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.

Llywelyn the Great FOLLOW the FOLLOW FOOTSTEPS Medieval Wales Was Divided Into Independent Kingdoms Ruled by Princes
Heroes and Heroines of Wales Llywelyn the Great FOLLOW THE FOLLOW FOOTSTEPS Medieval Wales was divided into independent kingdoms ruled by princes. Each vied to gain power over the other, whilst also defending themselves from Anglo-Norman lords and the English king. Our story is centred on Gwynedd in north-west Wales, the most remote and mountainous of the Welsh kingdoms. Llywelyn the Great The powerful prince who united Wales Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, known as ‘Llywelyn the Great’ was one of the most famous and powerful of the Princes of Gwynedd. He was a brave warrior, but also a shrewd diplomat. By the time of his death, Llywelyn had united most of native Wales under his rule. uring his reign, Llywelyn built a chain of imposing castles Dto defend the borders of Gwynedd and the heartland of ‘Llywelyn the Great’, one of the Snowdonia. Many of the ruins can still be seen today. He was also most powerful Welsh princes a generous patron of the church and the poets. Making peace with England Llywelyn became ruler of Gwynedd around 1200, and one of his first moves was to make a treaty with King John of England. This was the first written agreement between an English king and a Welsh ruler. Llywelyn swore loyalty to the king, and in return was allowed to keep the territory he had gained in Wales. The alliance with England was strengthened in 1205 when Llywelyn married Joan, the daughter of King John. King John of England Back to battle The peace between the two countries lasted for about ten years.
