Ynys Feurig

Ynys Feurig (also spelt Ynys Feirig) is the name for a set of three small inter-connected low-lying inshore tidal rocky islets (3.1 ha in extent), lying off from the west coast of Anglesey, North Wales, just north of the village of Rhosneigr and south of RAF Valley airfield. They are also known by the English name Starvation Island. The islets are accessible from the mainland at mid-to low tide. The clipper Norman Court ran aground nearby, in Cymyran Bay. Seabirds The islands are important for their tern colony, in particular for roseate tern, for which this is the most regular breeding site on Anglesey, although numbers of breeding pairs are low currently (2005) compared with the past. Because of this the island has been designated as part of the Ynys Feurig, Cemlyn Bay and The Skerries Special Protection Area along with two other nearby sites, Cemlyn Bay and The Skerries, and all three are also classed by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area. Ynys Feurig is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Birds interchange regularly between all three sites, and form part of a larger Irish Sea tern population together with birds at sites in Ireland such as Rockabill Island. The major threat to the terns here is predation by rats; in 1978 rats killed 17 adult terns including 14 roseate terns, as well as taking all the eggs and young of that year. The RSPB warden the site to protect the terns; management measures they have undertaken here to help increase the roseate tern population include small-scale control of vegetation and provision of nestboxes, although it is thought that the number of breeding pairs at this site is primarily dependent on the overall health of the Irish Sea population. The site first came to national attention among birders in July 2005 when a sooty tern paid a very brief visit, before relocating to The Skerries and Cemlyn.

Llyn Melynllyn

Llyn Melynllyn (Welsh for 'yellow lake') is a lake within the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, North Wales. It lies at a height of just over 2,000 feet (610 m), and has an area of some 18.5 acres (75,000 m2). Cliffs rise steeply from its western edge, up to the summit of Foel Grach, and down from which most of its feeder streams flow. A small dam was built at its northern end in 1887, but this was deliberately breached in 1970. The lake acts as a reservoir for the Llandudno area. Less than a kilometre to its north lies the larger Llyn Dulyn. The outflow from the lake is called Afon Melynllyn, this stream flowing north-east to join Afon Dulyn, itself a tributary of the river Conwy.

Ffynnon Lloer

Ffynnon Lloer (Welsh for 'source of [the] Moon') is a lake in the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, North Wales. It lies below the peaks of Pen yr Ole Wen and Carnedd Dafydd at a height of 2,225 feet (678 m) and covers an area of some 6 acres (2.43 ha). The remains of two wartime aircraft, which crashed in 1942 and 1943, lie on the slopes round the lake. Afon Lloer, its outflow, flows into Llyn Ogwen. References
Cribinau

Cribinau ist eine Gezeiteninsel in der Nähe des Dorfes Aberffraw in Nordwales. Sie liegt zwischen Porth China und Porth Cwyfanan der Südwestküste der Insel Anglesey. Bekannt ist die Insel wegen der Kirche St Cwyfan, (walisisch eglwys bach y mor auch englisch the little church in the sea) genannt, die aus dem 13. Jahrhundert stammt und mit einem Glockengiebel versehen ist. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Cribinau

Cribinau is a small tidal island off the south west coast of the isle of Anglesey in Wales between Porth China and Porth Cwyfan. The island is in Aberffraw Community, about 1+1⁄4 miles (2 kilometres) west of Aberffraw village. The island can be reached on foot at low tide. It is notable for the 13th-century Church in Wales church of St Cwyfan, called in Welsh: eglwys bach y môr ("the little church in the sea") or simply Cwyfan. Church St Cwyfan's church was in existence by 1254 and was enlarged in the 14th and 15th centuries. The building later fell into disrepair, and in the 19th century parts of the church were demolished. By 1891 the surviving part was roofless, so an appeal was launched which paid for the building of a new roof. In about the 1970s all the windows were restored, but now the building is deteriorating again and a new restoration appeal has been launched. Sea erosion A Jacobean map dated 1636 shows the church standing on the mainland of Anglesey. Written evidence submitted in 1770 in the case against Thomas Bowles says that the road from Aberffraw to Llangwyfan was bad, but makes no mention of the tide restricting access to the church. Therefore, it seems to be after that date that sea erosion of the boulder clay cliffs turned Cribinau into an island. By the 19th century, erosion was causing graves in the churchyard to fall into the sea, so a seawall was built around the island to protect the remaining graves and the church.

The Skerries, Anglesey

The Skerries (Welsh: Ynysoedd y Moelrhoniaid) (grid reference SH268948), coming from the Old Norse word sker, are a group of sparsely vegetated rocky islets (skerries), with a total area of about 17 hectares (42 acres) lying 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) offshore from Carmel Head at the northwest corner of Anglesey, Wales. The islands are important as a breeding site for seabirds, and they attract divers, who come to visit the numerous shipwrecks. The Skerries Lighthouse sits atop the highest point in the islands. The islands can be visited by charter boat from Holyhead. The individual islets are accessible from one another at low tide and by small bridges. The name "Skerry" is the Scottish diminutive of the Old Norse "sker", and means a small rocky reef or island. The Welsh name for these islands, 'Ynysoedd y Moelrhoniaid', means "Islands of the Seals". An alternative name provided by some English-language sources is 'St Daniel's Isle'. Seabirds The islands have a seabird colony, which is particularly important for the Arctic tern, numbers of which are nationally important; the roseate tern breeds occasionally in very small numbers. In 2018 two roseate tern chicks fledged here for the first time in a decade. The following species also breed: Atlantic puffin, black-legged kittiwake, common tern, herring gull and lesser black-backed gull. Because of these birds, in particular the terns, the island has been designated as part of the Ynys Feurig, Cemlyn Bay and The Skerries Special Protection Area along with two other nearby sites, Cemlyn Bay and Ynys Feurig, and all three are also classed by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area. The Skerries have also been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Terns interchange regularly between all three sites, and form part of a larger Irish Sea tern population together with birds at sites in Ireland such as Rockabill Island. The islands are wardened by the RSPB during the tern breeding season, and management measures they have undertaken here include control of introduced tree mallow (Lavatera arborea) and provision of nestboxes; these measures as aimed particularly at helping to increase the attractiveness of the site to breeding roseate terns, although it is accepted that the future number of pairs of this species here is primarily dependent on the overall health of the Irish Sea population. The site came to national attention among birders briefly in July 2005 when it attracted a sooty tern, a species which only a very small number of birders had previously seen in Britain. Tidal power The area between the islands and mainland Anglesey is the site of the planned Skerries Tidal Stream Array, being developed by Marine Current Turbines and RWE npower.

Skerries (Anglesey)

Les Skerries (en gallois : Ynysoedd y Moelrhoniaid) sont un groupe d'îlots rocheux à faible végétation (écueils), avec une superficie totale d'environ 17 hectares. Elles sont situées à 3 kilomètres au large de Carmel Head (en) au nord-ouest d'Anglesey, au Pays de Galles. Y est érigé le phare des Skerries reconstruit en 1759. Les îles sont surtout importantes comme site de reproduction pour les colonies d'oiseaux de mer, et surtout la sterne arctique et la sterne de Dougall. Elles attirent aussi les plongeurs, qui viennent visiter les nombreuses épaves dues aux naufrages. Le phare des Skerries est situé au sommet du point le plus élevé des îles. Les îles peuvent être visités par bateau charter de Holyhead. Les îlots individuels sont accessibles à marée basse ou par des petits ponts.

Tŷ Newydd

Tŷ Newydd (Welsh: [ˈtɨː ˈnɛuɨð]) is a historic house in Llanystumdwy, near Criccieth, in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. Since 1990 it has housed the National Writing Centre of Wales. The centre specialises in residential creative writing and retreats. The courses are in both the English and Welsh languages, and cover many genres, forms and styles. The centre also holds regular seminars and forums. House The Grade II* listed building was built in the fifteenth century. The name Tŷ Newydd translates literally from Welsh as 'New House'. The house has six bedrooms, a large dining room, a kitchen, a conservatory and two libraries. The outbuilding, Hafoty, is the tutors' quarters, and has six extra rooms for guests. Other architectural features of the house include a "Chinese Chippendale" balustrade, a panelled front door with fluted pilasters and a frieze, and a vaulted ceiling in the library. David Lloyd George, the Welsh politician who served as British Prime Minister during the First World War, owned Tŷ Newydd from 1942 until his death in 1945. He had asked for his bed to be moved to the library, and died in that room. The grounds overlook Cardigan Bay and provide a scenic setting considered conducive to literary creativity. During the 1940s these were restyled by the architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. Lloyd George period David Lloyd George (17 January 1863 – 26 March 1945) was a British Liberal politician and statesman, and Prime Minister of the Wartime Coalition Government (1916–22). Lloyd George grew up in Llanystumdwy in Caernarfonshire. As a child, he was educated in the local Anglican school, Llanystumdwy National School. Tŷ Newydd was originally a farm, whose land extended to the road adjacent to Lloyd George's other home, Brynawelon. Brynawelon was later the home of his daughter Megan. In 1942, Lloyd George and his wife Frances bought Tŷ Newydd and initiated a major renovation by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis (28 May 1883 – 9 April 1978). Under his direction, new additions such as the library window and the front window finals were made. Like the rest of the house, the library extension was built of local stone rubble and externally whitewashed. In 1944 the couple moved into Tŷ Newydd. Lloyd George died in 1945, aged 82, and was buried beside the River Dwyfor in Llanystumdwy, only a short distance from the house. A monument designed by Williams-Ellis was erected around the grave. This bears an englyn (a strict-metre stanza in the Welsh language) engraved on slate in his memory, composed by his nephew Dr William George, an accomplished poet who won the crown at the National Eisteddfod in 1974. As a writers' centre Robert Minhinnick, who, with Gillian Clarke, was a tutor on the first course run at the house after it was converted to a writers' centre, credits Sally Baker with the idea for the project. During work carried out in preparation for the opening of the centre, a medieval "post and panel" screen was discovered; it is considered the most historically significant feature of the house.

Barry Castle

Barry Castle ist eine Burgruine in Wales. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* klassifizierte und als Scheduled Monument geschützte Anlage liegt in der Stadt Barry im südwalisischen Vale of Glamorgan. Geschichte Zu Beginn der normannischen Eroberung von Wales erhielt gegen Ende des 11. Jahrhunderts der normannische Ritter Odo Grundbesitz in Pembrokeshire und Glamorgan. Zur Sicherung seiner Besitzungen in Glamorgan errichtete er anstelle einer Ruine aus der Römerzeit eine erste Burg mit Erd- und Holzbefestigungen. Sein Enkel, der bekannte Kirchenpolitiker und Schriftsteller Gerald de Barri, berichtet, dass sich seine Familie nach der Burg und Siedlung de Barri nannte. Hauptsitz der Familie wurde das nahe gelegene Manobier Castle, später errichtete die Familie in Irland Barryscourt Castle. Gegen Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts begann Lucas de Barry die Erd- und Holzbefestigung durch ein befestigtes steinernes Herrenhaus zu ersetzen. Während der Revolte des Walisers Llywelyn Bren wurde die Burg 1316 schwer beschädigt. John de Barry baute die Burg wieder auf und erweiterte sie durch den Bau einer Wohnhalle und eines Torhauses. Bereits im 16. Jahrhundert war Barry Castle verlassen und verfiel. Vermutlich während des Englischen Bürgerkriegs wurde das Torhaus kurzzeitig instand gesetzt, doch nach dem Bürgerkrieg verfiel die Anlage weiter. Heute wird die Ruine von Cadw und der Stadtverwaltung von Barry instand gehalten und ist frei zugänglich. Anlage Die kleine rechteckige Burg war von einer Mauer umschlossen. Innerhalb der Mauer standen zwei steinerne Gebäude, von denen heute aber keine sichtbaren Reste erhalten sind. Erhalten sind die Ruinen des kleinen Torhauses und eines daneben liegenden Wohngebäudes an der Südseite der kleinen Anlage. Das zweigeschossige Torhaus besaß eine gewölbte Tordurchfahrt und war mit Zugbrücke und Fallgitter geschützt. Der Raum über der Tordurchfahrt diente vermutlich als Kapelle. Von dem links neben dem Torhaus gelegenen Gebäude ist noch die Außenmauer erhalten. Das Erdgeschoss besitzt Bogenschießscharten, im Obergeschoss lag die mit einem Kamin versehene Wohnhalle, die ursprünglich ein Schieferdach besaß. Eine enge, in der Mauer eingelassene Treppe führte zu einem Wehrgang auf der südlichen Mauer, der zu dem Torhaus führte. Die Ruine der Burg liegt im Stadtzentrum von Barry auf einem kleinen Hügel nördlich der Grünanlage Romilly Park. Literatur Elisabeth Whittle: Glamorgan and Gwent.

Barry Castle

Barry Castle (Welsh: Castell y Barri) is a small Grade II* listed ruined two-storey gatehouse with the adjacent walls of a hall in the Romilly district of Barry, Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales. History The castle was established as a wooden ringwall in the 12th century by the de Barry (Barri) family. Its name is derived from the nearby island where the pre-Norman chapel of St. Barruca was founded. The castle played a significant role in the local landscape, and its construction was attributed to the knight William de Barry. Throughout the subsequent centuries, Barry Castle underwent various transformations and expansions. In the late 13th century, stone buildings were erected within the original castle, marking a transition from its earlier wooden structure. The castle's evolution continued under the ownership of John de Barry, who oversaw repairs and extensions, including the construction of a southern great hall and a distinctive gatehouse. The castle faced challenges and conflicts over the years. It endured an attack and severe damage during the revolt of Llywelyn Bren against King Edward II in 1316. Despite setbacks, the castle was repaired and extended, contributing to its continued prominence in the region. Architecture The castle originally consisted of wooden and earth fortifications, with a diameter of approximately 35 meters and a protective ditch. In the late 13th century, stone structures were added, including rectangular buildings on the north-east and north-west corners. These structures were connected by defensive walls, enclosing a small courtyard between them. During the 14th century, the castle underwent further expansion, incorporating a southern great hall connected to a gatehouse and a corner tower. The southern building housed a representative hall on its first floor, complete with a fireplace in the north wall. The entrance to this building led from the courtyard, with the possibility of direct access to the first floor via external wooden stairs. The gatehouse, a prominent feature of Barry Castle, included a pointed portal with a portcullis, double doors, and a drawbridge. Above the gate passage, a small room possibly served as a chapel. The gatehouse's upper floor was linked to the adjacent hall building and featured a curving passage connecting to the defensive wall-walk. Current state Today, Barry Castle stands as a Grade II* listed ruined structure. The castle's gatehouse, with its ogival portal and Gothic window, remains relatively well-preserved. Fragments of walls on the north and east sides, as well as an arrowslit, can still be observed. The castle site is open to the public.

Bryn Cader Faner

Bryn cader Faner ist ein runder bronzezeitlicher Grabhügel, der von einem Steinkreis gefasst ist. Er liegt auf dem etwa 600 Meter hohen Hügel „Moel Ysgyfarnogod“ in Gwynedd in der Grafschaft Merionethshire (walisisch Meirionnydd), in der Umgebung der Orte Ffestiniog und Porthmadog im Norden von Wales. Bryn cader Faner ist ein runder, etwa 8,7 m weiter und kaum meterhoher Steinhügel, der eng von 18 (ursprünglich etwa 30) schräg nach außen gestellten, etwa zwei Meter langen spitzen Stelen aus Schiefer umgeben ist. An den Seiten fehlen die Hälfte der Steine des Kreises. In der Mitte des Hügels liegt ein im 19. Jahrhundert angelegter Raubschacht. In der Nähe befinden sich mehrere einfache Steinhügel und Siedlungsreste. Carn Llechart in Glamorgan im südlichen Wales besitzt gewisse Ähnlichkeiten mit Bryn Cader Faner. Er besteht jedoch nicht aus spitzen, sondern breiten Steinplatten. Literatur Vicki Cummings, Alasdair Whittle: Places of special virtue. Megaliths in the Neolithic landscapes of Wales.

Bryn Cader Faner

The Bryn Cader Faner is a Bronze Age round cairn which lies to the east of the small hamlet of Talsarnau in the Ardudwy area of Gwynedd in Wales. The diameter is 8.7 metres (29 ft) and there are 18 thin jagged pillars which jut upwards from the low cairn. It is thought to date back to the late third millennium BC. The site was disturbed by 19th-century treasure hunters, who left a hole in the centre, indicating the position of a cist or a grave. Originally there may have been about 30 pillars, each some 2 metres (7 ft) long. However, before World War 2, the British Army used the site for gunnery practice. The Army damaged many of the stones on the east side. Bryn Cader Faner is thought to mean 'the hill with the chair with the flag' or 'the hill of the throne with the flag'. References
