  • Snowdonia Green Key Strategy Appraisal Document and User Survey Snowdonia Active – Eryri Bywiol Feb/March 2002 V3.00
    Snowdonia Green Key Strategy Appraisal Document and User Survey Snowdonia Active – Eryri Bywiol Feb/March 2002 V3.00 1 Snowdonia-Active Snowdonia-Active is a recently formed group of independent freethinking business people from within the Gwynedd, Môn and the rural Conwy area. We have come together as a result of sharing a common desire to better promote and safeguard Adventure Tourism and associated Outdoor Industries within our geographical area. We see a need for a unifying group bringing together all the elements that give the Adventure Tourism and associated Outdoor Industries their special Snowdonia magic. The group represents a broad spectrum of those elements, from Freelance Instructors, Heads of Outdoor Centres and Management Development Companies to Equipment Manufacturers, Retailers and Service Industries. We believe that the best way to protect the interests of our industry, it’s customers and the environment is by coming together to promote and develop the valuable contribution that we make to the local economy. 2 Introduction This report was co-ordinated by Snowdonia-Active to provide a structured insight into the possible impact of the proposed Snowdonia Green Key Strategy (GKS) upon local outdoor orientated businesses and outdoor adventure/recreational users of Northern Snowdonia. It was deeply felt and vociferously expressed that the Green Key Strategy failed to consult with these user groups. Since the GKS argues strongly for reforms to aid the economic development of the area, the lack of consultation with the outdoor business sector has resulted in many of the positive aspects of the strategy being overshadowed by controversy surrounding the plans for the enforced Park & Ride scheme.

  • The Saracens Head
    NORTH WEST WALES DENDROCHRONOLOGY PROJECT DATING OLD WELSH HOUSES – CAERNARFONSHIRE THE SARACENS HEAD BEDDGELERT, Gwynedd (formerly Caernarfonshire) NGR SH 589 481 © Crown copyright: Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales: Dating Old Welsh Houses: North West Wales Dendrochronology Project HOUSE HISTORY The Saracen’s Head Hotel is built on a site with a long history known in part for over 800 years. From the 1500s until the 1800s it was a farm called Glasdraean. A new farmhouse was built around the late 1500s, and an internal post and panel walls survives. By the 1790s the farmhouse was also an Inn. It is first recorded as “The Saracen’s Head” in 1827; the origin of the name is not known. Before 1200 it was part of an area called Nanhwynan (now Nantgwynant) in rebellion against the new powerful young ruler, Llewelyn ab Iorwerth, who became Prince of Wales. He destroyed their stone castle on Dinas Emrys, probably forced the inhabitant to flee, and then gave the area to the Cistercian monks of Aberconwy Abbey as a grange for farming. 1200-late 1530s: Lands of Aberconwy Abbey. In his charter Llewelyn names the fifteen blocks of land to be granted and describes their boundaries. The future farms of Wernlasdeg, Perthi and Glasdraean were named as Wernos dec and probably formed a bond gafaelion at least by the twelfth century. Gradually the Cistercian monks leased out their granges / farm holdings to tenants.
