A series of four programmes 3: A Celtic Inheritance
Seaweed, cockles, unleavened bread and cawl are still eaten plentifully from Carmarthen to the Gower Coast. They are the visible inheritance of a Celtic past - of an age stretching back to mythology.
The bakestone - with its pancakes, welshcakes, and unleavened bread -is a thing of the past. Cockles come mostly from Norfolk, but for centuries were gathered from the vast Llanridian sands. Seaweed is now imported from Scotland but for years families picked it from the sea shore. Before Roman times, people were catching Towy sewin from coracles. Now there are only 12 coracles remaining.
