Childhood Holidays in Pembrokeshire
Charlotte Smith goes back to St Davids in Pembrokeshire - where she spent many of her childhood summer holidays - to find out what's changed in the local landscape.
Charlotte Smith goes on a trip down memory lane, visiting St Davids in Pembrokeshire. It's the area where she spent many of her childhood summer holidays - but a place she hasn't been back to in forty years. She meets the family still running the farm and campsite where she used to stay as a child, learns how to forage for food in rock pools along the shore, and discovers that the 21st century has found a new use for a disused slate quarry. Life may be very different from how it was in the 1970s, but Charlotte finds nostalgia in the unchanging nature of the Welsh landscape.
Produced by Emma Campbell.
