Braint yw eich croesawu i Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru yn Sir Conwy eleni, ardal o harddwch naturiol eithriadol rhwng Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri, bryniau hyfryd Hiraethog, dyffryn Clwyd i’r dwyrain a thywod euraidd arfordir Cymru i’r gogledd.

I am honoured to welcome you to this year’s National Eisteddfod of Wales in the County of Conwy, geographically an area of outstanding natural beauty, nestling between the Snowdonia National Park, the rolling hills of Hiraethog, the Vale of Clwyd on its eastern side and the golden sands of Wales’ stunning coastline on its northern shores.

It has a wealth of history within its boundaries, whilst lakes, rivers and castles in every corner, all have their own very special stories to tell.

Inland, rural Conwy is rich in small, thriving village communities, where traditional ways of doing things are the very arts and crafts of everyday life. The old market town of Llanrwst, once famed for its wool trade, and known for its stone bridge, reputedly designed by Inigo Jones, André Stitt David W J Lloyd was chosen as the site of the ‘Maes’ for the 2019 Y Pelydrau (manylyn / detail) Yn Annwn, mae popeth yn iawn – tad / festival.
