Small Towns, Big History: Exploring Wales' Hidden Past

Walk through the dramatic and fascinating history of Wales, while we also walk through the small towns of Prestatyn and Rhuddlan, and the tiny city of St Aspah in North Wales. From its ancient tribal beginnings to the rise of industrial towns, from Roman invaders to the battles for identity and language. In this video, we explore how Welsh identity was shaped through conquest, resistance, myth, and survival. Featuring visits to key historical sites around North Wales and told through the stories and legends - this is Welsh history at the base line. The Breakaway Bravehearts have previously travelled through Wales, Vietnam, Cambodia, Spain, and France, uncovering unique stories in every destination — and now we’re bringing that same spirit of discovery to Wales. Whether you're planning a short break, or slow travel, through Wales, understanding the history will help you understand the people you meet and the unique sights you'll take in. So if you're interested in hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path travel in Wales, this video is for you. Thank you for your comments, shares, likes and subscribes!! We couldn't do this without you!
