  • HAFOD LWYFOG, Nantgwynant, Gwynedd SH 6526 5225
    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.

  • Merlin's People.Wps
    MERLIN'S PEOPLE Raymond Foster Wales is possibly the best place in the world from which to understand and follow one of the greatest changes in human lifestyle that ever took place: the transition from wanderers to settlers. When the English first came to Britain they did what they always do when they visit foreign lands. The Romans had not long left, and the natives were used to welcoming foreigners to their land, but they soon realized their mistake as the new lot of foreigners got off the boat. "Excuse me, young man," they said to the boy on the jetty. "We're not foreigners; we're English! You're the foreigners – what we call welisc. Don't you speak Anglo-Saxon? Oh well, you'll learn..." And I suppose they did learn, for 'Welsh' they are to this day: foreigners in their own land! Isn't that just like the English? Of course, I personally am in a privileged position, being Welsh on my mother's side, and English on my father's side; so when I say 'we', I could just as well mean 'they', and when I say 'they', I could just as well mean 'we'. At least I can see both points of view. When the Romans left, Britain was virtually all 'Wales' and the British were virtually all 'Welsh', but we know what the English are like. They edged the native inhabitants further and further into the unploughable hills to the north and west and never even realized that the land had not always been theirs.

  • Snowdon 500 – Route Descriptions
    Snowdon 500 – Route Descriptions About Snowdon Snowdon is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Its grandeur impresses the visitor no matter which direction one looks at it. Its shape is like a starfish with six magnificent ridges radiating out, each with their own unique character and make up. The deep cwmoedd (glaciated valleys) dropping down from the ridges range from the easily accessible to those only reached by very experienced walkers and climbers. Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales at 1085 m or 3560 ft, also offers a unique bio-diversity of rare flowers and insects, wonderful volcanic rock formations, fossils and disused mine works. For more information about the mountain and places to stay nearby visit www.snowdon.com Miners Track After registering and signing in at the start point in the car park in front of the Legacy – Royal Victoria Hotel you will be transported by our free shuttle bus to Pen Y Pass where you will receive your pre climb briefing before setting off for the summit of Mt Snowdon. The Miners Track to Llyn Glaslyn was built during the last century to serve the Britannia Copper Mines, abandoned in 1917. The Track is well defined and obvious until you reach Llyn Glaslyn but after that the path to the summit is considerably steeper and can be a serious undertaking especially in winter. The path starts at the far end of Pen Y Pass car park. At first the path contours gently with fine views down the Gwynant Valley on your left.

  • Hill Walking & Mountaineering
    Hill Walking & Mountaineering in Snowdonia Introduction The craggy heights of Snowdonia are justly regarded as the finest mountain range south of the Scottish Highlands. There is a different appeal to Snowdonia than, within the picturesque hills of, say, Cumbria, where cosy woodland seems to nestle in every valley and each hillside seems neatly manicured. Snowdonia’s hillsides are often rock strewn with deep rugged cwms biting into the flank of virtually every mountainside, sometimes converging from two directions to form soaring ridges which lead to lofty peaks. The proximity of the sea ensures that a fine day affords wonderful views, equally divided between the ever- changing seas and the serried ranks of mountains fading away into the distance. Eryri is the correct Welsh version of the area the English call Snowdonia; Yr Wyddfa is similarly the correct name for the summit of Snowdon, although Snowdon is often used to demarcate the whole massif around the summit. The mountains of Snowdonia stretch nearly fifty miles from the northern heights of the Carneddau, looming darkly over Conwy Bay, to the southern fringes of the Cadair Idris massif, overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Afon Dyfi and Cardigan Bay. From the western end of the Nantlle Ridge to the eastern borders of the Aran range is around twenty- five miles. Within this area lie nine distinct mountain groups containing a wealth of mountain walking possibilities, while just outside the National Park, the Rivals sit astride the Lleyn Peninsula and the Berwyns roll upwards to the east of Bala. The traditional bases of Llanberis, Bethesda, Capel Curig, Betws y Coed and Beddgelert serve the northern hills and in the south Barmouth, Dinas Mawddwy, Dolgellau, Tywyn, Machynlleth and Bala provide good locations for accessing the mountains.

    THE GWYDYRNo35(Mar/Apr 2013) THE NEWSLETTER OF THE GWYDYR MOUNTAIN CLUB Richard Mercer, Neil Metcalfe, Geoff Brierley & Ronnie Davis on the wintry summit of Rhinog Fach. We’ve had an incredible past few weeks with winter re-arriving with a renewed ferocity and leaving us with some great memories of days out on the hill I make no apologies for the number of photographs in the newsletter but we’ve been exceptionally lucky and people have emailed me many pictures of their days out. For those not on facebook you may not have seen them before. Firstly apologies to Geoff but I appear to have lost your email article from the last issue (blame Microsoft bud as hotmail became outlook express and I’ve lost loads !) John Simpson went up to Scotland on the 2nd March and so it seems as good a point as any to get the newsletter going, thanks for the following John................................... We Travelled up to Callakille, 8 miles north of Applecross along the coast road on the 2nd March. We Spent the week in a cottage on the cliff top which looked out towards the Island of Rona & Isle of Raasay. All the high hills had a quite a bit of snow covering the tops though luckily all the roads were clear. We spent a number of days taking short cliff top walks. Including Callakille to Applecross & Lower Diabaig to Craig bothy. Mid week we decided to head to Loch Mhic Fhearchair behind Beinn Eighe. Didn't see any other living thing for the whole day :-) We did spot a golden eagle the day before while heading to Lower Diabaig, and at the same time what looked like 2 buzzards flying high over the loch.
