Bwrw Glaw/ the Lost Rainforests of Britain

On a rainy/sunny day today I am always reminded how most of what is now Wales used to a temperate rainforest until fairly recently

Now 90% of Wales is farmland

But … if you want to experience a little of how it used to look i recommend hiking Pen Pych

Late 19th century language map of Britain and Ireland

Separate point, it’s only really recently that Wales and Welsh has been standardised in English.

Often you find terms like - Cymric, Cambrian, British used very frequently in Victoria texts.
