Convenient For Bangor & The A55 . Forecourt & Wide Pathway To Side . Viewing Essential To Fully Appreciate . 156 High Street, Bangor, Gwynedd LL57 1NU | [email protected] | 01248 371212 Description An exciting opportunity has arisen to purchase a detached Welsh Chapel located in the picturesque village of Glasinfryn, enjoying views towards the Snowdonia Mountain Range from many parts of the property. As you would expect from a chapel, the internal space is generous to say the least and the vestry/school to the rear adds further to the spacious proportions, giving the prospective purchaser plenty of conversion options - any conversion into residential use would of course be subject to planning consents and approvals. Internally, the chapel is well preserved and retains all the original fittings, charm and character, the twin mirrored entrance halls both exhibiting stained glass doors and lamps. The chapel offers enormous conversion potential as a family home or perhaps 2 separate dwellings. Just a thought - if the vestry/school was demolished, a fine garden could be created which would enjoy exceptional mountain views - subject to planning consent. Viewing essential to realise the potential and fine location. Location The chapel is situated in the centre of the small rural village of Glasinfryn being some 2 miles or so from the University City of Bangor and within easy reach of the nearby Snowdonia National Park.

    PARC Ref No PGW (Gd) 35 (GWY) OS Map 124 Grid Ref SH 627 439 Former County Gwynedd Unitary Authority Gwynedd Community Council Llanfrothen Designations Snowdonia National Park; Listed Buildings: House, gatehouse, two remaining earlier houses (listed as 'two cottages NE of the Parc'), Beudy Newydd all Grade II; Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Primary Reference Numbers 4737 & 4742. Site Evaluation Grade II* Primary reasons for grading The rare survival of exceptional stone-built garden terraces probably of seventeenth-century date, associated with a group of interesting buildings and historical features set within a contemporary small walled park which includes a gatehouse and viewpoint. Clough Williams-Ellis made improvements in the 1950s and 60s. Type of Site Small park with industrial features overlaid, neglected terraced gardens of an early date, buildings of interest. Main Phases of Construction Possibly sixteenth and probably seventeenth century, later twentieth-century additions. SITE DESCRIPTION Parc is an unusual and extremely interesting site hidden away in the foothills to the north-east of the Traeth Mawr plain. The whole site is small, but has great charm, with its secluded setting but wide views, great variety of terrain and vegetation, and the contrast it provides with the steep and craggy slopes around. There are several houses, sited just above the steepest part of the valley of one of the streams, the Maesgwm, and close by are the remains of three small rectangular buildings, probably of medieval date, which represent the only known previous settlement in the area of the park. The choice of site for the post-medieval houses may have been dictated by various practical factors such as the need for shelter and a wish to leave as much of the level ground as possible clear for agricultural purposes.

    file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time.
  • Snowdon 500 – Route Descriptions

    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.

    Snowdon Walk - SWC

    02/05/2020 Snowdon walk - SWC Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Snowdon walk A beginners guide to safely climbing the highest mountain in England and Wales. Length 11 km / 7 miles Toughness 9 out of 10 Features Snowdon (3,560 feet / 1,085 m) is the highest mountain in England and Wales. It is also the country's most climbed hill. There are several footpaths, and a narrow gauge steam railway to the summit, and a cafe when you get there. In clear weather, you can see all of Snowdonia, Anglesy laid out like a map, and even as far as the Lake District and Ireland. However there are many days when the summit is covered in low cloud when you will see nothing! This advice is aimed at the thousands of people with little mountain experience (together with their young children and dogs) who climb Snowdon every year. Experienced hill walkers can skip most of the safety advice, and skip to the practical details about buses and car parks. Snowdon is a 'star fish shaped' mountain with several glacial ridges (arêtes) leading to a central summit, many of which have a path, and all of which involve at least 2,400 feet / 800 metres of ascent and descent. However, this is still achievable, albeit with a lot of effort, even by the less fit. The only exception is the Snowdon Horseshoe / Crib Goch path, which involves scrambling on an exposed (i.e. steep drops on both sides) ridge - one for the experienced in good conditions only. It is essential that you check the Snowdonia weather forecast before you leave home.

Distance: Short 3-4 miles; Long 5 miles (Doesn’t include getting from and to car) Going: Demanding. Some rough ground. PRoW and FPs not always clear. Route finding necessary. Grade 1 scrambles on the Long. This route is ideal for either recceing the Welsh 3000s or a short or long day out from Llanberis Pass pass. There are a number of options to starting the long route and it can be varied by including/excluding the North Ridge of Crib Goch. Short Version 1. Start at the PRoW on the driveway up to Wern SH590591. Either follow the PRoW to just before where it joins the Llanberis Path SH584587 and then cross country to Derlwyn SH588586, CB OR cut up onto the ridge as soon as possible once you are in OA heading for Derlwyn. 2. From Derlwyn handrail the ridge line/fence to Tryfan SH597578. From Tryfan continue to 610m ring contour SH601574, 550m. There are a number of stiles along the way but the 610 stile is distinct in having rocks/boulders alongside the fence and as you cross the stile there is a flat place with a small ‘seating area’ (flat rocks below small earth wind stop) within 5m or so. Halfway Station is on the RHS as you approach and can be seen from Tryfan if you have visibility but can’t be seen from the 610.

    Chapter V Educational Provision in Wales Part

    CHAPTER V EDUCATIONAL PROVISION IN WALES PART (i) : SCHOOLS In medieval Wales it was the Church which assumed the greatest responsibility for schooling, bardic schools and possibly the households of the Welsh lords being also centres of learning. The English universities, and to a lesser extent, the continental universities and the inns of court, provided further or higher 1 education for the ablest talents of Wales. In England, by the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, lay involvement in educati4n increased, as the needs of the Crown, the aristocracy and the towns expanded, and this was also faintly apparent in as scattered and 2 rural a society as Wales. The revival of classical learning emphasised anew the educational qualities required of administrators and all useful members of the state and which were also to be expected of gentlemen. At a time of social change, in Wales as in England, education became a 3 means of asserting and of reinforcing social distinctions. Neither the schools nor the universities were particularly suited 4 to the task of preparing young gentlemen. The newer grammar schools tried tEadapt, and there were a few signs that the universities and the inns of court, though still largely institutions of professional instruction, made some concessions towards providing a more general and 5 popular education. The essential conservatism of these places meant 6 that they were not in the van of intellectual progress. Rather, they were places for disseminating received and accepted truths intermixed with north European humanism and religious ideology, giving force to 333. 7 the ideal of wise and moral service and leadership.
