Carwyn Graves

Delyth Liddell discusses faith, Welsh food culture and rewilding with author Carwyn Graves.

Delyth Liddell meets writer, gardener and amateur ecologist Carwyn Graves at the heritage apple orchard at the Bishop's Park in Abergwili, Carmarthen. They discuss faith, Carwyn's passion for Welsh food and why it matters to preserve Welsh heritage apple varieties.

'Tir: a History of the Welsh Landscape', Carwyn's latest book, explores Welsh history and landscape from the ffridd, or mountain pasture, to the rhos, or wild moorland. They discuss why rewilding has become such a divisive topic in Wales, and explore Carwyn's perspective that it is the human story that is crucial to the landscape of Wales.

Carwyn shares his love of Welsh food with Delyth, from Lava bread to Welsh Cakes, and how this has inspired a new venture 'Cegin y Bobl' or the 'People's Kitchen.' He is a founding Trustee for the charity that launches this autumn, teaching cooking skills to community groups and primary schools. https://www.ceginybobl.co.uk
