About Garn Goch
GarnGoch.org is dedicated to the research and appropriate promotion of Garn Goch to increase our understanding of prehistoric, and specifically Neolithic, Wales, and to encourage and facilitate tourism, so as to benefit the local community socially and economically.
It has been established, and is managed, by Bethlehem resident Martin Price, whose relevant experience includes an MA Medieval History, extensive tourism management and marketing expertise, and business development consultancy for companies including Channel Four, Ford, Honda, Microsoft, Swatch Group and Virgin Group as well as numerous small, owner-managed businesses.
It is connected to the historyof.wales website, which focuses in the Wales Triumphant theme.
Now you may well ask: ‘Wales? Triumphant?! Have we got the right country?’
Yes, indeed we have, although you’d never know that from much of the past and present coverage of Wales.
What makes it more corrosive is that people - living in and outside Wales - don’t believe the country to be in any way triumphant.
Yet the past argues that there is an abundance of evidence that Wales and triumphs do indeed go together. For example:
Who first patented and flew an aircraft? No, not the Wright Brothers, but a Saundersfoot carpenter, who flew 7 years before and 12 times further.
Who invented lawn tennis? Wales, or rather a Welshman Captain Clopton Wingfield.
Who created state pensions? A Welshman, David Lloyd George.
Who created the one million population Ukrainian city of Donetsk? A Welshman, David Hughes, who named it Hughesovka.
Who explored the American Great Plains 300 years before Columbus even landed in the Caribbean? A pair of princely Welsh brothers, who set off from Rhos On Sea.
We have already researched and drafted more than 50 WHTs (Wales’ Heroes Triumphant), but what is really important is getting them seen – and appreciated – by a wide audience in and beyond Wales.
That’s why at the core of the Wales Triumphant project are WTVs: typically 3 minute, eminently accessible, entertaining and informative Wales Triumphant Videos that are always made relevant to people, events and/or situations today.
