This Sunday I had the huge honour of being a guest on the Lynn Bowles radio show on Radio Wales, along with Derek Brockway. Derek and I were asked for an interview to share some stories about the new season of Weatherman Walking, currently on every Friday evening on BBC 1 at 7.35pm, and now […]
The idea that Stonehenge’s bluestones – a number of stones making up one of the stone circles (yes, there is more than one!) – come from Pembrokeshire has been around for quite some time. But exactly where has been contested for just as long. In episode 2 of Weatherman Walking: The Welsh Coast Series 3, I speak to the person who solved this 5,500 year old mystery!
Join Poppy and I on our recent walk to Y Gop Hill, Trelawnyd, in our latest video. We spent a sunny afternoon visiting the Neolithic mound, which is not far from Prestatyn, Rhyl and St Asaph. The mound dates to the Neolithic period – the ‘New Stone Age’. In archaeology, the Stone Age is broken […]
I am so pleased to share that the new series of Weatherman Walking starts this Friday, 9th April. Filmed in 2020, not long after having Poppy, and with strict social distancing procedures, I present some fascinating features in three episodes of Weatherman Walking The Welsh Coast Series 3. You may also spot me in at […]
In this month’s Caerwys Chronicle you will find a short article by me! As well as all of the usual features, and some other special articles, I was delighted to be asked to contribute to this month’s edition of one of our local village’s very popular newspaper. Caerwys itself is a beautiful little place, with […]
Join us on our latest video for a circular route up onto Moel y Parc in the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We look at the views, the history, and reflect on the importance of discovering more in your locality and loving where you live.
Today marks International Women’s Day 2021, and to celebrate, Poppy and I headed out for a walk to discover more about a very special saint who once visited our home village. I’ve written a few posts about wonderful women in history before now (see idigarchaeology.co.uk/welsh-women, idigarchaeology.co.uk/gwenllian, and idigarchaeology.co.uk/women for example). Today, especially for International Women’s […]
As it is World Book Day, I thought I should finally tell you a little bit about my ‘big’ book – my thesis. And it is now available to download electronically from Bangor University here. I’ve been involved with a few books over the years, but this one is 100,000+ words and 7+ years of […]
Really pleased to let you know that UK viewers are getting the chance to rewatch Series 2 of Weatherman Walking, the Welsh Coast. You can now see episodes on Sunday mornings on BBC2. On this last season, you can see me on episodes 3, 5 and 7. Episode 3 will be shown this Sunday, 21st […]
You may (or may not!) have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet on here over the last few months. And that is because I’ve been busy having a baby! In the middle of a pandemic..! Her middle name is Gwenllian, inspired by a very cool Welsh person from around 900 years ago. History’s Gwenllian was […]
