LITTLE ENGLAND BEYOND WALES

[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] SIR,—Sir W. Beach Thomas is quite wrong in describing the area by St. David's Head in Pembrokeshire—offered to the National Trust—as "this bit of England beyond Wales." The area known under this tourist-beguiling title is in South Pembrokeshire: St. David's Head is in North Pembrokeshire, and close by is St. David's Cathedral, which every Welslunan will resent having transplanted to any part of England, this

side or beyond Wales.—Yours, &c., R. Wni.c.ocics.
