Wales listeners shortlist Wales' top spots
Wales' top five places are Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, the Brecon
Beacons, Snowdonia, Llangollen and Carmarthenshire's Carreg Cennen
Castle, according to a new 麻豆社 Radio Wales survey.
Listeners to 麻豆社 Wales' Good Morning Wales have been phoning,
e-mailing and writing over the past few weeks to nominate their
favourite Welsh location.
Presenters Vaughan Roderick and Felicity Evans announced the five-strong
shortlist live on the programme on Monday (19 August, 2002).
Radio Wales launched the survey after a Yellow Pages survey listing
the "Seven Wonders of Britain" failed to list anywhere
in Wales.
"As we're in a unique position to do it, we thought we'd see
what Welsh people think are our national highlights," explained
Julie Barton, Editor, Radio Wales.
"The votes have come in from far and wide, and these top five
are the clear favourites. Now we want people to vote by email or
phone to decide the final winner."
The top five fought off competition from other popular destinations
including Porthcawl, Tenby and Ogmore to secure places on the final
shortlist.
Listeners also voted for landmarks including Tredegar Town Clock
and 麻豆社 Wales' own Broadcasting House.
Each day this week, Good Morning Wales will run features
on each of the five so that listeners can cast their final votes.
The
programme will broadcast live from the winning location on Bank
Holiday Monday (26 August, 2002).
People
can vote by calling Radio Wales on 08700 100110 or email goodmorningwales@bbc.co.uk
or vote via the website
Notes
to Editors
The Yellow Pages survey was published on 31 July 2002, listing the
Seven Wonders of Britain - none of which were Welsh.
However in the same survey conducted with just children (13 to 17
year olds) the Millennium Stadium came fifth behind the London Eye.
