It will take us in the meadows and moors of the Regional Nature Reserve Lands on the buttons and the pavements of ponds. He will help us to find the multiple clues to understand the history of the places and we will be able, with him, to discover the answers to the old questions: when do the ponds date? Why were they created? By whom? Did the legendary Brennan monks really clean up a hostile and uninhabited swamp?
