Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

The conflicts of the past stand tall in the form of rock-top castles of Aberystwyth and Harlech, where Owain Glyndŵr established his parliament and military strength during his revolt at the start of the 15th century. The industrial age brought new means of transport with narrow-gauge railways, and eventually the Cambrian Coast Railway and haulage contractors, undertaking the work that used to be done by sailors and drovers. The new communications opened wider horizons for the tourist trade and this coast with its history and beauty soon attracted tourists. This continues today along its mountain lanes and coastal paths, and the area is certainly a pleasant place to visit. It is also well worth learning and understanding more about what lies under its present surface. The Cambrian Coast Railway The Cambrian Line (Welsh: Llinell Cambria) is a railway from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth and Pwllheli in Wales, constructed between 1855 and 1869. It is one of the most scenic railways, running through the Cambrian Mountains of central Wales and along the coast of Cardigan Bay and its panoramic estuaries.
