Mark Williams Battle of Crogen talk at the Oak at the Gate of The Dead
Brilliant day with Mark Williams. A top, self-funded Welsh historian who discoveries so many amazing discoveries associated with this pivotal Battle of Crogen that took place here in the Ceiriog Valley in 1165. King Henry II’s army given a beating by Owain Gwynedd’s Welsh army before coming back again to try to push into Wales.
A significant battle that shaped the UK & Europe for ever.
Ex-Guardian Environmental correspondent John Vidal, came along at my invite and thoroughly enjoyed the talk.
A famous TV star, this ancient Oak at the Gate of the Dead (a 'Living Witness' to the battle) is on the proposed new route of my Ancient Tree Guided walk from the historical Pontfadog Oak to the now famous Brimmon Oak. An 80 mile #Walk4Trees #TreesInNeed they deserve #TREEspect
