-The Valleys -have always been my home. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
-Each valley with its industrial -scars and colourful characters... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:13 | |

-Why not jump on board my ride? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
-I'm shifting gear -and heading for the horizon! | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
-My journey around -the Valleys continues... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
-..and so does the stunning scenery. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
-I'm heading east -towards the Rhymney Valley. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-Gelligaer is one of -the highest peaks in the valley. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
-It's famed for its beauty -and tranquillity. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-I also visit the popular towns -of Tredegar and Ystrad Mynach. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-We commence on the outskirts -of the valley... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
-..at the famous town -of Merthyr Tydfil. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-Cyfarthfa was home to the Crawshays -who reigned over the iron industry. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
-Robert Crawshay -built his ironworks into an empire. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
-Nelson once visited to see where the -cannons for HMS Victory were made. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
-Richard shouted down to -his workers to welcome Nelson. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:39 | |
-Robert passed his empire -to William Crawshay I. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
-He wasn't bothered about it so fled -to London and left it to his son. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
-His son was William II -and he built this castle. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-The impressive mansion overlooked -the pandemonium of the ironworks. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-Despite the pandemonium... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
-..the business continued to thrive -and the family reaped its rewards... | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
-..and they enjoyed success -on a global scale. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-When Robert Crawshay acquired the -business in the late 19th century... | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
-..the iron industry had expanded -and prospered in other regions. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
-This posed a huge threat -to the family. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
-During that period, Robert fell ill -and the business suffered. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:33 | |
-The illness made him impatient, -deaf and partially blind... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
-..and he was hostile -towards his staff and family. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-Robert didn't leave his fortune -to the grandchildren... | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-..as he disapproved -of his daughter's husband. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
-I'm sure he regretted it as his -epitaph reads, "God, forgive me." | 0:02:52 | 0:02:58 | |
-It's thought -that he's buried face down... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-..to prevent -his evil soul from escaping. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-His gravestone is a giant slab... | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
-..which makes it more difficult -to exhume and abuse his corpse. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-I couldn't leave Merthyr -without meeting one of the locals... | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
-..who has made sacrifices -for the Welsh language. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
-Jamie Bevan has been the chairman -of Cymdeithas yr Iaith for a year. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
-He's passionate about sustaining -the language in his area. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-I returned to the Welsh language -about ten years ago. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-I went to Ysgol Rhydfelen school -but we didn't speak Welsh at home. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:50 | |
-I left school... | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
-..and unfortunately -like many young people... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-..I didn't use -the Welsh language for a long time. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-But a decade ago, I experienced -some sort of conversion... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
-..and since then I was... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-Living through the medium of Welsh -doesn't come naturally in Merthyr. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-It isn't that simple. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-You have to find this community -and learn how to network. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:24 | |
-By visiting Welsh bookshops -and the Welsh centre in Merthyr... | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-..I became socially involved -with Cymdeithas Yr Iaith. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-It was a chance to meet others -who spoke the Welsh language. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
-His passion and love for Welsh -is reflected in his musical career. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:45 | |
-Jamie has composed many songs -about the valley and its people. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-# Johnny Bach Pentips -used to dress up in a skirt | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-# His mother worried about him -but his father thought he was dim | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-# Johnny told his father, -"Don't think that I'm a fool." | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
-# "One day, you'll see -that I'm a trendsetter!" | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-# I've never seen anything like it # | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-Many of my songs feature -local characters from Merthyr... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-..and the free spirits -found in the pubs. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-Johnny Bach Pentips -was a local character. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-He worked as a bin man -during the day... | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-..and in the evening -and at weekends... | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
-..he entertained punters as a -drag artist in working men's clubs. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:39 | |
-The song is based on him. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-He'd go to work on a Monday morning -and was still wearing nail varnish! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
-I feel it's important -that we record... | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-..and keep these characters -alive in our memories. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
-# Johnny Bach Pentips in a skirt | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-# Johnny Bach Pentips in a skirt # | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-You've courageously campaigned for -the Welsh language and went to jail. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-Tell us more about it. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-I was sent to prison... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-..as part of the campaign -to protect the future of S4C. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-The reason why I went to jail... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-..was a court order that I received -in the English language. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-But I refused to answer them -in English... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-..and was jailed -for refusing to pay a fine. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
-I was locked up -for less than a month. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-It was a profound experience -but an honour to make this stand. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:47 | |
-I felt I was in the right. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-"Following 18 days imprisonment... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
-"..Jamie Bevan received -a warm welcome home to Merthyr. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
-"But in that time, he was stunned by -the attitudes of prison officials... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:03 | |
-"..when he requested -bilingual services." | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-How were you treated in prison? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-When I entered the prison... | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-..I refused to complete -any English correspondence. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
-It was quite a challenge... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-..as you don't get anything -in prison unless you sign for it. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-You didn't have access -to the library and gym. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-I couldn't choose my meals -or have any visitors... | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-..so I didn't see my family -for the first two weeks. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-In the end, when the commissioner -appeared on the television... | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
-..with the chief of prisons -to say the situation was sorted... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
-..I still refused -to sign my release form. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:53 | |
-The form -was still printed in English... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-..so they could have kept me -locked up for longer! | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
-You made an important stand -on behalf of the Welsh language... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
-..but was it all worth it? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
-Yes, it was definitely worth it. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-I don't know if it made a difference -because I haven't been back to jail. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
-Not yet, anyway! | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-However, I'm quite confident... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
-..that my actions and the way -I dealt with the situation... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
-..has inspired other individuals -to make a stand in their own way. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:32 | |
-Everyone has a duty. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
-Welsh and non-Welsh speakers -in Wales... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:39 | |
-..need to make their own stand -on behalf of the Welsh language. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-That could be going to prison... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
-..speaking Welsh to their children -or to the Welsh learner next door. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:52 | |
-Everyone's got a role to play. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
-It's important that we take -advantage of every opportunity. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-Before leaving Merthyr -for the Rhymney Valley... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
-..there's one thing -I've always wanted to do. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
-The Old Town Hall -is a historic building... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-..but has had a new lease of life -as the Redhouse. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
-It has an amazing history. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
-There's a mosaic design -of a red dragon downstairs... | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-..that was installed before -it became the symbol of Wales. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-Doulton provided the wall tiles -before it became Royal Doulton. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
-On this balcony, Keir Hardie gave -his speech as the first Labour MP. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:44 | |
-He represented the Merthyr -and Aberdare constituencies. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
-What can I say from here? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-Follow me, my friends, for the -future is bright and wonderful. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |

-I'm making my way -to the Rhymney Valley. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-As I admire the scenic landscape -towards Gelligaer Mountain... | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-..it's incredible to think that it -was dominated by heavy industries. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
-Today, it's become an attraction -for the most ardent of ramblers. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-I've visited many places in the -Valleys and met a lot of people. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:35 | |
-Most of them are natives -but this gentleman seems to be lost. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:41 | |
-You're from North Wales, Aled. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
-You're from North Wales, Aled. - -Yes, I am. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
-You're more than welcome here... | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-..but North Wales boasts plenty -of places to enjoy, admire and walk. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
-What brought you to South Wales? | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-I moved to Cardiff -for work purposes. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
-When did you discover the Valleys? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-I always enjoyed walking -when I lived in North and Mid Wales. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
-When I moved to South Wales, -I was looking for places to walk. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-Like many Northwalians... | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
-..I thought the Valleys -was an industrial and dreary place. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
-But I've roamed the area and it's -quite rural like North-East Wales. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:24 | |
-You're writing about the Valleys. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-It's a book about -walking tours in the Valleys. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-There are a lot of tours, so do you -meet many walkers along the way? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
-I encounter a lot of locals -and dog walkers. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
-They're familiar with the locality -unlike the outsiders. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-The thing that makes the Valleys -an unique place to walk... | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
-..compared to Snowdonia -and less populated places... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-..is that history -is entwined in the landscape. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
-I'm not aware of any other -mountainous area... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-..where people -live at the heart of it. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-The past cohabits -with the mountains... | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-..the scenery and wildlife. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-We're standing here... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
-..but the best spot to appreciate -the scenery is from that hilltop. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
-That's Carn Bugail which is -home to a Bronze Age cairn. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
-People have buried their dead -and lived there for 4,000 years. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:31 | |
-That's it. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
-Let's follow their footsteps. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
-We set off -in the afternoon sunshine. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
-It was also a chance for Aled -to teach me more about the Valleys. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
-How do you choose which tour -is worthy of a place in the book? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:57 | |
-For the book, -I was looking for tours... | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-..that combined alluring -views and landscapes... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
-..with a historical presence. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
-Do you have a favourite tour? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-There are five combined tours... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
-..that create one long route -from Ebbw Vale to Maesteg... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
-..and uses train stations -as places to start and finish. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
-Out of them all, -this tour is a favourite. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-It's an original concept. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
-People often trek up and down the -Valleys but this tour crosses them. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
-Thank you. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
-I only stopped to catch my breathe! | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-I'm not as young -and agile as Aled... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-..but we didn't need to travel far -to admire the glorious views... | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
-..and soak up the local history. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-What's the story -behind this stone, Aled? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-Does it point to Brecon -to direct Romans in the fog? | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
-This stone is one of many historical -attractions on the Gelligaer summit. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:06 | |
-Some think it's a burial stone -from the sixth century... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-..belonging to a nobleman -from the post-Roman period. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
-It's positioned like many other -ancient stones on the roadside. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
-I know that you walk for enjoyment. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
-I'd like to join you, but I've got -a doctor's note that says I can't! | 0:14:24 | 0:14:29 | |
-Maesycwmmer, at the foot the valley -is a regular haunt of Bethan Davies. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:40 | |
-She lives and works in London -but her heart belongs to this area. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-She comes home -as often as possible. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
-You're home, Bethan. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-Is it a relaxing break -or some sort of therapy? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
-I come here to relax. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
-I try to come home to see -Mam and Dad once a month... | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
-..but sometimes -it's once every six weeks. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-Do you? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:09 | |
-Do you? - -Yes, I do. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
-You're a local girl. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
-Yes, I lived in Maesycwmmer until -I turned 18 and went to university. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
-You crossed Offa's Dyke -with London in your sights. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
-Yes, that's right. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
-I studied journalism... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-..and worked in the world -of television in Wales... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-..but felt the need -to make that leap and go to London. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
-What attracted you to London? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-Was it a new job -or that you should be there? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-I think that's what it was for me. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-At the moment, the main focus -of my work is on London. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
-Does your line of PR work -cover a wide canvas? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-Does it focus on a specific area -or certain profession? | 0:15:54 | 0:16:00 | |
-My agency works across the board... | 0:16:00 | 0:16:06 | |
-..but I've always preferred to work -in certain fields... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
-..such as education, -health and the Third Sector. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
-I've also worked with charities... | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
-..including the British Red Cross -and Save The Children. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:26 | |
-I'm in the process of doing business -with two important charities. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:32 | |
-I'm excited about this prospect. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
-Does Wales have potential -for the future? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
-Do you also think -there's potential in the Valleys? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-Yes, I think so. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
-When I'm not in Wales -and am asked about my background... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:51 | |
-..I tell them -that I'm from the Rhymney Valley. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-I lived in Cardiff for a while -but the Rhymney Valley is my home. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
-I love the Valleys... | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-..and it's got a wealth -of wonderful history. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |

-There's currently -a shortage of work here. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |

-..but I think Westminster -needs to show more commitment. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
-The Welsh government -needs to show more commitment too... | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
-..and prove that it can have -a stronger voice on issues. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-We need experienced individuals -like yourself to come back here. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
-A car is a sophisticated -piece of machinery... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-..but it can't manoeuvre -unless you set it buttons! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:07 | |
