All responding to our unique coastal path in their own wide ranging and individual way. From Sir Fon to the Gwent Levels every participant has chosen their special place on this 870 mile path.

 Su Roberts working in alabaster and Madoc Roberts working in film have chosen the coastal cliffs of Penarth whilst both Nia Bennett and Cath Gwynn have returned to the Cardigan coast for their inspiration.

Robert Law’s photographs of Holyhead and Jon Gower’s written pieces bring into focus life in this far flung corner of Wales.

Painter Anthony Evans and poet Myrddin ap Dafydd worked together on two locations, walking the paths on Mynydd Cilan; Pen Llyn and the Gwent Levels between Cardiff and Newport.

Sue Davies and her brother Trefor have gone back to childhood memories of Tenby. Aron Evans and Alun Tobias chose to visit Llansteffan on the Carmarthenshire coast whilst Elfyn Lewis has also returned home to the coast around Criccieth and Porthmadog.

Alun Hemming using both sculpture and printmaking along with Anthony Evans’ painting have created four pieces based on Pwll Deri, North Pembrokshire. Photographer Marian Delyth and poet Cyril Jones have taken a nostalgic look at the Cardiganshire coast and multi media artists Luca Paci and Chris Glynn were inspired by the heritage coast of Lavernock.

This exhibition illustrates the wide ranging visual variety of our path and how creative people are often inspired by it and is an exhibition worth visiting a number of times and who knows, you may be tempted yourself to get creative.
