    SNOWDONIA DENDROCHRONOLOGY PROJECT HAFOD LWYFOG, Nantgwynant, Gwynedd. HOUSE HISTORY 1860s -1899: Hafod Lwyfog, so called “because there are elm trees there” says Edward Llwyd. Some of the old poets have called it Hafod Lwyddog (prosperous) and that form is explained on p 294. On the beam which runs under the parlour ceiling are the letter E. LL. E. 1638, but the house is at least eighty years older than that date would lead one to think. The initials are for Ifan Llwyd (or Evan Lloyd) and his wife, and their crest is still preserved on the end wall of the same room. The green mounds about the house, and the traces of artificial walks and drives around them may still be seen, speak of days when taste and expenses were applied to the beautifying of this residence. The hand of time, the rusticity of many of the past tenants, and its having become exclusively a farm, have very successfully co-operated in obliterating those traces of taste and refinement. (D E Jenkins, Beddgelert Its Facts Fairies & Folklore, p 281-86) late 1800s: it has been recorded towards the end of the last century the coat of arms of the old family i.e. the three eagles [Owain Gwynedd] and the letters E. LL/E 1638 could be seen clearly carved on the oak beams which run under the parlour ceiling and also on a piece of hard oak set into the wall in one of the upstairs bedroom at the opposite end of the house to where the parlour is situated.

    National Landscape Character 31/03/2014 NLCA07 CONWY VALLEY Dyffryn Conwy – disgrifiad cryno Dyma ddyffryn afon lanwol hwyaf Cymru, sydd, i bob diben, yn ffin rhwng gogledd- orllewin a gogledd-ddwyrain y wlad. Y mae’n dilyn dyffryn rhewlifol, dwfn sy’n canlyn ffawt daearegol, ac y mae ganddi orlifdiroedd sylweddol ac aber helaeth. Ceir yn ei blaenau ymdeimlad cryf o gyfyngu gan dir uwch, yn enwedig llethrau coediog, serth Eryri yn y gorllewin, o ble mae sawl nant yn byrlymu i lawr ceunentydd. Erbyn ei rhan ganol, fodd bynnag, mae’n ymddolennu’n dawel heibio i ddolydd gleision, gan gynnwys ystâd enwog Bodnant, sydd a’i gerddi’n denu ymwelwyr lawer. Mae ei haber yn wahanol eto, yn brysur â chychod, gyda thref hanesyddol Conwy a’i chastell trawiadol Eingl-normanaidd (Safle treftadaeth y Byd) yn y gorllewin, a thref fwy cyfoes Deganwy yn y dwyrain. Er yn cynnwys trefi Conwy a Llanrwst, a sawl pentref mawr a mân, cymeriad gwledig iawn sydd i’r fro hon. Mae’r gwrychoedd trwchus y dolydd gleision a chefndir trawiadol y mynyddoedd yn cyfuno yn ddelwedd gymharol ddiddos, ddarluniadwy. © Crown copyright and database rights 2013 Ordnance Survey 100019741 www.naturalresources .wales NLCA07 Conwy Valley - Page 1 of 9 Summary description This is the valley of Wales’ longest tidal river, whose valley effectively forms the border between the north-east and the north-west of Wales. It follows a deep, fault-guided, glacial valley and contains significant flood plain and estuary areas. The upper (southern-most) section has a strong sense of containment by rising land, especially from the steep wooded slopes of Snowdonia to the west, from which a number of small rivers issue down tumbling gorges.
