Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
The Gwent Levels line the north shore of the Severn in South Wales: Cas-gwent (Chepstow) at its head; its more famous cousin, the Somerset Levels, across the water; the Welsh capital, Caerdydd (Cardiff), at its feet. Over the course of two years, Marsha O'Mahony walked foreshore, footpath, and country lane building a remarkable oral history of this unique landscape and the people who live there.
