Synopsis

Written by the foremost expert on Strata Florida and drawing on the latest archaeological research, this is a concise and accessible introduction to the long history of the site and how its landscapes have been shaped by human activity stretching right back to the Bronze Age. Detailed maps demonstrate the ambitious vision of the Cistercian monks and their patrons, the princes of Deheubarth who founded the medieval gentry estates, up to the family which still farms the land today. Covering themes of spirituality, sustainability, resilience and community values, it shows what made Strata Florida such a significant site in the history of Wales and why it remains so iconic for modern Welsh identity.
