Heledd Wyn Hardy from University of South Wales came to St Fagans on 26th July to film the coracles, net fisherman and Jim Lilford from Tomos a Lilford Brewery (who brewed our special Cwrwgl ale). You can view her video below (some of this video is in Welsh)
We all thought the coracle (curach) had died out as a traditional working boat in Scotland in the 18th Century with the cessation of timber floating on the River Spey.
Anyone who has been for a paddle on many of the country’s rivers in the past few years will have noticed much litter floating around, or caught in overhanging branches.
In May 2025 when I drove down to Cilgerran on the Teifi for a short break, I made a pilgrimage to Cenarth, a place I had not been since I was 10.
