-I'm on a tour of Anglesey, exploring -some of the names along its coast. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
-This episode -focuses on its western side. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
-The region is associated -with saints and villains. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
-The place names are testament -to the influences, old and new... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
-..as the language -continues to ebb and flow. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
-Our journey -takes us from Rhosneigr... | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
-..along the western coast, past -Porth Cwyfan to Llanddwyn Island. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
-This area of Anglesey -is a surfing hot spot... | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
-..as south-westerly winds toss -large waves against the shoreline. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
-Years ago, a different crowd -flocked to the area. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-They too made use of the waves, -but for very different reasons. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
-This is Traeth Crigyll... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
-..near Rhosneigr. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
-The Welsh name Crigyll -means bay or cove. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-This old map shows it's -a perfect, natural trap for ships. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-Many a ship has met its fate here -over the years. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
-For a century, this area -was famous, or rather infamous... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
-..for the actions of men -that were internationally known... | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
-..as Lladron Crigyll -(Thieves of Crigyll). | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
-Actor John Glyn Owen -is a local man... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-..who's been brought up -on stories about these villains. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
-What's the story -behind Lladron Crigyll? | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
-The Crigyll beach of the 18th -century was a very exciting place. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-It's claimed that the thieves... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-..who looted the ships -that run aground here... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
-..purposely planted lanterns -on the horns of cattle... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-..to attract ships to shore. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
-During that time, -it's also believed that mothers... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-..on putting -their children to bed... | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
-..encouraged them, -whilst saying their prayers... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
-..to pray for a large ship -to turn up on the beach by morning. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-We're talking about -an impoverished era. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
-And ships -were laden with all kinds of stuff. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-Lewis Morris, -one of the Anglesey Morrises... | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-..wrote a poem -damning these thieves. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-There's a couplet which goes... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
-..The news makes me a happy man -That Lladron Crigyll will hang. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
-He must've hated them. He was -a toll collector for a short while. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
-They must've been anathema to him. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-They must've been anathema to him. - -Many years later... | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-..following the wreck -of Charming Jenny... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-..a ship carrying -a cargo of alcoholic drinks... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-..Lewis Morris's wish was granted. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-One of the thieves, a man -named John Parry from Rhoscolyn... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
-..was hanged. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
-From what I understand, -some were occasionally set free. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-Yes, on account of Judge Martin -from Beaumaris being drunk. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-Reports suggest he was always drunk. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
-Despite their guilt? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
-Despite their guilt? - -They were obviously guilty. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-They also achieved notoriety -in the national press. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-This is from The Times... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-..dated 30 October 1867. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
-Let me find it. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
-"The wreck is now prey -to the notorious wreckers... | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-"..known to Welsh -seafaring men as Lladron Crigyll. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-"Many hundreds of them were stealing -whatever they could carry away. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
-"The efforts of Captain Jones -and the Coastguard... | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-"..were utterly inadequate -to protect the property." | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-There were hundreds of them. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
-There were hundreds of them. - -I doubt there were hundreds. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
-Slight hyperbole, perhaps. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
-Hyperbole -on the part of the journalist. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
-They don't sound like the kind -of men I'd want to tackle either. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
-They were dangerous. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-Give them a wide berth! | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-People nowadays make the most of -the waves in a very different way. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
-Guto Roberts -and Bedwyr ap Gwyn live locally. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
-They give surfing lessons -in Rhosneigr... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-..through the medium of Welsh. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-Surfing conjures up images -of Hawaii or Cornwall. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-This is a Welsh-medium surfing club. -How did it begin? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-There was enough demand -but no Welsh speakers available. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
-Guto and I qualified -as surfing instructors... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-..and we decided to start a club. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
-You teach -through the medium of Welsh too. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-Yes, everything's in Welsh, -including the terminology. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
-We wanted locals -to enjoy their coastline... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
-..and be taught -in their native language. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
-Hopefully it'll lead to change. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-Have you had to coin new terms? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-Yes, we've been developing -new terms for surfing. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
-When it comes to surfing etiquette -and so on... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-..if someone cuts across another's -wave, it's called a drop-in. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
-"Torri ar draws" is a term -that already exists in Welsh... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-Rather than "gollwng fewn"? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:56 | |
-Rather than "gollwng fewn"? - -That sounds silly. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-"Torri ar draws" already exists, -so why not use it? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
-Porth Neigwl -is a popular beach in Lleyn. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:07 | |
-Its name has come full circle. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-Some people are referring to it -as Y Geg in Welsh. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:13 | |
-They've heard the English, Hell's -Mouth, and translated it back... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
-..to Ceg Uffern or whatever. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-They refer to it as Y Geg instead -of the original, Porth Neigwl. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
-If they knew it was that to begin -with, they'd call it Porth Neigwl... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
-..instead of translating it. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-..instead of translating it. - -Children are without prejudice. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-Are they keen for you to teach them -the names of the beaches and so on? | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
-Yes, they just take it as gospel. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-As part of our business, we also -teach people from further afield. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
-We just give them the Welsh names. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-The beach will be known -by its Welsh name then. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-We call this beach Tyn Tywyn, -whether they're Welsh or not. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
-That's its name. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-Does it also enrich -their experience... | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-..of being at the seaside... | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-..from knowing the Welsh names -and a little history? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:11 | |
-We're proud of the area too. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-I was brought up in Benllech. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-We've always referred to -these places by their Welsh names. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-It's going against the tide -by saying, "It's not called that." | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
-We take pride in our locality... | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-..and there's history to names -like Tyn Tywyn and Porth Nobla. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-Barclodiad Y Gawres -is on our doorstep... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-..and that takes us back in history -thousands of years. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
-I feel like joining you. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
-Get changed then. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-There is a strong argument -for what Bedwyr and Guto are doing. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:04 | |
-They are retaining native names -and sharing them among the young. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
-But we mustn't get misled... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-..by believing colourful -explanations based on hearsay. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
-Porth Nobla is the name -of this beautiful beach. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-Years ago, -there was a coin called a noble. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
-Minted in the 14th century, -it was worth one-third of a pound. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
-According to the story... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-..a ship or a boat came to shore... | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
-..and shed a load of nobles -all over the beach. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
-It'd be nice -if that story were true... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-..because -these are worth thousands nowadays. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
-Unfortunately, -it's more probable... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-..that the name's derivation -is far less romantic. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
-Quite simply, it was considered -the noblest landing place. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
-Across the peninsula from -Porth Nobla is Porth Trecastell... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
-..known as Cable Bay in English. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-Cable Bay is a relatively -recent name originating from 1902... | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
-..when cable telegraph arrived, -connecting Wales and Ireland. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
-On Mynydd Cnwc, overlooking the bay, -is Barclodiad Y Gawres... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
-..Wales's largest -Neolithic burial chamber... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
-..dating from around 3,000BC. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
-In terms of its shape and pattern -of the stone carvings... | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
-..it's similar to burial chambers -found in Boyne Valley, Ireland. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
-This is what -connects this location with Ireland. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-5,000 years... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
-..before the telegraph wire -was connected. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |

-I'm exploring some of the names -found on Anglesey's west coast. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-The little church in the sea -is one of the island's wonders. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-Porth China is the cove -to the north of it. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
-According to some, a ship -laden with china came ashore here. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
-The church of Saint Cwyfan -stands on Ynys Cribiniau... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-..which refers to -the rock's grooves. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-It's not shown as an island -on old maps... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-..but rather -as a part of the mainland. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
-Porth Cwyfan means St Cwyfan's Bay. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-Porth, bay, -and Cwyfan, the saint's name. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
-Further north of Porth Cwyfan, -past the sand dunes of Aberffraw... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-..is the village of Malltraeth. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-We've now entered -the Bodorgan estate... | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-..one of the most famous and most -influential estates on Anglesey. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-It extends towards the sea... | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
-..and includes the beaches, islands -and the small rocks near the shore. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
-We've been granted permission -to visit a small island... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-..which has -an extraordinary name and history. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-This is Caseg (Horse) Malltraeth, -an island first recorded in 1617. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:53 | |
-A cluster of smaller rocks -closer to the shore... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-..are called Ebolion (Foals). | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
-This rock was given its name... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
-..due to its resemblance -to a horse in the sea. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
-But it doesn't -just look like a horse. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-When the southeast wind blows, in -the opposite direction to normal... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
-..the elements -hit this rock in such a way... | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
-..that it makes the strangest noise. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-It vibrates -throughout the entire land. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-People say they can hear -Caseg Malltraeth neighing. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
-They say it's a sign -that adverse weather is on the way. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-Here's a question for you to ponder. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
-Is it called Caseg Malltraeth -because it neighs... | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-..or does it neigh because its name -is Caseg Malltraeth? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
-Who knows? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
-Malltraeth cobb was built at -the beginning of the 19th century. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
-Prior to that, -the sea gushed over this marshland. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-At high tide it reached the town -of Llangefni, some miles away. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
-Behind the cobb lies Cors Ddyga. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-There are names within the bog -that betray its coastal origin. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-This is Tyn Fflat. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-Here the cargo boat was kept to -transfer goods to nearby bodorgan. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:22 | |
-There were several fords -to cross here at low tide. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
-Rhyd Pen-y-Crug, Rhyd Lydan and Rhyd -Felen are just some of the names. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
-Only their names exist -as evidence of a time... | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-..when this area -flooded with the tide. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
-It's remarkable to think nowadays... | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
-..that there are records -of shipwrecks in these very fields. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
-As Cors Ddyga... | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-..reaches the administrative -district of Llangefni... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
-..we come across a name that makes -no sense at all nowadays. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
-I'm approximately -eight miles from the sea... | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-..a mere stone's throw away from -Llangefni at the heart of Anglesey. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
-This elevation of land -is called Ynys Cefni... | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-..or Ynys Las -by the man who farms this area. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-Before Malltraeth Cobb was built, -an island stood here at high tide... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
-..and was surrounded by sea -in every direction. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-It's hard to picture nowadays... | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
-..but retaining its name ensures -we retain this area's history. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
-From lesser-known coastal names... | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-..to the most famous of them all -on Anglesey. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
-This is Llanddwyn Island, -named after St Dwynwen. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-The ruins of her church -are still evident. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-For centuries, the island -has been a destination for pilgrims. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
-Natural Resources Wales works hard -to preserve the island's beauty. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
-They line the pathways with shells. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
-It's fitting that shells -are laid on the pathways... | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
-..since shells -were the symbols of the pilgrims. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
-The grooves -symbolize the number of people... | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
-..who came from far and wide... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-..to the one location -for the same reason. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
-How much maintenance work -is required to retain its beauty? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
-A lot of work is involved. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
-Around 250,000 visitors a year -pass through the gates... | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
-..and of that number, around 30%-40% -venture up to the island. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
-We have to ensure -their safety on site. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-We work around them and ensure -a high standard of horticulture. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
-What does your work entail? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
-I've a few job to do. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-I do a lot in the dunes -as well as the island. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-I search for rare plants -and document them on maps... | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-..to make sure -they're preserved for the future... | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-..so that they can thrive. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-Do you cultivate rare flowers? | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
-Do you cultivate rare flowers? - -Yes, that's the idea. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-We've collected wild seeds -from this site... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
-..planted them in the soil, -and once they've blossomed... | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-..we do the same thing again. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
-So that you end up -with a beautiful, natural meadow? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-Yes, that's the idea. We even -plant in the chapel's cemetery. | 0:16:55 | 0:17:00 | |
-You just might have -the best job in the world. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-I think so. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-Those who were ill or unlucky in -love made pilgrimages to Llanddwyn. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-There are reports -of people coming here... | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
-..and falling asleep on a grassy -area known as Gwely Esyth... | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
-..which is beneath the spot -where the tower stands today. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-Once pilgrims awoke and -inscribed their names in the turf... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
-..they were cured -of their complaints. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
-Dr David Owens of Newborough has -an extensive knowledge of the area. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-His grandfather was one of Llanddwyn -Island's last sea captains. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |
-What a spectacular view. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-You've spent a large part -of your childhood in these cottages. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
-Not in the cottages, as such... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
-..but during school holidays, -my friends and I would come here... | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
-..to sunbathe and swim... | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-..or go boating or fishing. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
-What I've tried to do... | 0:18:14 | 0:18:15 | |
-..is label as much as I can. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-This is the portion which -connects Llanddwyn to the mainland. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
-This is its neck. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-The first place we come to -is Porth Cychod. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
-It was a place -for boats to shelter... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-..after they'd been fishing -and so on. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
-There were few places to shelter -on the island... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
-..until they built -this causeway in front of us. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
-This didn't exist before 1815. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-So it was an island -before building the causeway? | 0:18:50 | 0:18:54 | |
-This would've been the best beach -on the entire island. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
-That's my understanding. If we -carry on, we come to a small bay. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
-It's called Porth Yr Halen. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
-There was a time when high taxes... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-..were levied on salt. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-Smugglers would smuggle it in -to overcome that problem. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-That explains its name. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
-It's a discreet little cove... | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-..to smuggle contraband! | 0:19:23 | 0:19:24 | |
-This is Ynys Y Clochydd. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
-I've heard people refer -to this beach as Porth Clochydd. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:34 | |
-But I've also heard people -call it Porth Gwenith. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-From where -is the name Porth Clochydd derived? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
-There was once -a church on Llanddwyn... | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
-..and perhaps centuries ago... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
-..a sexton lived here. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
-He might've fished in the bay... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-..or moored his boat there. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-I don't know the reason for it. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-I don't know the reason for it. - -It must be an archaic name. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
-Yes, maybe so. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
-The rock over my left shoulder... | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
-..is called Craig Y Ganan. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
-The cannon behind us... | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
-..was only positioned here -25 years ago. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
-It used to sit on top of that rock. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-It used to sit on top of that rock. - -Craig Y Ganan refers to the cannon. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-What purpose did it serve? | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
-When the crewmen -were summoned to the lifeboat... | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
-..they'd fire the cannon. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
-It alerted the people of Newborough. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
-There was also a cannon there, -on a farm called Maes Y Ceirchdir... | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
-..which was fired in response. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-To let them know -there was a crew on the way. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
-There weren't enough crewmen... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-..among the few sailors -who lived here... | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
-..to row a heavy boat -in treacherous weather... | 0:20:58 | 0:21:04 | |
-..to Caernarfon, for instance. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-To the southwest... | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
-..there are two islands in the sea. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-Ynys Y Cranc (Crab Island) -and Ynys Y Mochyn (Pig Island). | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
-Why were they called these names? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-You can understand crab... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
-..but I doubt they caught them -under rocks and in crab holes. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
-So Ynys Y Mochyn -is the furthest one? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
-A pig at one time must've had the -misfortune of ending up there. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-A boat carrying pigs -might well have sunk there. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-It might've been transporting pigs. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
-It might've been transporting pigs. - -And the name has stuck. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-It's a minute island. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
-You've given us these names -that would've been used locally. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
-There's a wealth of them. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-I noticed this map where they've -labelled the beaches and islands. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:14 | |
-Considering that so many -of these names are being lost... | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
-..this example should be followed. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
-Apps and software could be designed -to support such maps... | 0:22:22 | 0:22:26 | |
-..introducing pronunciations -and the history behind the names. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
-That's a matter -that should be discussed... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
-..by councillors and financiers. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-It should be up for discussion, -in my opinion. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
