Gower Dialect
Gower in the News Western Mail Columnist, Robin Turner, writes about his discovery of dragonfly whilst on a visit to Pwlldu Bay. “This is truly one of the gems of Gower, remote and romantic, the surf washing a steep sandy beach backed by the rippling, crystal clear streams of the Bishopston Valley,” writes Robin.

Gower Cave Art Discovery This week, the BBC reported on developments at a ‘secret’ Gower cave, whereby the discovery of what is believed to be the etching of a speared reindeer estimated to be more than 12,000 years old, has apparently been vandalised. Archeologist Dr. George Nash claims the cave art has been covered over with mud and the surface of the cave drawing has been scrapped at. Archeologists are planning on scanning the whole cave with laser equipment. Sadly, a gate to prevent public access may now be erected after the alleged vandalism to the discovered cave art. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. The BBC clip can be viewed online at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14721056
