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.

  • We Will Remember Them...The Men From
    The War Memorial project began when I received a letter from Revd Melanie Fitzgerald, of St Mary’s, Sheffield. The Walkley History Group were restoring a window in the former Liberal Reform Club, now the Walkley Community centre. My Great Uncle, James Craven, was one of the club members who had been killed in WWI and who had been commemorated in the window. My family had photographs of James which allowed the team to restore his picture in the window, which was rededicated on 4th August 2014, a hundred years after the outbreak of World War I. The restored photograph of James Craven in the Walkley Community Centre Memorial window. The Walkley historians were the inspiration for our research in Eglwysbach and Llansantffraid Glan Conwy Each Remembrance Sunday we stand beside the Memorial at the gates of St Martin’s Church whilst the names of the Eglwysbach war dead are read aloud. I have always found this a very moving ceremony, but in reality we no longer know about these men. Melanie had succeeded in tracing me through three generations of women, all of whom had married and changed their surname. Her determination in tracing James’ descendants inspired me to look at the men from our villages in order that they also can be remembered as people, not just as a list of names. 1 Our starting point was the St. Martin’s Memorial, which lists the names of twenty two men who died in the First World War, their Regiment and residence. There is also a Roll of Honour in the Church, which lists men who served in the forces, including some of the fallen.

  • Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society
    Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society Our 50th Birthday book To celebrate our Society's 50th birthday in 2019 we are hoping that it will be possible for us to publish a book/booklet (depending on your response!). What we are looking for are true stories, memories, snippets of information – indeed anything to do with the entire area covered by The Conwy Valley Civic Society. Amazing, amusing, unusual, sad, happy, historic (or more recent) – all will be considered, and it would be wonderful if we can get some personal memories over the last 50 years ... the sort of recollections that really should be recorded but never have been before. We're NOT asking anyone to produce a whole chapter (but if you can – then please do!) Contributions can be absolutely any length from a few words to a couple of pages and in either Welsh or English (or both). I would hope that every village and our one town can be represented in some way. Perhaps you can not think of anything immediately yourself – BUT perhaps you know someone locally who you could ask, and who would like to write something for us, there is so much local knowledge out there. All contributions will be acknowledged in the publication. The CVCS area includes: Gyffin - Henryd - Glan Conwy - Pentrefelin - Tal-y-cafn Eglwysbach – Tyn-y-groes - Ro-wen - Pontwgan - Caerhun Llanbedrycennin – Tal-y-bont - Dolgarrog - Maenan Trefriw Llanddoged – Llanrwst - Llanrhychwyn - Betws y coed Dolwyddelan - Capel Curig – Penmachno – Cwm Penmachno - Pentrefoelas - Ysbyty Ifan ....and all points in between (my apologies if I've left anyone out, this is only a guide to the general area - we actually cover all the valleys of The Conwy, Lledr, Machno and Llugwy).

  • IDA - Annual Report 2018 Snowdonia National Park Authority
    IDA - Annual Report 2018 Snowdonia National Park Authority Introduction and General Overview Snowdonia National Park is the second area in Wales to be designated as an International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark Sky Association (IDA). This is a highly prestigious award, given only to places with outstanding Dark Sky Quality and ones which make real efforts to preserve them. The Snowdonia National Park Authority (SNPA) staff along with various partners worked hard to build public support for the idea of protecting Snowdonia’s night skies, and since its designation as an International Dark Sky Reserve back in December 2015, have subsequently made great strides in educating locals about the fragile state of dark skies in the Park and its value both as a natural resource and a tourism draw. The whole reserve extends over more than 2,100 square kilometres, equating to around 10% of the total land area of Wales. Together with the Elan Valley Dark Sky Park, the Brecon Beacons Dark Sky Reserve, and a string of Discovery Sites along the Pembrokeshire Coast Wales has around 17% of it land committed to taking action towards the preservation of its night skies. The designation as an IDSR is not only an opportunity to protect the environment and enhance biodiversity but also an opportunity to advance further by highlighting features which link the stars to our history and our culture here in Wales. 2019 sees a dedicated Dark Sky Officer joining the National Park team who will be responsible for driving forward new dark sky initiatives and activities alongside supporting local AONB’s who are striving to achieve Dark Sky Community Status.
