:17:16 | |
-There are lovely names dotted -all around from Llangrannog. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-Names all the way along. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-From the moment we left Traeth -Llangrannog or Traeth y Pentref. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
-But over the years, things have been -changed and people forget the names. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:33 | |
-About 20 years ago... | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
-..I went to visit a local woman -called Beryl Jones, Angorfa. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-I asked her what these places -were called when she was young. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
-I listed the names -of the cliffs, beaches and rocks... | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
-..and since then, we, -as Welsh-speaking locals... | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
-..have kept those names going. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-From Traeth Llangrannog, you come -northwards to Traeth Cilborth... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
-..and the next one up is Yr Ysglan. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
-Ysglan? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-The next one up... | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
-..is Porth Henri -and then Pwll Dafydd and Pwll Ifan. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
-There's a large rock by Pwll Ifan -called Carreg Ifan. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:22 | |
-I don't suppose -we know who Ifan was? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-No, neither do we know -who Henri or Dafydd were. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-But it's obvious these places... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
-..were named after -the village's characters. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-It's nice to retain those names. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-People move in -from across the border... | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-..and they just refer to them as -first bay, second bay, third bay... | 0:18:43 | 0:18:48 | |
-..which sounds very sad. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-The history's gone then, isn't it? | 0:18:50 | 0:18:51 | |
-The history's gone then, isn't it? - -Of course. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-They all have Welsh names. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
-Legends are associated with them, -such as Carreg Bica. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
-A giant called Bica -complained of toothache one time. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:05 | |
-He removed the tooth -that was causing him pain... | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
-..and threw it into the sea. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-They claim that Carreg Bica -evolved from the giant's tooth. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
-It's an odd shape, isn't it? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
-I know you cast your net near -somewhere called Carreg y Morwynion. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
-Centuries ago, there was -a legend about three sisters... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
-..who lived at either Morfa Canol -or Morfa Fechan Farm. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
-Legend has it -that the three sisters... | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-..wanted to go swimming -on a Sunday, on the Sabbath.... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-..but their mother -wasn't willing for them to go. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-It was a sunny summer's day... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-..and they swam out to this rock. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
-Once they reached the rock, -the storm picked up... | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
-..the wind howled -and the sea became choppy. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-They couldn't get back to the beach -and the three sisters drowned. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
-The legend, -which remains to this day... | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-..is that if you go there at night, -you hear the three of them singing. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
-These legends -are entwined with the names. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
-If you lose the name, -then the legend dies with it. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:19 | |
-We're lucky as a family -and as a group of friends... | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
-..that we're all Welsh speakers. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
-I take my nieces and nephews -out on the boat. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-I tell them the names -and they come fishing with me. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-It's important we keep that going. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
-It connects us with villagers -from centuries ago. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-Yes, so it's important -we keep it going. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
-It's easy enough to be lazy -and call it another name... | 0:20:43 | 0:20:49 | |
-..that's easier to pronounce... | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-..but it's just a matter -of learning the name. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-It's easy enough -to learn their names. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-Tourism has since replaced fishing -as Llangrannog's main industry... | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
-..and is reflected -in the place names. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
-But names that have been forgotten -over time isn't a recent thing. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
-On high ground -looking down on Llangrannog... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-..on what was once -an important trading route... | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-..between Cardigan -and north Ceredigion... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
-..is a rock called Carreg Eisteddfa -where poets and dignitaries met. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
-People tried to create an -association with the Eisteddfod... | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-..but that's a tenuous link. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-It shows us how much history -exists in this area... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-..and how much of it we've lost. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-Even if Carreg Eisteddfa doesn't -fulfil any specific purpose... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
-..it's a great place to stall -at the end of a journey... | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
-..and reflect on life. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
