Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Pennard Burrows This view, from near Pennard castle, shows grassed-over sand dunes which, during the C13-15, were responsible for the be-sanding of the castle, the old church, an earlier settlement and agricultural land in this area. Climatic conditions during the period included strong westerlies which blew loose sand inland. The inhabitants found it hard to make a living and to maintain tithes and taxes so were eventually forced out. Subsequently there was a rabbit warren here (although the word burrows, used in South Wales for sand dunes, is not I think rabbit-related in this case.)
The burrows are more stable now but could impending climate change result in further land loss? |
