Article Abstract:

Landowner Fanny Talbot donated 4 1/2 acres of Welsh coastline to the National Trust in 1895 so that its dramatic landscape and historic buildings could be preserved for future generations to enjoy. The National Trust has succeeded in preserving the beauty of the coastline up to the 1990s.
