The Domesday Book records one of the largest woodlands in England extending from the outskirts of Stafford almost to Tamworth, of which Cankwood and Cannock Chase are a part of.
The oaks of the Cannock Chase woodland were exploitedto provide the charcoal required as part of the iron-workingindustry. Although strict rules to control the felling of treeswere generally respected, at the end of the 16th centuryone man’s greed was responsible for the near-totaldestruction of the woodlands. The only surviving fragmentwas the woodland now known as Brocton Coppice. The oldoaks to be found there are the direct descendants of thosethat were recorded in the Domesday Book.
This is an opportunity to find out about medieval woodlandmanagement, some of the rare plants and animals foundin Brocton Coppice today, and the challenges associatedwith the conservation of such an exceptional feature.

Tirwedd Bywyd a Gwaith Dathliad o’r 186 o filltiroedd o Lwybr Arfordir Sir Benfro // gan Jean Thomas
Does dim syniad ‘da fi pam, ond mi ges fy ‘medyddio’ gan wylanod yn Ninbych-y-pysgod yn amlach nag y mae’n dda ‘da fi gofio! Mae fel pe byddai gyda fi gylchoedd llesmeiriol yn cyd-ymdroi gyda ‘mhen yn y canol yn galw ‘i lawr man hyn bois, dyma’r lle …’ a does dim sy’n ymledu’n well na baw gwylan! Ond fel mae’n digwydd, ‘d yw hynny ddim yn hollol iawn, un smotyn bach o goch alisarin, ac mae e’ ym mhobman.
Hap a damwain yw e’ medden nhw: pe bawn i heb gwato ymysg y rhedyn gyda’r fflasg a’r camera am awr gyfan yn aros iddyn nhw lansio roced oddi ar y clogwyni ar bwys Maenorbŷr … ‘dyma fe nawr, wysg ei gefn ar y ramp, milwyr yn sefyll o amgylch yn disgwyl arno fe, yn ôl yn ddigon pell i fod yn ddiogel a … na ddim nawr ta p’un i, bant a fe, jiw dyma fe eto …’ awr gyfan o hyn a’r oll ‘w i’n ei gael yw Bwm Bwm wedi i mi droi ‘nghefn. Y peth yw, oni bai am yr awr honno wed ei ‘bradu’ yna mae’n debyg na fyddwn i erioed wedi gweld yr heulforgi deng munud wedi hynny, yn whilibawan fel pe byddai’n cael trafferth gyda’i bledren, ei bledren nofio ta beth, pe byddai’n bysgodyn coch, ond doed e’ ddim. Heulforgi oedd e’! Fe ‘na mae’r llwybr. Does dim syniad ‘da chi beth welwch chi nesaf.
Ambell waith, wrth gerdded yn yr haul lle mae’r coed yn ymestyn i ymyl y tywod gwyn meddal yn ne’r sir, fe allech chi gau eich llygaid ac yna, wedi eu hagor, fe allech chi daeru eich bod wedi eich cipio gan ryw law fawr nerthol a’ch disgyn yn Ffrainc. Yna, yng ngogledd Sir Benfro, wrth gerdded yn y gaeaf, onid yw’r glaw yn dod â’r lliwiau mas, coch y rhedyn, lliw llwydlas y clogwyni? Yn ddiweddar hefyd, mae hyd yn oed yr eithin melyn yn blodeuo pan ddylai fe ddim; toreth o liwiau ar dirwedd y gaeaf.
Yma yn Hwlffordd y ganed fi, â bod yn fanwl, ond dim ond yr ysbyty oedd hynny; ym Mhen-y-Cwm oedd fy nghartref. Dyna’r lle tyfais i lan yn cerdded llwybr y glannau, yn nofio a syrffio, casglu blodau, dal pryfaid anferthol ac ambell i fablath, llanw jariau gyda phenbyliaid, gwylio’r rhedyn yn newid ei liw o wyrdd i liw’r rhwd ac yna’n felyngoch dwys wedi i’r ffermwyr fod mas yn llosgi yn yr hydref; pysgota oddi ar draeth Niwgwl gyda ‘mrawd lle’r oedd e’n ennill y tlysau tra’r oeddwn i’n dala’r silod mân a gwylio’r golau’n pylu a’r lliwiau’n newid dros y môr o amgylch “Clustiau’r Asyn” (Porthmynawyd); hela mwyar duon, eirin bach neu shrwmps gyda Mam a’m chwaer. Mae’n rhaid dweud yma mai’r lle gorau am shrwmps oedd, nid
y clogwyn, ond y maes awyr wedi’i dorri’n deidi ym Mreudeth, y lle, mae’n debyg, y dysgais i redeg yn eitha’ clou pan ddaeth dyn y ci i’r golwg yn y pellter! Yn ddiweddarach, wedi i mi fod yn y Coleg Celf, wnes i ferwi a pharatoi crancod i’w gwerthu i dai bwyta lleol. Roedd hynny’n ennill digon i mi dalu am gynfasau a phaent am y flwyddyn. Gwaith caled oedd hynny!
Fe ddechreuais i gerdded/paentio ar gyfer yr arddangosfa yma yn 2006, ond mae’r lluniau hyn yn seiliedig ar wybodaeth sy’ wedi bod yn treiddio i mewn i mi ar hyd fy mywyd ac mae cerdded y llwybr wedi adnewyddu’r ddelwedd, wedi llanw’r manylion. Fe es i bant am gyfnod, yn gyntaf i’r Coleg Celf yng Nghasnewydd (Sir Fynwy) ac yna i Fryste ac yn ddiweddarach i Sheffield, lle’r oeddwn i’n cadw theatr bypedau mewn ysbyty meddwl; ges i amserau da yn y ddau le ond ‘d yw e’ ddim yr un fath pan nad ydych chi’n gallu agor eich drws cefn ar y cwbl sy’ gyda ni yma.
Fe ddechreuais i baentio portreadau bron iawn heb fwriadu. Roeddwn i’n mwynhau paentio ffermwyr mewn marchnadoedd a phobl yn y sioeau amaethyddol. Yna daeth un comisiwn yn sgil y llall a dyna fi, yn baentiwr portreadau. Aeth cryn amser heibio cyn i mi ddod i baentio’r tirlun. Roeddwn i wedi bod mas yn arlunio erioed, ond yn bennaf, pethau i glirio ‘mhen oedd y clogwyni a’r môr, modd i roi trefn ar syniadau.
Yn bennaf, roeddwn i wedi bod yn paentio’r mannau gorau, hynny yw, y mannau gorau i mi: Capel Santes Non, Porthgain, Cwm mawr (Pen-y-Cwm), Abereiddi, pob un ar bwys fy nghartref, ond mynd ambell waith tua’r gogledd neu ‘i lawr i’r gwaelod’. Roeddwn ni wedi bod yn meddwl ers llawer dydd am gerdded y llwybr i gyd. Nawr rwy’n ei baentio hefyd. Mae llwybr arfordir Sir Benfro yn fwy na golygfeydd; mae e’n golygu gwylio’r creigiau, yn plymio’n serth gyda phennau gwastad a’r tegeirianau a’r ehedyddion yng Nghastellmartin yn plygu drosodd yn ymylon garw sy’n codi’n ysbigau mas o’r tywod ym Marloes, lle mae’r mulfrain, y palod a’r cornicyllod yn gwibio a phlymio, pysgota ac ymgynnull yn y gwyll. Mae’r nodweddion o waith dyn yn adrodd eu hanes eu hunain, o ryfela o amgylch yr aber, mwyngloddio yn Saundersfoot a Niwgwl, chwarela yn Abereiddi, amaethu a physgota, byw a llafurio gyda’r tir a’r môr. Cloddiau, gwrthfuriau, siambrau claddu, ac yn eu mysg brain coesgoch, morloi a dolffiniaid. Nid ‘disgwyl’ arno yw’r peth, bod yn ddim
ond rhyw wyliwr wrth fynd heibio, nage, i mi mae’n golygu ei ‘deimlo’, creu marciau ar bapur, marciau llawen gwenoliaid y môr ar wib neu farciau brwsh ysgubol y cerrynt gwyllt. Lliwiau yw e’, gweadau yw e’, golau yw e’. Mae’n golygu ymdeimlo nid yn unig ag un man ond gyda’r cyfan, gyda symudiad ac amser, a threigl amser. Mae’r holl luniau hyn, pa un a ydynt ar gynfas neu ar bapur, yn olew neu’n olew a gludwaith, gyda rhywfaint o siarcol a sialc. Rwy’n hoffi gweithio’n glou i gynnal y teimlad o uniongyrchedd, symudiad a bywyd. Yn aml iawn mae gyda fi 4 neu 5 llun ‘ar y gweill’ yn y gobaith felly na fyddaf yn syrthio i’r fagl o orweithio llun a cholli ei nwyf.
A! Y gludwaith! Dyna hwyl! Mae ambell i siop elusen yn Hwlffordd lle maen nhw’n fy ngalw i’n “fenyw frethyn”. Mae popeth amdano yn hwyl, chwilota yn y siopau, ffeiriau sborion a chist car, i gael y darnau iawn o frethyn, rhywbeth bach doniol ar y cynfas, fel torri sgert yn ddarnau y gwnes i ei gwisgo un tro (mae’n wir, mae rhai pobl wedi fy ngweld mewn sgert …) ar gyfer ei defnyddio hi ar gyfer creigiau oherwydd bod lluniau o grancod bach a chregyn wedi eu printio ar y sgert; yna sgwmblan paent dros ben y brethyn. Fodd bynnag, y tro cyntaf y defnyddiais i frethyn, roedd hynny’n fwy trwy raid. Roedd hynny tua 17 o flynyddoedd yn ôl. Ychydig iawn o baent oedd gyda fi’n weddill a chynfas mawr i’w lenwi pan ddigwyddais i edrych i lawr a jawl erioed roedd y crys yr oeddwn yn ei wisgo yr union liw yr oedd ei angen arnaf! Dydw i erioed wedi edrych yn ôl ers hynny, ond mae’n rhaid dweud, casgliad digon pitw o ddillad sy’ gyda fi!
Arddangosfa “organig” yw hon. Bydd yn teithio Cymru ac Iwerddon tros y ddwy flynedd nesaf. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw byddaf yn dal i gerdded a phaentio. Mae’n debyg na fydd gyda fi yfory neu drannoeth awydd paentio’r un peth sy’n fy nenu heddiw. Felly, os digwydd i chi ddod i fy arddangosfa mewn lleoliad arall fe gewch chi rywbeth newydd pob tro. Erbyn 2010 byddaf yn cyhoeddi llyfr am fy mhererindod ar y llwybr a datblygiad fy lluniau.
Rwy’n gobeithio y bydd fy ngwaith yn rhoi rhyw syniad i chi o’r modd y mae’r llwybr yn fy swyno – pob un o’i 186 o filltiroedd – ac y cewch chi eich ysbrydoli i roi cynnig arno eich hun.

A Living, Working Landscape A celebration of 186 miles of Pembrokeshire’s Coast Path // by Jean Thomas
I don’t know why it is: I’ve been ‘blessed’ by seagulls in Tenby more times than I care to remember! It’s like I have concentric, hypnotic circles on the top of my head calling ‘down here boys, this is the place…’and nothing spreads quite like gull poo! Well, actually that’s not right, one tiny spot of alizarin crimson, and its everywhere.
Serendipity they call it: if I’d not perched amongst the bracken with my flask and camera for a whole hour waiting for a rocket to be launched off the cliffs near Manobier…‘here it comes, reverse onto the ramp, soldiers standing around looking at it, back off to a safe distance and…nope not the right time, take it away, ah here it comes again…’a whole hour of that and all I get is Boom Boom when my back is turned. Well if not for that “wasted” hour then probably I would never have seen the basking shark ten minutes later, lolling around looking like he had a bladder problem, well swim bladder that is, if he were a goldfish, which he wasn’t. He was a basking shark! The path is like that, you
just never know what is round the bend. Sometimes, walking in the sun where the trees go right down to the soft white sand in the south of the county, you could close your eyes and when you open them, you’d swear that you have been plucked by some mighty hand and dropped in France. Then, in north Pembrokeshire, walking in Winter, doesn’t the rain bring out the colours, reds of the bracken, the blue-greys of the cliffs? And, of late, even the yellow gorse flowers when it shouldn’t; a riot of colour in the Winter landscape.
I was born here, Haverfordwest, to be particular, but that was only the hospital; home was Pen-y-Cwm, which is where I grew up walking the coastal path: swimming and surfing, picking flowers, catching bugs and lizards, filling jars with tadpoles, watching the bracken change from green to rust to deep amber after the farmers had been out burning in the Autumn; fishing off Newgale beach with my brother where he won the trophies whilst I caught tiddlers and watched the fading light and the changing colours over the sea around the “Donkey’s ears” (Porthmynawyd); picking blackberries, sloes or mushrooms with my Mam and sister. It should be said here that the best place for mushrooms was not the cliff, but the neatly shaved airfield at RNAS Brawdy, which is probably where I learned to run quite fast when the dog handler appeared in the distance! Later, after Art College, I boiled and dressed crabs to supply local restaurants which earned me enough to buy canvas and paint for the year. That was hard work!
I began walking/painting for this exhibition in 2006, but these paintings are based on information that has been absorbed throughout my life and walking the path has refreshed the image, filled in the detail. I went away for a while, first to Art College in Newport (Monmouthshire) and then Bristol and later to Sheffield where I ran a puppet theatre in a mental hospital; each place had its moments, but it’s not the same when you can’t open your back door onto all of this.
I became a portrait painter almost by default. I enjoyed painting farmers at markets and people in the agricultural shows. Then one commission led to another and there I was, a portrait painter. It took me a while to start painting the landscape. I had always sat out drawing, but mainly I used the cliffs and the sea to clear my head, to sort out ideas.
Mostly I’d been painting favoured spots, those favoured by me that is: St. Non’s, Porthgain, Cwm mawr (Pen-y-Cwm), Abereiddi, all close to home, with the occasional foray north or ‘down below’. I’d always had it in mind to walk the whole path. Now I am painting it too. Pembrokeshire’s coastal path is more than vistas; it is watching the rocks, sheer with flat tops and orchids and skylarks at Castle Martin fold over into jagged edges that spike up out of the sand in Marloes, where gannets, puffins and shearwaters glide and dive and fish and gather in the dusk; . The marks of man tell their own stories, of warring around the estuary, mining at Saundersfoot and Newgale, quarrying at Abereiddi, farming and fishing, living and toiling with the land and sea. Earthworks, fortifications, burial chambers, mixed with choughs, seals, dolphins.
It’s not ‘looking’ at it, being a mere bystander, for me it’s ‘feeling’ it, making marks on paper, happy marks of swooping terns or sweeping brushstrokes of racing currents. It’s colours, it’s textures, it’s light. It is getting a feel not just for one place but for the whole, for movement and time, and the passing of time. All of these paintings, whether on canvas or paper, are oil or oil and collage, with some charcoal, and chalk. I like to work quickly to maintain a feeling of immediacy, of movement and life. I quite often have 4 or 5 paintings on the go so that hopefully I don’t become trapped into overworking a painting so losing its vibrancy.
Ah! the collage! It’s fun isn’t it? There are charity shops in Haverfordwest that call me the “cloth lady”. Everything about it is fun; rummaging round shops, jumbles and car boot sales looking for the right bits of cloth; having a little joke on the canvas, like cutting up a skirt I once wore (yes it has be known for me to wear a skirt…) to use for rocks because the print on the skirt was of small crabs and shells; then scumbling paint over the top of the cloth. However, the first time I used cloth it was more out of necessity. It was about 17 years ago: I had very little paint left and a large canvas to cover when I happened to look down and blow me the shirt I was wearing was just the colour I needed! I’ve not looked back since, but it has to be said, I do not have much of a wardrobe!
This is an “organic” exhibition. It will be touring Wales and Ireland over the next 2 years, during which time I will be still walking and painting. What strikes my fancy to paint today will probably not be the same as tomorrow or the next day, and so if you catch my exhibition at another venue you will always find something new. By 2010 I will produce a book of my peregrination of the path and the development of my paintings.
I hope my work gives you an insight into my enthralment with the path – all 186 miles of it – and that you will be inspired to sample if for yourself.

KING OF THE GYPSIES Written by: Pauline Lynch with original verbatim sourced materialDirected by: Matt Cullum
“All they do is steal from us, wreck our countryside and de-value our property. They pay no taxes and contribute nothing to society. Get them out!”
Today’s gypsy and traveller communities face bad press, local hatred and a level of prejudice verging on the insane… Deserved? Or not?
King of the Gypsies follows a gypsy bare knuckle fighter whose memories and fading dreams haunt him; his victories, his losses, his every choice reflected in the objects that are carried with him on his ceaseless travels.
This ‘work in development’ combines verbatim text and new writing in a vibrant amalgam of image and sound. Due to premiere in August at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, King of the Gypsies journeys into a deeply private and secretive community, a community about which we actually know very little…

Linda Marlowe, James Seabright and LMP presents
THE WORLD’S WIFE An adaptation of the Carol Anne Duffy poetry collection
A new stage version of the acclaimed poems that imagine the wives’ perspective of famous men through the ages.
From Mrs Faust and Frau Freud to Queen King and Mrs Midas, this delightful show slices through history and myth, whilst also casting an astute glance over the modern world. Laced with dark humour and acerbic wit, this passionate exposé will enthral lovers of Duffy’s poems and newcomers alike.
Linda Marlowe has enjoyed great acclaim for her previous sole work including Berkoff’s Women, which toured internationally and played West End seasons. In this new show her virtuoso performance of Duffy’s brilliant and often controversial verse is interspersed with commentary about the poems.
“Very funny, inventive and subversive” The Sunday Telegraph
“A consummate actress, gorgeous to look at, slinky and sexy, sensual and impassioned, breathtakingly versatile” The Scotsman on Linda Marlowe

PAPERWEIGHTDevised by: The companyDirected by: Jamie WoodPerformed by: Tom Frankland and Sébastien Lawson
Paperweight is the absurd story of two men trapped in mindless office jobs. As the pressures of work and the ever present threat of the telephone ringing increase, chaos descends. An (almost) silent comedy, of escalating intensity and surprising tenderness.
A sell out show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year, Paperweight received critical acclaim winning a Scotsman Fringe First Award and a Total Theatre Award nomination. Top of the World is Tom Frankland, Sébastien Lawson and Jamie Wood. Their collaboration fuses surreal humour, visual poetry and arresting storytelling to present a bold and uncompromising theatrical experience.
“the observations of office life are so acute they belong in an emergency room” Metro
“it’s a funny, sad, truthful and surreal piece” The Scotsman
“a small thing of transient beauty” Financial Times
