0:01:43 > 0:01:48- The sea, its history and influence - on coastal residents...
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- ..will flow through it all.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02- ..takes us from the Dwyryd Estuary - past Morfa Dyffryn...
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- ..and along the shoreline - to the holiday town of Barmouth.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Moel-y-Gest was a hill-fort - during the Iron Age...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- ..with its inhabitants - in constant fear of attack.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Today the views - are considerably more peaceful...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- ..across the Cob, built in 1825...
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- ..reclaiming 8,000 acres of land and - connects Porthmadog to Minffordd...
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- ..which lies beside - one of the country's wonders.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- This ancient site - was formerly called Aber Ia....
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- ..before Sir Clough Williams-Ellis - built his iconic village.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Portmeirion embodies - the architect's wild imagination...
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- ..full of colour and wonder...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- ..as though an Italian village - has been inserted into North Wales.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Views of the Dwyryd Estuary...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- ..extending to Talsarnau - are picturesque.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- When you - think of northwest Wales nowadays...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- ..you think of a rural area...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- ..but it was an industrial site - during the 19th century...
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- ..before Clough Williams-Ellis - laid Portmeirion's cornerstone.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Leading up to 1913...
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- ..260 ships were built - in Porthmadog and Borth-y-Gest.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- This area would've been teeming - with masts, with men shouting...
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- ..trains arriving laden with slate, - hammers tapping away...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- ..and anchor chains - screeching across wrecks.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Imagining that today - in this perfect tranquillity...
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- ..is enough to give you goosebumps.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- At the centre of the estuary - is a wooded island.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06- Ynys Gifftan.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Legend has it that Queen Anne - gave it to Lord Harlech as a gift...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- ..providing a meaning for the name.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Ynys Gifftan. Anne's Gift Island.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- The island appears on a map - from 1645 and is marked as Skysen.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- There's also a record of it - as Ynys Cyftor...
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- ..but Gifftan is the more prominent - name and the one used nowadays.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Professor Melville Richards - suggested...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- ..it was a derivation - of the word skiff, a type of boat...
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- ..followed by an abbreviated form - of Anne, Skifftan, Ynys Gifftan.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- A farm was run here - until the mid-1970s.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- The farmhouse still stands - among the thorny brambles...
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- ..as if it expects the residents - to return home any minute.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- The land opposite the island - is a combination of grass and sand.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Derwyn Evans spent many years - working the marshland of Glastraeth.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15- For a stranger like myself, this - landscape is extremely striking...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- ..but you're familiar with the view.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- I worked here for nine years...
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- ..lifting the sods.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- How did you do that?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I'd cut them up - and two others would lift them...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- ..load them onto the trucks...
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- ..and take them away - to be repurposed.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Where did the turf go?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44- It went to all parts of Britain but - the majority of it went to London.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- What was it used for?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- All kinds of things - - graves, repairing Wimbledon.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- Wimbledon?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Wimbledon?- - Yes, indeed. Wembley too.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- So, turf from Glastraeth - was used on Wembley football pitch?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Yes.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Yes.- - What makes this grass so special?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Let me show you a blade of grass.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- It's rounded.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- I have photographs of you working.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Is this you here? - How old would you have been?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24- About 21.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- About 21.- - So you'd load the turf onto trucks?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27- Yes.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Yes.- - Load it and away it goes!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- I'm sure you see the sea - throughout the seasons here.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Yes. I've been caught out here once.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- I was carrying turf.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- I was just about to carry one more - load before finishing for the day...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- ..when I realized - we'd been caught short.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- We couldn't cross the bridge...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- ..because the water - was flowing beneath us.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- We didn't want to weigh it down - in case we went down with it.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- So we stayed there and sat - on top of the turf for two hours.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Is it easy - to be caught by the tide here?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Yes. If you're unprepared, - you'll be caught out.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- These trenches fill with water - without you noticing.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- When you finally notice - these trenches are filling up...
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- ..you realize the other trenches - are higher and you can't cross.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- The sea will always be your master.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- He always creeps up on you.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- It's not nice.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Not far from Glastraeth, - on considerably drier ground...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- ..is the church of - Llanfihangel-y-traethau.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- The parish's original church - was erected in the 12thC...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- ..on what was once an island.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Over time, the land dried out - but the church's name...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- ..considering its proximity - to Traeth Bach and Traeth Mawr...
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- ..makes perfect sense - - St Michael's Church on the Beaches.
0:08:09 > 0:08:15- No matter which way you look at it, - this enormous estuary is striking.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Just around the corner - is the village of Talsarnau...
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- ..whose name, quite simply, - means beyond the causeways.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- A causeway is a path - erected to cross wetlands.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- A stage-coach - used to travel this area...
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- ..from the village of Ynys, - northwards past Ynys Gifftan...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- ..to Abergafren, beneath Minffordd.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- In an even earlier era...
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- ..the act of crossing water carried - significance, it was something holy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Before stage-coaches, - during the early Christian era...
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- ..travellers expected tides - in sacred places such as this...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- ..and prayed for - a safe crossing of the estuaries.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Travelling is far easier nowadays.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Three miles southwards - is the historical town of Harlech.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- The name's meaning is uncertain.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Llech refers to the stone - on which the castle stands.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Hardd either means pretty or tall, - but one thing's for certain...
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- ..the stone is archaic, - dating from the Cambrian Period...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- ..more than - four hundred million years ago.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- A small step away geographically - but a huge step chronologically...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- ..and we're on the trail - of the early Christians.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- This coast - is awash with beautiful churches.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Since travelling by sea - was easier than on land...
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- ..it was along these shores that the - saints came to spread the gospel.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- This is one of - the country's oldest churches.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Llandanwg Church.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- The elements try their hardest...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- ..to batter this small church...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- ..and often, parishioners - have to dig it out of the sand.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- They are loath to lose it.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- And who can blame them? - It's beautiful, I must admit.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- We know little about Saint Tanwg, - the saint to whom it's dedicated.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- Some traditions associate him - with Bardsey, others with Brittany.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54- We know for certain that a Christian - fellowship has existed here...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- ..since the year 430...
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- ..which means the early origins - of Christianity in Wales began here.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- In spite - of the sand's efforts to bury it...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- ..the old church remains.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- It could teach us a lesson - on several levels.
0:11:17 > 0:11:17- .
0:11:20 > 0:11:20- Subtitles
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- We're on a journey along - the crescent of Cardigan Bay...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- ..in pursuit of history, - names and coastal legends.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- The only way to reach Shell Island - caravan site in Mochras...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- ..is when the tide allows access.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Rhodri Dafydd - is very familiar with the area...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- ..and the whimsical nature - of the elements...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- ..as the senior manager - of Morfa Dyffryn sand dunes.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- This coastal landscape before us - is both barren and striking.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- What's this area called?
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- We're sitting on Ynys Mochras, - though it's no longer an island.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- The River Artro behind us - flows into the sea.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- At one time, the river also - flowed into the sea from the west...
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- ..which meant Ynys Mochras - stood alone in the middle.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- On this archaic map - dating from around 1830...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- ..Ynys Mochras can be seen clearly.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- The Artro flows out here, but at the - same time as the map was created...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- ..it also flowed - to the west of the island too.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- This part to the south - has since been filled?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Yes, to the south - are the Morfa Dyffryn sand dunes...
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- ..and gradually over 800 years, - they've been moving further north.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- It continued to happen...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- ..until 1819 when they - completely redirected the river.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Since then, the gap to the west - has completely closed.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Morfa Harelch - is a National Nature Reserve too...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- ..and they're both connected.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- They're incredibly important sites - geologically and geomorphology.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- They're also important for wildlife - reliant on these landforms.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- There are all kinds here!
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Plants predominantly hold - the dunes' ecosystems together.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Some of them have names - which baffle the imagination.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- The Welsh name for this flower - is tag aradr, restharrow in English.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Years ago, - on land that was being ploughed...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- ..it was a pain - for people pulling the plough...
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- ..because this flower - got tangled up in it...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- ..preventing it - from ploughing properly.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- It emits a pleasant smell. - It's surrounded by wild thyme too.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- These plants are characteristic - of sand dunes of this age.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Look what's in front of us here.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- The Welsh term for it is Corhelygen, - a tree belonging to the willow.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11- The salix repens.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- It's one of the site's - characteristic shrubs.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- It only grows - in sand dunes where it's moist.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- You won't find it - in many other places.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Does it only grow to this height?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Does it only grow to this height?- - It won't grow much taller.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Rabbits graze on it but it - doesn't grow to the size of a tree.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Corhelygen with 'cor' meaning dwarf - - small willow.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- It's obvious the landscape - has taken years to form.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- You mentioned the sand sweeping in - predominantly from Cardigan Bay.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- How do the dunes form and spread?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- The first thing you need is a piece - of seaweed or driftwood will do.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Sand will blow in...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- ..and form behind it - to create a mini dune.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Once that's happened, - plants creep in.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- It might get wiped out in a storm...
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- ..but the same process - will happen the following year.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- These dunes are formed - over a successive period.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- The more sand there is, - the more plants it attracts.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- The further back you go - in the system...
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- ..you can see - where plants have grown.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- You get different plants - in moist areas.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- You'll get even more plants - growing under those conditions...
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- ..because plants die and create - new soil to nurture other plants.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- It's a good balance, then.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- It's a good balance, then.- - Yes, it's completely balanced.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- It's interesting seeing - all these changes occur each year.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- It's an exceptional place.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- The only other question I have is, - how do I find my way home?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- The south's that way, so you - should be heading in that direction.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Let's try that then.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- From the sky, the area between Morfa - Dyffryn and Barmouth looks calm.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Closer to the ground, - things are much livelier.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10- From Ardudwy Beach, this stretch - of sea is called Crochan Benar...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- ..which is treacherous in a storm.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- A mile inland is - the former site of Egryn Quarry...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- ..which was in use - until the 19th century.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- The stone used to build - Harlech Castle came from here.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Getting to these places is difficult - if you don't know your way around...
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- ..but a path to the south - leads to a fantastic vantage point.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- This route is called - the Panorama Walk...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- ..because the views from here - are breath-taking.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Travellers came to Barmouth - along this route...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- ..before a road was built in 1815 - and a train line after that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Here you'll get a bird's eye view - of the Mawddach Estuary.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Mawdd is probably a personal name...
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- ..as it appears in the name - Dinas Mawddwy, many miles inland.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Over time, the name Abermawdd - became Abermo and then Bermo...
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- ..though Abermaw - also appears on some signs.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- As you'd imagine, this route - is very popular with tourists...
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- ..despite the fact that the medieval - tavern that was situated here...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- ..has long gone.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- They missed a trick there, - didn't they?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- They say Barmouth was one of the - first holiday destinations in Wales.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Early holidaymakers - flocked here to try a new fad.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Sunbathing.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- John Jones or John Sam - is a full-time resident of Barmouth.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- A former town mayor and the owner - of a B&B who can proudly boast...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- ..that his family - has lived in Barmouth for centuries.
