Ynys Gifftan

Ynys Gifftan is an island near the south east shore of Traeth Bach, the Dwyryd estuary near Portmeirion in Gwynedd, north Wales. There is a public footpath to it across the estuary marked on Ordnance Survey maps but has no definable marks that make it obvious; it can be reached on foot at low tide and is 38 metres (125 ft) high. Although there is a footpath to the island, the island itself is private property and trespassing is not advised. The island has been uninhabited since the mid-1960s and the island's single cottage is in a state of disrepair. It is one of 43 (unbridged) tidal islands which may be reached on foot from the mainland of Great Britain. In February 2026 the island was offered for sale.

Tal-y-llyn Lake

Tal-y-llyn Lake, (Welsh: Llyn Mwyngil), also known as Talyllyn Lake and Llyn Myngul, is a large glacial ribbon lake in Gwynedd, North Wales. It is formed by a post-glacial massive landslip damming up the lake within the glaciated valley. The hamlet of Talyllyn lies at the west end of the lake. Name Tal-y-llyn Lake is named after the hamlet and historic parish of Tal-y-llyn. Tal-y-llyn itself is named after the lake and means 'the end of the lake' in Welsh. Literally, therefore, Tal-y-llyn Lake has the circular meaning of 'the lake at the end of the lake'. The Welsh name Llyn Myngul or Llyn Mwyngil probably derives from mŵn ('neck') and cul ('narrow'). Geography Tal-y-llyn Lake is situated to the north of Machynlleth, at the foot of Cadair Idris, in the Snowdonia mountain range of Gwynedd, Wales. The River Dysynni flows from the lake, through the village of Abergynolwyn, and discharges into the sea north of Tywyn. There is a route leading to the summit of Cadair Idris from near the lake and the narrow gauge Talyllyn Railway has its eastern terminus at nearby Nant Gwernol near the village of Abergynolwyn, within the parish of Tal-y-llyn, the hamlet at the southern end of the lake. Geology The Tal-y-llyn Lake is located on a major fault line in Wales known as the Bala Fault, which extends from the Cheshire border to Tywyn on the Cardigan Bay coast. The depression caused by this was likely carved out and deepened during subsequent glaciation periods. Until 1962, Tal-y-llyn Lake was regarded as the most southerly example of a lake formed in a rock basin, with a terminal moraine on top of the bedrock through which the river had carved a channel. It is now understood that what appeared to be bedrock is in fact massive blocks of debris left by a large landslide. An enormous scar on the valley side to the left of the foot of the lake shows the source of the landslide, and another landslide a few miles downstream caused the River Dysynni to divert into the adjoining valley to the north. The upper end of the lake is becoming shallower as a result of the deposition of alluvium. In fiction The lake features, unnamed, in The Railway Series by Rev. W. Awdry and Christopher Awdry, and the village of Talyllyn features as Skarloey. 1976 Newbery Medal winner Susan Cooper used the lake as a setting for the book The Grey King. Within the lake six sleepers lie, wakened by Will Stanton playing the Harp of Gold. Afterward, they ride to the aid of the Light in the book Silver on the Tree. References
Eglwys Nunydd

The Eglwys Nunydd is a 260-acre (110 ha) supply reservoir in Margam, Wales. It was originally constructed in 1963 to provide cooling water for the cold rolling mills at the nearby Port Talbot steelworks. Description Eglwys Nunydd covers 260 acres (110 ha), and has a shore line two thirds of which is in the form of a concrete bowl. It is around 14 feet (4.3 m) deep. Birdlife Eglwys Nunydd has shallow, alkaline water with a bed that comprises mainly silt and cobbles. The fertility of the bed encourages weed growth, which in turn promotes a productive insect population. It was originally designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its birdlife in 1972, and this was confirmed in 1982. The site is notable for its breeding birds which include great crested grebe, little grebe, mallard, gadwall and Eurasian coot. Other species normally present include tufted duck and common pochard, and among local birdwatchers it has a reputation for producing locally rare birds such as goosander, smew, long-tailed duck, greater scaup and great northern diver. Killer shrimp In 2010 it was reported that the invasive amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus had been found in the reservoir. Anglers have observed that these crustaceans form a major part of the diet of the reservoir's rainbow trout stock, and have been told to be aware of biosecurity when fishing, so that they do not transfer the "killer shrimp" to other waters. Recreation The lake supports a trout and coarse fishery managed by Tata Game Angling. It is also used for dinghy sailing run by Tata Steel Sailing Club. References
Marchlyn Mawr

Marchlyn Mawr reservoir is a high level lake in Snowdonia behind Elidir Fawr mountain. It is used as the high level water source for Dinorwig power station, a closed-loop pumped storage hydroelectric generating facility. It is said that nearby lies the cave containing Arthur's treasure, a source of bedazzlement to the wanderer who sees it, and of disaster to the pilferer who touches it. The lake itself lies in between two mountains Carnedd y Filiast and Elidir Fawr and lies at a height of 636m above sea level. The reservoir took four years to build (from 1975 to 1979). The reservoir holds about 9.2 million cubic metres (320 million cubic feet) of water. From the reservoir, a 10.5-metre (34 ft) diameter tunnel runs for 1.7 km (1.1 miles) to a 10 m (33 ft) diameter vertical shaft. From the bottom of the shaft, a 9.45 m (31 ft) diameter tunnel leads to the power station, 670 metres (2,200 ft) away. It is possible to cycle up the road to the reservoir but a gate at the bottom prevents cars from driving on the road.

Llyn Cwm Llwch

Llyn Cwm Llwch (Welsh: [ɬɪn kʊm ɬuːχ]) is a small lake or pool in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. It is between 1 and 2 acres: much smaller than the two glacial lakes in the west of the Black Mountain (range): Llyn y Fan Fawr and Llyn y Fan Fach, and one of the few natural bodies of water in the park. It is of glacial origin, occupying a rock hollow beneath the peaks of Pen y Fan and Corn Du in the central Brecon Beacons. It is drained by the Nant Cwm Llwch which empties into the Afon Tarell, which itself enters the River Usk at Brecon. Tommy Jones' obelisk, a memorial in granite to a young boy who died near this spot in 1900, overlooks the lake. Geology The lake occupies a hollow excavated in the sandstones of the Brownstones Formation of the Old Red Sandstone by glacial action during the succession of recent ice ages. Its northern margins are rimmed by a large curved late-glacial moraine. Access The lake is within open country and readily accessible to walkers. A popular path up to Pen y Fan runs southwards up Cwm Llwch, passing by the outlet of the lake. The lake is seen to advantage from the peaks of both Pen y Fan and Corn Du and indeed from the spur of Pen Milan to its west.

Hawarden Castle (middelalder)

Hawarden Old Castle eller blot Hawarden Castle (walisisk: Castell Penarlâg) er ruinen af en middelalderborg, der ligger nær Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. Det er en listed building af 1. grad. Der vides ganske lidt om borgens tidlige historie, og de ældste fæstningsværker på stedet kan gå helt tilbage til jernalderen. Senere blev stedet brugt til en normannisk Motte-and-baileyfæstning, som angiveligt blev ødelagt og erstattet i løbet af en kort periode i 1200-tallet. Borgen spillede en vigtig rolle i slutningen af den walisiske kamp for uafhængighed i slutningen af 1200-tallet. I påsken 1282 angreb Dafydd ap Gruffudd Hawarden Castle, og igangsatte dermed den sidste walisiske konflikt med det normanniske England, men kampen blev i sidste ende tabt. Som straf for sit angreb og oprør blev Dafydd hængt, druknet og parteret af Edvard i Shrewsbury i oktober 1283. Under den engelske borgerkrig blev Hawarden Castle ødelagt af Oliver Cromwell. I dag ruinen typisk åben for offentligheder om sommeren. Se også Borge og slotte i Storbritannien og Irland Borge og slotte i Wales Referencer
Hawarden Castle (medieval)

Hawarden Old Castle (Welsh: Castell Penarlâg) is a Grade I listed medieval castle near Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales. The castle's origins are indeterminate and the oldest fortifications on this site may date back to the Iron Age, later being used as a Norman Motte-and-bailey castle which was reportedly destroyed and replaced in a short period during the 13th century. The castle played an important role during the Welsh struggle for independence in the 13th century. At Easter 1282, Dafydd ap Gruffudd attacked and captured Hawarden Castle, thereby starting the final Welsh conflict with Norman England, in the course of which Welsh independence was lost. King Edward I's sense of outrage was such that he designed a punishment for Dafydd harsher than any previous form of capital punishment; Dafydd was hanged, drawn, and quartered in Shrewsbury in October 1283. A sense at the wider outrage caused by Dafydd's attack being made at Easter can be read in the account of the Chronicle of Lanercost; "...the Welsh nation, unable to pass their lives in peace, broke over their borders on Palm Sunday, carrying fire and sword among the people engaged in procession, and even laid siege [to some places – probably referring to Flint and Rhuddlan]; whose Prince Llywelyn, deceived (more's the pity) by the advice of his brother David, fiercely attacked his lord the King; as we read written about Christ, 'him whom I loved most hath set himself against me.'" In 1294 the castle was captured during the revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn. After the English Civil War in the 17th century the castle was slighted on the orders of Oliver Cromwell. Its ruins are on the New Hawarden Castle estate and are open to the public on some Sundays, typically the second and fourth Sundays in summertime. The castle was Grade I listed on 2 July 1967. It is also a scheduled monument. Gallery References Alan Reid, The Castles of Wales (Letts Guides, 1973).

Харденский замок

Харденский замок (англ. Hawarden Castle) — средневековый замок, расположенный рядом с деревней Харден в графстве Флинтшир, Уэльс. История замка начинается в XIII веке. Точное время возведения первого нормандского «мотт и бейли» не известно. В 1260-х годах после состоявшейся в Харденском замке встречи Генри, сына Симона де Монфора, и Лливелина ап Грифида, последний получил право на владение замком. Фактическое же владение Лливелину Последнему пришлось добывать силой, в 1265 году Харденский замок был взят штурмом и разрушен, его английский кастелян Роберт де Монтальт — взят в плен. В 1267 году остатки замка вернулись под власть англичан, и в 1277 году была возведена каменная сторожевая башня Харденского замка. Вероятно, что строительством руководил зодчий Джеймс из Сент-Джорджа, основной архитектор Эдуарда I в Уэльсе. В 1282 году Харденский замок был захвачен Давидом ап Грифидом. Это событие стало началом последнего этапа войны, в результате которой Уэльс потерял свою независимость. В следующем 1283 году замок вернулся в собственность английской короны. Во время гражданской войны XVII века замок находился под контролем роялистов, за исключением короткого периода в 1643 году. Затем он до 1646 года находился в осаде, по истечении которой был взят и вновь разрушен. Больше Харденский замок не восстанавливался. На прилегающих территориях в 1752 году был возведен новый Харденский замок (точнее — усадебный дом), известный тем, что был основным местом проживания Уильяма Гладстона. Руины средневекового Харденского замка до настоящего времени входят в комплекс сооружений этого нового замка. См. также Список замков Уэльса Ссылки Замок Хаварден на сайте Catle Wales.com (англ.)

Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni

'Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni' en gallois, Rhymney Valley Comprehensive School en anglais, est une école secondaire galloise située dans le village de Pengam de la Rhymney Valley dans le comté de Caerphilly, au sud-est du Pays de Galles. Cwm Rhymni a été fondée en 1982 avec un peu plus de 100 élèves et en 2007, ce nombre est passé à plus de 1 000. L'école a pour devise "Tua'r Goleuni" ("Vers la Lumière") et son emblème est un dragon sur ses pattes de derrière. L'école est traditionnellement représentée par les couleurs rouge et noir. Cwm Rhymni était à l'origine situé sur deux sites, la Haute et la Basse école, respectivement situés dans Bargoed et Aberbargoed. À la fin des années 1990, ces bâtiments étaient en très mauvais état, et après une longue lutte de l'école, il a été finalement accordé la permission de construire un nouvel état de l'art d'un site en construction de Pengam, qui a ouvert ses portes en 2001. Le nouveau bâtiment a été financé au moyen de fonds privés. Le premier proviseur de Cwm Rhymni fut M. Huw Thomas, à qui succéda le proviseur actuel, M. Hefin Mathias en 1995. Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni a une solide réputation en ce qui concerne les sports, en particulier en rugby et en athlétisme. L'école a aussi très bien caréné au fil des ans dans la Urdd Eisteddfod. Cwm Rhymni a une très large zone de captage qui s'étend de Rhymney vers le haut de la vallée de Caerphilly. La largeur de la zone de chalandise est reflété par les noms des trois principaux couloirs de l'école, Ebwy, Sirhywi et Rhymney, et trois vallées adjacentes qui tous nourrissent les élèves de Cwm Rhymni. Avant la création d'Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Gwynllyw en 1988, la zone de chalandise de Cwm Rhymni comprenait également l'ensemble du comté de Gwent et les élèves qui ont fréquenté l'école venant d'aussi loin que Newport et Chepstow. Les quatre maisons portent des noms de saints gallois : Mabon (maison de couleur jaune), Cadog (couleur verte), Tudful (couleur violette) et Sannan (couleur bleue). Tudful est plus originale que les trois autres maisons, son nombre d'élèves a augmenté au début des années 1990. Aussi, l'école a reçu récemment d'excellentes cotes d'après le rapport d'Estyn en mai 2010, le classement, pour la plupart, a donné pour les principaux matières examinées, le niveau le plus haut, c'est-à-dire niveau 1.
