-Boundaries are there to be pushed. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
-I'm Gareth Potter, -a DJ and actor by profession. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
-My parents didn't speak Welsh. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
-I've always been aware -of linguistic boundaries. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
-This series is about -a real, geographical boundary. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
-I want to understand the -borderlands' history and culture... | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-..and meet the people who live here. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
-Does living on a border -create its own unique identity? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:34 | |
-Come with me -on a journey to find out. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
-My journey along -the Wales-England is almost over. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
-I've reached Monmouthshire. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-The county was created in 1535. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
-There has been -confusion over the years. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
-Did it belong to Wales or England? | 0:00:58 | 0:01:00 | |
-We'll find out later. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
-This week, we start in an orchard -between Newcastle and Skenfrith. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
-The area is well-known now -for wine and cider. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
-I've come to meet -David Hughes Jones. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-There are many -producers in this area. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
-Yes, many farms -grow apples in their orchards. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
-They press the apples in autumn... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-..and make cider with the juice... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-..so they can drink it -socially all year. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-People also compete in festivals, -to see who makes the best cider. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
-There's a lot of competition -to make the best cider. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
-There are small village shows -and cider festivals in pubs. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
-Is there a tradition -of cider making in Wales? | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-Many people this side -of the border make their own cider. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-Their cider is the best, -or so they say! | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-Of course! | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
-What are the trees in this orchard? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-Apple trees, -for making sweet cider. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
-The farm has diversified. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
-They're grown on a big scale. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-So this is the farm's main crop. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
-Yes. There aren't many animals -grazing between the trees. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
-The farm grows apples. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-They take care of the trees -to get a good crop next year. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-I must admit, I'm a cider fan. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-All this talk has -made my mouth water. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-It's high time to taste a few. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
-What would you like first? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-I've heard that -the best way to drink cider... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-..is to start with dryer cider, -then a sweeter one. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-You're more experienced than me! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-Off you go. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-Shall we start with this medium dry? | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
-Great. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
-Mm. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
-Mm. - -Very nice. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
-You don't come from this area. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-No. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
-I've lived here about 40 years. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-But I'm a Cardiganshire man, -from Penrhyn-Coch near Aberystwyth. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
-I went to school there, then Ardwyn -Grammar School in Aberystwyth. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
-After going to Cardiff University, -I found a job in Monmouth. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
-I've been here since 1976. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-So the job brought you here. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-What kept you here? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
-I married a local girl. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-She comes from the area. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
-The rest is history, as they say. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-Our two children -attended Welsh-medium schools. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-Our grandchildren -go to Abergavenny Welsh School. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
-Let's taste a sweeter cider. -This is medium. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-Gareth, I'm happy to comply. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-Great. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
-That's a fine colour. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-That's a nice sound. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-The Vilberie apples in the dry cider -come from Brittany originally. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
-The Dabinett apples -in the sweeter cider... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-..were found by William Dabinett -growing wild in a Somerset hedge. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
-Do you want to taste another one? -There are three here. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-What is this one? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
-What is this one? - -Naughty Horsey. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
-Right. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
-This one is less bubbly. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
-This one is less bubbly. - -OK. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
-Cheers. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
-Cheers. - -Cheers again. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
-You've moved here. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
-What is the main difference between -the west and the borderlands? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
-In this area, the border -is something on paper. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-We're not aware of a border with -England, about 50 yards from here. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:11 | |
-There are place names like Llangrove -and Llangarron in England... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-..and English names -on the Welsh side of the border. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
-We remember the border -when we go to England. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-We fill our lungs with Welsh air. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-We're happy to breathe -Welsh air when we return. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
-We know it's there, but -don't think about it every day. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-It's something on paper. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-Let's drink a toast -to the borderlands. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-Right. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
-Yes. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:52 | |
-Ah. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
-I could stay here all night. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-Fantastic. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:57 | |
-I leave my bike for a while... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
-..and continue my journey -to Monmouth on the River Wye. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
-It's the fifth longest -river in Britain... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-..coming all the way from -the slopes of Pumlumon in Mid Wales. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-The salmon in the river -can grow to more than 50 pounds... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-..and almost half -the size of this canoe. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-Thanks. That was fantastic! | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-Let's see -what Monmouth has to offer. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-The bridge in Monmouth -is the only one in Britain... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
-..with a tower to protect -the town from the enemy outside. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:43 | |
-Several famous people -have links with the town. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-King Henry V of England -was born here. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-This sculpture is Charles Rolls, -son of the local Baron Llangattock. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-Rolls was the first to fly to France -and back without stopping in 1910. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
-But he's better known... | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-..for establishing one of the most -famous car companies in the world... | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
-..Rolls-Royce. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
-I really like this busy town. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-The narrow streets hide -unusual treasures... | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-..like this remarkable -theatre, the Savoy. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-"To be, or not to be | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-"That is the question" | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
-This is the oldest theatre site -in Wales still staging performances. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:42 | |
-Before leaving Monmouth, -I talk to historian Dr Elin Jones. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
-She's my former teacher and an -amazing ambassador for this area. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:52 | |
-Near The Kymin's round tower -is a perfect place to meet her. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
-It was built by the gentlemen -of the Monmouth Picnic Club in 1794. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
-It's right on the Offa's Dyke Path. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-Can you tell us a little... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
-..about the importance -of Monmouth and Monmouthshire? | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
-Is it part of England or Wales? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-Don't you suggest to me, Gareth -Potter, that it's part of England! | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
-CHUCKLES | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
-This has always been part of Wales. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
-Parts of England were in Wales too. -But this is Wales. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
-Why do you think it's in England? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-As a child, I had a map, -titled Wales And Monmouthshire. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-Right. That's very misleading. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-That's because of the legal system -introduced in the Acts Of Union. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:46 | |
-There were 13 counties in Wales. -It's very hard to divide 13 by four. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
-Monmouthshire was left out. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-It had to join -an English legal circuit. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-That's the only reason. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-That fitted into -a historical pattern. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-When William The Conqueror -arrived in 1066... | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-..he occupied all -of England in a few years. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-Then he sent his most trusted lords -to defend the border with Wales... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
-..that hadn't been conquered. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
-The Normans occupied this area -soon after the Norman conquest. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
-You can see why. -Look at the landscape. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-There are no hills here, -unlike North Wales... | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
-..and no geographical obstacle -for conquerors from the east. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
-Since when have people -lived in this area? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-Good grief, since the beginning! | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
-Since the end of the Ice Age. -There is no evidence before that. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
-But 10,000 years ago, -when the sea level rose again... | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
-..we know people lived here. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
-There's plenty -of archaeological evidence. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
-The most striking evidence... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-..is footprints found -in the River Severn's mud. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-Two adults and a child -walked in the mud. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
-Their footprints were fossilized. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-Now, they're in the National -Museum Of Wales in Cardiff. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-The Chartists came here too. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-The Chartists came here too. - -Yes, they came here in chains. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-Chartists in the industrial -valleys wanted the right to vote... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-..and human rights -we take for granted. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-In 1839, they marched on Newport. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
-They were shot down in front of the -Westgate Hotel. Many were killed. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
-They were buried at night, -in St Woolos graveyard. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-The leaders were brought here... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-..to the Shire Hall -in Monmouth, in chains... | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
-..and sentenced -to that horrific death... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-..of being hanged, quartered... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-..and disembowelled, -in front of their own eyes. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-That was the last time... | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-..that terrible sentence -was pronounced in Britain... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
-..here, in Monmouth Shire Hall. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-But a decision was made -not to execute them. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-They were exiled -for life to Australia. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-One of them, -John Frost, the leader... | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
-..came back to Newport, -his home town. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-Monmouth doesn't seem -to be a Welsh town at all. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-Does the Welsh language -have a history in this area? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
-It does. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-Place names show that Welsh -was spoken here for centuries... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
-..long before they spoke -English or Norman French. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-But because it was -conquered so early... | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-..it was very easy -to turn to English. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
-The English occupiers -were in positions of authority. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-But in the rural areas... | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-..they spoke Welsh and upheld -the old Welsh laws and traditions. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:04 | |
-There was a huge forest in Gwent. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-It was held by Welsh speakers -for many centuries. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
-Now, Welsh is heard -in Welsh-medium schools... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-..in the old Monmouthshire... | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-..and the Welsh schools in Newport, -the most anglicized area. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
-It's a kind of rearguard action. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
-Efforts are being made now -to open Welsh schools... | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
-..and raise Welsh speakers -in towns, not the countryside. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
-Later, my journey down -the border ends in Chepstow. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
-I share one of the unique -celebrations of the border people. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |

-Well, -I'm nearing the end of my journey. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
-Before I reach Chepstow -and the South Wales coast... | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
-..I stop in Tintern Abbey. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-The abbey was established -on the River Wye in 1131. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
-It fell into ruin when Henry VIII -disbanded the monasteries. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
-In the late 18th century... | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-..it became popular with bards, -for instance William Wordsworth... | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
-..and artists like JMW Turner. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-It still attracts visitors today. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-The beat poet, Allen Ginsberg, -visited in 1967. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
-He wrote about the experience. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
-Iron Maiden -made a video here in 1988. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-After 150 miles... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
-..the last leg of my journey -along the Wales-England border... | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
-..takes me -from Tintern Abbey to Chepstow. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-This is the end of the path. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
-The river is the border -between the two countries. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-The town grew around -this splendid castle on a cliff. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
-To learn more about Chepstow... | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-..I met up with Dr Glyn Jones, who -is an expert on this ancient town. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:41 | |
-Dr Glyn, -you've bought me to the garden. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-I can see a massive castle! | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
-The castle gives the town its name. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-The castle gives the town its name. - -Yes, this is Chepstow Castle. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-The Welsh name comes -from Castle Of Gwent. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-It's said Chepstow was named -after "ceap" and "stowe"... | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-..meaning market place. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-That takes us right back. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-The Normans started to build -the stone castle in 1067... | 0:15:07 | 0:15:13 | |
-..a year after the Norman Conquest. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-This is the oldest stone castle -in the country... | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
-..and it's in the garden! | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
-Fantastic. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-The country's largest port -was just around the corner. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
-They built ships. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-All sorts of industry -took place there on the River Wye. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
-The river was important -to transport limestone... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |

-There was no Welsh at all. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |

-I started to spell my name -with an "F". | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
-It's a challenge -to defend the language in Chepstow. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:34 | |

-..to rejoin the festivities -and learn more about Mari Lwyd. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |

-..the meeting on the bridge -on the Wales-England border. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
-What better way to end my journey -along the border... | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
-..than at an event -where the Welsh and English... | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
-..literally come together? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-What has my journey taught me -about the people of the borderlands? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:11 | |
-On rugby or football days... | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-..the difference -between the two countries... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
-..is enthusiastically celebrated. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |

-..there is a joint celebration, too. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-The border can unite people -as well as divide them. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
