Llangoed Hall

Llangoed Hall is a country house hotel, near the village of Llyswen, in Powys, Mid Wales. It is known for its decoration in Laura Ashley fabrics and styles, and was owned by Sir Bernard Ashley, the widower of the designer. It is a Grade II* listed building, and its gardens and park are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. History The Hall, originally known as Llangoed Castle, was donated to the church in 560 by Prince Iddon in expiation of his sins. It might have been the site of the reputed White Palace, which was the home of the first Welsh parliament. A mansion existed from 1632. It was in the possession of the Macnamara family for two generations until 1847, but changed hands to settle a gambling debt. After the First World War, Clough Williams-Ellis re-designed it as a country house, retaining the surviving Jacobean porch as part of the south wing but creating several Arts and Crafts additions. Sir Bernard Ashley bought Llangoed Hall in 1987 and opened it as a hotel in 1990. The Ashley family sold the hall to Von Essen Hotels in November 2010 for an undisclosed sum. The property was put up for sale again in February 2012 after Von Essen went into administration in April 2011. Hotel Sir Bernard Ashley's intention was to recreate Llangoed Hall as an Edwardian house, replete with high-society Edwardian customs, period furnishings and antique fittings. The hotel also has an art collection with pieces by Whistler, Augustus John, Walter Sickert, Andrew Melville, John Duncan Fergusson and Albert Lynch. Bedrooms are individually designed and decorated with furnishings from Laura Ashley and Sir Bernard's venture company Elanbach, which he created in 2000 and is based in the hotel's grounds. It won the Best Restaurant in Wales award in its first year. References External links Official website
Llanharan House

Llanharan House is a historic house on the outskirts of Llanharan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It is located off the A473 road, just east of Llanharan and is a Grade II* listed building. The gardens and park attached to the house are designated Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. History The house was built in 1750 by Rees Powell and stayed with the Powell family until 1795 upon which it was purchased by Richard Hoare Jenkins. Hoare Jenkins was a High Sheriff of Glamorgan who was involved in the suppression of the Merthyr Rising of 1831 and is recorded as stating that he found the execution of Dic Penderyn the most difficult of his civic duties. Around 1800 some major improvements were made to the house with the addition of a three-storey circular stair hall which includes a dramatic geometrical staircase. Following the death of Hoare Jenkins in 1856 the house and the estate was passed to a Colonel John Blandy-Jenkins. Following his death in 1915 Colonel Blandy-Jenkins's wife kept the house until 1953, after which it was bought by Sir George Williams CBE MC, a descendant of Oliver Cromwell, of the Williams family of Aberpergwm House and St Donat's Castle and his wife Grizzle a descendent of Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald. The recusant Williams family established a Catholic Chapel in the house, as there was no local Catholic Church, which was in use until the early 2000s when a church was built in Miskin. Three members of the family served as High Sheriff of Mid Glamorgan while living at the house. The Williams family emigrated and sold the house in 2015 ending over 600 years of the family being based in South Wales. The house has been used regularly for filming for programmes such as Sherlock, Upstairs Downstairs, Doctor Who and Pobol y Cwm. Actors including Alan Bates, Ruth Negga and Ed Stoppard have all performed at the house. Margaret Thatcher also used the house for a conference while she was Prime Minister and George II of Greece spent time at the house. Llanharan house has a strong historical connection with fox hunting. This Welsh pack was named The Llanharan and was established by Richard Hoare Jenkins in 1805, though the pack was renamed the Llangeinor during the period when Mr John Blandy Jenkins was the squire. The Llangeinor is now based in Coity near Bridgend. References

Llanllwch

Llanllwch is a hamlet in Carmarthenshire, Wales approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Carmarthen. History The name Llanllwch derives from a lake or pool nearby, the site of which is now a tract of boggy land west of Llanllwch known as Llanllwch bog. The Parish of Llanllwch The Parish of Llanllwch was originally a part of the historic Parish of St. Peter, which was divided into three districts by an Order of the Queen in Council dated 10 November 1843. In July 1857, they became separate parishes. The Borough of Carmarthen ceased to exist after the local government reorganization of 1974, but Llanllwch still remains within the authority of Carmarthen Town Council. The Manor of Llanllwch The Llanllwch area formed part of the royal demesne manor of Carmarthen Castle between Norman times and the late thirteenth century when they were farmed out for rent to 'customary' tenants called "gabblers" (gabularii) or "gafol-men", who were still tied to the castle. Other areas were let to local landowners. Eleven of the twelve gafol-men died from the Black Death between 1349 and 1350 and the other tenants abandoned their land, leaving the area uncultivated. There were also several water mills for grinding corn, one of which was documented in 1300. According to accounts of 1407–09, the hamlet and the mills were "totally destroyed and devastated" during the Welsh Revolt of Owain Glyndŵr. Cors Goch West of Llanllwch lies Cors Goch, a lowland raised mire and one of the last six large raised bogs in Wales, and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Лланвернський металургійний завод

51°34′19.2″ пн. ш. 2°54′47.9″ зх. д. |зображення_розмір= |стиль_картки= |зображення_підпис= Лланвернський металургійний завод (англ. Llanwern steelworks) — металургійний завод в Уельсі, біля міста Ньюпорт. Був введений в дію 1962 року. До припинення на ньому у 2001 році доменного і сталеплавильного виробництва, був заводом з повним металургійним циклом. Після 2004 року більшу частину цехів на заводі було демонтовано. У 2012 році працювали лише прокатний та деякі інші цехи. Спочатку завод мав назву «Spencer Works», а після націоналізації у 1967 році і підпорядкування компанії «British Steel» — Лланвернський металургійний завод. Назва походить від назви селища Лланверн (Ллануерн) (англ. Llanwern, валл. Llanwern). Історія Завод було побудовано компанією «Річард Томас енд Болдвінз». Вартість будівництва становила 150 млн. фунтів стерлінгів. План було представлено 1956 року, будівництво почалося наприкінці 1959 року. Завод почав роботу 25 жовтня 1962 року після урочистого відкриття, участь в якому взяла англійська королева Єлизавета II під час свого першого візиту до Ньюпорту з часу коронаційної подорожі у 1959 році. На заводі було запущено один з перших киснево-конверторних цехів у Британії. Тут також вперше на британських заводах було вдало використано ЕОМ для контролю виробничого процесу у прокатному виробництві. Завод працював з повним металургійним циклом, що включав в себе виробництво чавуну у доменних печах, переробку чавуну на сталь і прокатне виробництво. У вересні 2000 року компанія «Corus», якій належав завод, оголосила про намір витратити 35 млн фунтів стерлінгів на капітальний ремонт доменної печі, однак вже у грудні 2000 року було оголошено про закриття заводу через малий попит на його продукцію у Великій Британії і Європі та сильний фунт, що заважав експорту. На той момент на заводі працювало 3000 робітників. 2001 року більшість цехів заводу було закрито. 2004 року було розпочато демонтаж заводу — демонтовані доменні печі, сталеливарний цех тощо. У січні 2009 року «Corus» заявила про зупинення цеху гарячої прокатки і звільнення понад 500 працівників. У серпні 2009 року «Corus» анонсував відновлення роботи прокатного виробництва. Однак, подальші проблеми, викликані кризою у Єврозоні, спонукали компанію знову законсервувати стани гарячої прокатки, починаючи з 24 листопада 2011 року з плановим відновленням роботи наприкінці 2012 року. Робота заводу Станом на 2012 рік на заводі працювали прокатний цех, що випускав гарячий і холодний прокат, дві лінії з декапірування і лінія гальваностегії. Подальше використання території Після демонтажу більшої частини заводу, звільнилася велика територія. За проектом влади Ньюпорту і уельського уряду на ділянці території колишнього заводу має бути побудований новий населений пункт — Глен-Ллин. Вартість проекту — 1 млрд фунтів стерлінгів, він був розрахований на 20 років і має бути завершеним до 2026 року. Посилання
Llechwedd Slate Caverns

Llechwedd (Welsh pronunciation: [ɬɛχˈwɛð]) is a visitor attraction near Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, Wales. It details the history of slate quarrying in the town and specifically the Llechwedd quarry in which it is located. The main aspect of Llechwedd is its Llechwedd Deep Mine Tour which has the steepest narrow gauge railway in the UK and travels over 500 feet (150 m) underground to the disused slate caverns, and the Quarry Explorer Tour which heads out to the furthest reaches of the Llechwedd site to explore the history of mining in the area. The attraction also incorporates Mountain biking tracks, Zip-lines and giant underground trampolines. Bounce Below is right beside the underground zip wire, Zip World Caverns and Zip World Titan - the longest zip course in Europe. History The 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge Miners' Tramway, opened in 1972 under the name "Quarry Tours", was a railway travelling 800 metres underground. The trains were hauled by battery-electric locomotives and travelled through tunnels and into a series of quarry chambers. The tramway's closure in 2014, as part of a revamp of the caverns, caused some controversy. The Deep Mine, opened in 1979, is accessed by the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge Deep Mine Railway, a steep passenger incline railway with a gradient of 1:1.8 or 30°. At the foot of the railway, visitors can walk through several tunnels and chambers of the mine. In 1992 the Deep Mine displays were upgraded using audio-visual technology supplied by Eurodisney. In 2014 the Bounce Below attraction, described as "the world's largest underground trampoline", opened in the mine caverns along with the Zip World wire course outside. As part of the 2014 developments a new guided Victorian Mine Tour opened combining the inclined railway, the tunnels from the two previous tours and some tunnels newly opened to the public. In 2015 the Zip World Caverns wire course opened within the caves. In January 2019 a television crew took over the caverns for a week to film the world's first ever underground games show, Y Siambr, broadcast later in the year on S4C. Awards The Caverns were claimed by Ivor Wynne Jones, a director of Llechwedd Slate Caverns, to be "winner of every major tourism award". In 1976, the opening year, Llechwedd won the British Tourist Authority's "Come to Britain" award, their top award. In 1980, the caverns were awarded the "Silver Otter" award from the British Guild of Travel Writers. That year, they also won their third award from the British Tourist Authority - the first British tourist attraction to win three of these awards.

The house has been described as a "simple stone-built villa", which has been "inspired by 17th-century vernacular work of Northern England". The listing description says it is a "freely interpreted neo-vernacular house of considerable architectural quality". It is built in random rubble, with red sandstone dressings; it has a slate roof with a crest of red tiles, and brick chimneystacks with stone caps.

Lloyd George Museum

The Lloyd George Museum is dedicated to the life and times of David Lloyd George, the Welshman who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1916 to 1922. It is located in Lloyd George's home village of Llanystumdwy, Wales, where he is buried, and is run by Gwynedd Council. It is normally open during the summer months and by appointment during the rest of the year. The Lloyd George Museum Trust was founded in 1948, three years after the death of Lloyd George, and its secretary, Ann Parry, was the first curator of the museum. The main exhibition was opened in 1960, in the presence of Countess Lloyd-George of Dwyfor, Lloyd George's widow. It was housed in a new building designed by Clough Williams-Ellis, which was extended, refurbished and reopened in 1990. The opening ceremony was conducted by Lord Callaghan. The museum also includes Highgate, the boyhood home of Lloyd George, which has been furnished and decorated to appear as it was in the late 19th century. The family was almost destitute following the death of Lloyd George's father, and was able to live there only through the generosity of his mother's brother Richard Lloyd (1834–1917), a shoemaker and clergyman. Richard's mother, the children's grandmother, also lived with them there. Among the artefacts at the museum is Lloyd George's draft copy of the Conditions of Peace at Versailles. Other exhibits include deeds of freedom, documents and photographs. "Lloyd George's Crown" is a coin representing the first old age pension to be paid in Wales.

Llwyn Isaf

Llwyn Isaf (Welsh for 'lower grove'), also known as the Library Field, is a green space in the centre of Wrexham. It is surrounded on two sides by the city's guildhall and on another by the library. The space is most popular with students from the nearby Yale College. It is home to a bandstand and often hosts outdoor events and activities. All ball games and alcohol are banned on Llwyn Isaf. Wrexham Council run a webcam that is pointed at the grass. History The green space was originally the landscaped grounds of a mansion house known as Ypsytty (or Ysbyty) Ucha (Welsh for 'Upper Hospital'). This house was said to have been present here by 1700, and would take up the space the Guildhall and Wrexham Library now stand. By 1715, during the Wrexham riots, there are records that a large pond called the "Great Pool" (Pwll Mawr) was located at the end of these grounds adjoining the rears of the buildings along Chester Street. The house on the site was later named Llwyn Isaf (meaning "lower grove") by 1800, and later became a vicar's home by 1830, being leased to then Vicar of Wrexham, George Cunliffe, son of Robert Cunliffe of Acton Hall. Cunliffe subsequently bought the house, and following his death the house became a vicarage. The original gateway to Llwyn Isaf is the opening next to Chester Street and the library's car park. Up until 1939, the house potentially served as an extension to the nearby girls' school. Following World War II, the area was proposed by Crosville Motor Services to be surfaced over in tarmac and a bus station constructed on the site, which would have meant the destruction of the park. The house was purchased by the local council in the early 1950s, becoming a temporary home of the local library, but was subsequently demolished to be replaced by the Guildhall. The Guildhall's construction also faced opposition due to fears Llwyn Isaf park would be destroyed in the process. Llwyn Isaf green now lies at the centre of Wrexham's civic centre just off Queen's Square. The Wrexham Library is to the green's northern side, leading it to also be called the "Library Field". The field is popular with students from nearby Yale College. The field has a bandstand that is also popular with the city's students. The 1912 Wrexham National Eisteddfod and the 2025 Wrexham National Eisteddfod were proclaimed here. With the 1912 proclamation having David Lloyd George in attendance, and the target of criticism from suffragettes on the Liberal government's opposition on Women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. The following year's eisteddfod, for 1913, was also proclaimed here for it to take place in Abergavenny. The Welsh Children in Need concert was held at this location in 2005.

Llyn Bedydd

Llyn Bedydd is a small lake in Wrexham County Borough, in northeastern Wales, near the border with England. It is 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) south west of Whitchurch. The lake and the surrounding woodland are designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Description Llyn Bedydd means the "lake of Beda", the identity of Beda is however not known. Llyn Bedydd is 1 hectare (2.5 acres) in area and is surrounded by carr woodland of willow and alder which merges into drier deciduous woodland dominated by downy birch and sycamore higher up the slope. Flora and fauna The wet carr around the Llyn Bedydd is notable for purple small reed and alder buckthorn which are very rare in Clwyd; tufted sedge and bay willow which are uncommon in Clwyd; and the nationally scarce cowbane. The thin fringing strip of fen supports other interesting plants, especially sedges. The fen creates a tussocky species rich floating mat at the southern end of the lake while on the land in the southeastern corner of the SSSI there is a small area of fen pasture which grades into a bog. Llyn Bedydd is relatively shallow but it has steeply shelving banks which are shaded by the woodlands and these restrict the development of stands of emergent and marginal vegetation. Llyn Bedydd is supports a rich invertebrate fauna, species recorded include the nationally scarce variable damselfly and the local red-eyed damselfly. Llyn Bedydd contains common bream, common rudd, common carp, European perch, tench and common roach. The fishing is run by Warners Fishing Club. Archaeology In 1877 a logboat was found in the Llyn Bedydd. References See also List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Clwyd
