Penycloddiau

Penycloddiau (walisisch: Hügel der Gräben) ist ein 440 m ASL hoher Berg in Flintshire in Wales. Hillfort Das derzeit in Ausgrabung befindliche, etwa 26 ha große Hillfort auf dem Penycloddiau ist das zweitgrößte in Wales. Es wurde etwa 500 v. Chr. errichtet. Es umgibt den ovalen Gipfel eines der größeren Hügel der Clwydian Range. In der Nähe des Gipfels liegt ein bronzezeitlicher Cairn (errichtet um 2000 v. Chr.). Über den Hügel und durch das Hillfort verläuft der Offa’s Dyke. Die Hügel ist von breiten Wällen und Gräben umgeben. Am steilen Südhang gibt es nur einen Wall. Im Norden, wo die Steigung weniger stark ist, gibt es mehrere Wälle und Gräben. Frühere Grabungen in der Region legen nahe, dass derart große Hillforts die älteren der beiden Typen von eisenzeitlichen Höhenbefestigungen auf den Britischen Inseln sind. Die Ausgrabungen sollen die Ursprünge der Hügelbefestigungen im Westen Britanniens klären. Literatur Ian Brown: Penycloddiau Iron Age hillfort. In: Ian Brown: Discovering a Welsh landscape.

Penycloddiau

Penycloddiau is a hill in Flintshire, Wales, and one of five Marilyns in the Clwydian Range. The hill, like Foel Fenlli and Moel Arthur to the south, has an Iron Age hillfort at its summit. It covers 26 hectares (64 acres) making it one of the largest hillforts in Wales. In 2017, excavations by the Clywdian Range Archaeology Group (CRAG) unearthed a significant number of 4,000-year-old stone tools from the Bronze Age, the discovery indicates human activity occurred much earlier than first thought in the area. Penycloddiau is crossed by the Offa's Dyke Path and the Clwydian Way, two long distance footpaths that traverse the hills in this area. A free car park exists at the bwlch between Penycloddiau and Moel Arthur, where two footpaths lead to the summit.

Plas Bodegroes

Plas Bodegroes is a former Georgian country house which stands in its own grounds near Pwllheli, Gwynedd on the Llŷn Peninsula. The grade II* listed building, previously a restaurant, is now a self catering holiday home. The house was built in 1780 for William Griffith (1748–1816), probably designed by Joseph Bromfield, and probably incorporating elements of a previous house. It is built in two storeys with attics, rendered and painted white. Like the other two houses thought to have been designed by Bromfield (Broom Hall and Nanhoron), the house has a long verandah at the rear supported by elegant iron pillars. A notable feature of the grounds is the avenue of beech trees leading up to the house. By the end of the 19th century the house belonged to a John Savin. In the 1940s it belonged to a show-business dancer who created a Japanese garden at the rear. The gardens are designated Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. Until 2006, it was Wales' only Michelin Starred restaurant, and the only 5-star rated restaurant with a hotel in Wales. It lost its Michelin star in 2009.

Plas Brondanw

Plas Brondanw (grid reference SH616422) in Garreg, Llanfrothen, Gwynedd, North Wales, was the family home of Clough Williams-Ellis, creator of the Italianate village Portmeirion, and elements of similar architectural styles can be seen at both locations. It is a grade II* listed building. The gardens, in a series of garden rooms enclosed by yew hedges and open lawns, linked by carefully planned vistas, is one of only three Grade I listed gardens in Gwynedd. Plas Brondanw stands on the road to the tiny village of Croesor and the distinctive Snowdonia mountain named Cnicht, within the Snowdonia National Park. History The house was built by John ap Hywel in about 1550, and another member of the family, William Williams, made various improvements in 1660. The names Williams and Ellis became linked together in 1807 when the Reverend John Ellis married Jane Bulgin, who was heiress to the Williams estate. Clough Williams-Ellis inherited the run-down Plas Brondanw from his father in 1908, when he was aged 25, and set about restoring both the house and the gardens. The house itself had by this time been split into apartments, and the garden had been turned into allotments. In 1951 the property was badly damaged by fire, and this event, and the subsequent restoration of the property, is commemorated by a flaming urn statue, mounted at the top of a waterfall. The restoration was completed by December 1953. Also across the road, but within the grounds of Plas Brondanw, Williams-Ellis had constructed a folly named Folly Castle. A plaque records that the castle was "a wedding present from the Welsh Guards to Clough Williams-Ellis and Amabel Strachey in 1915." Located on a small hill, it affords good views of the surrounding landscape. Scenes from the film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness and the Doctor Who episode "The Five Doctors" were filmed at the folly. Visitor information The gardens are open to the public for a small fee. The former stable building was converted into a cafe and craft shop in 2011.

Plas Machynlleth

Plas Machynlleth ist ein Landhaus im Markt Machynlleth in der früheren walisischen Grafschaft Montgomeryshire, heute Teil von Powys. Es war die walisische Residenz der Marquesses of Londonderry. In die Familie kam es durch Heirat von George Vane-Tempest, Viscount Seaham (und später Earl Vane und 5. Marquess of Londonderry), mit Mary Cornelia Edwards, deren Vater, Sir John Edwards, 1. Baronet of Garth, das Haus erweitern ließ und umbenannte. Plas Machynlleth gilt als historisches Bauwerk II*. Grades. Geschichte Das Haus war das Familienheim des 5. Marquess. Sein ältester Sohn, Charles Vane-Tempest, 6. Marquess of Londonderry, verließ Plas Machynlleth, als er die Nachfolge seines Vaters antrat, aber sein jüngster Sohn, Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest, wohnte weiterhin in dem Landhaus, bis er am 26. Januar 1921 beim Eisenbahnunfall von Abermule getötet wurde. Die ältesten Teile des Hauses stammen aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Die Eingangsfassade wurde 1853 hinzugefügt. Viele Jahre lang hieß das Landhaus Greenfields. Später wurde es nach dem Marktflecken, in dem es steht, umbenannt. Der 7. Marquess of Londonderry vermachte Haus und Grundstück dem Markt Machynlleth, der es für Verwaltungsbüros nutzte. 1995 wurde das Gebäude nach einer drei Millionen Pfund teuren Renovierung, die von der Grafschaftsverwaltung von Montgomeryshire und der EU bezahlt wurde, zum „Celtica Heritage Centre“. Einige Jahre lang zog das Zentrum erfolgreich Touristen sowie Bildungsbesucher und Konferenzen an. Dann wurde es von der neuen Grafschaftsverwaltung von Powys übernommen. 2006 wurde es wegen geringer Investitionen durch die Verwaltung und sinkender Besucherzahlen geschlossen; in den Jahren 1998–2006 hatte es einen Verlust von 1,1 Millionen Pfund eingefahren. Das Landhaus dient heute als Veranstaltungsort für kommunale Zwecke und Treffen. Einzelnachweise Weblinks
Plas Mynach

Plas Mynach is a large country house in Barmouth, Gwynedd, Wales. It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building, and stands in a prominent position overlooking the sea. History The house was designed in 1883 by the Chester architect John Douglas for W. H. Jones. Architecture Plas Mynach is built in local stone with a slate roof. Its most distinctive features are a low spreading tower with a stair turret and stepped gables. Its plan consists of a main range with two storeys to the south, single-storey service ranges to the north, and a gatehouse range to the east of the three-storey tower. Internally "the hall, staircase and landing provide a classic example of Douglas's domestic joinery". The door knocker came from Nuremberg. External features The lodge to the house, also designed by Douglas for Jones, is designated at Grade II. Critique In 1884 the architect Raffles Davison stated that the house "very nearly realised to me the idea of a perfect country house" and inside was "one of the most charming halls I have seen". In his biography of Douglas, Hubbard states it has "a strength and austere simplicity unusual in Douglas's work". The description in the listing refers to it as "one of the more important country houses by John Douglas, in an apparently little-altered condition".

Plas Newydd (Llangollen)

Plas Newydd (gal·lès: "residència nova" o "mansió nova") és una casa històrica a la localitat de Llangollen, Denbighshire, Gal·les. Fou la casa de les Senyoretes de Llangollen -Lady Eleanor Butler i Sarah Ponsonby- durant gairebé 50 anys. Avui és un museu gestionat pel Denbighshire County Council. Història Plas Newydd és coneguda com la casa on dues senyores irlandeses, Lady Eleanor Butler i Sarah Ponsonby (les Senyoretes de Llangollen) es van escapar i es posaren a viure juntes a finals del segle xviii, escandalitzant la societat britànica de l'època. Tot i que al principi van ser excloses per les seves famílies, les senyoretes i el seu estil de vida poc convencional van ser gradualment acceptades, i la seva casa va ser visitada per moltes persones famoses com Robert Southey, William Wordsworth, Caroline Lamb i Sir Walter Scott, el Duc de Wellington i l'industrial Josiah Wedgwood. Les senyoretes van ampliar i millorar tant la casa com el jardí, afegint-hi molts elements d'estil gòtic. Després de llur mort els anys 1829 i 1831, la propietat passà per diverses mans i va experimentar un seguit de canvis. El general John Yorke va afegir-li els característics elements blancs i negres a l'exterior i va omplir l'interior amb rareses provinents de tot el món. El 1932 la casa va ser adquirida pel Llangollen Urban District Council i actualment és un museu.

Plas Tan y Bwlch

Plas Tan y Bwlch in Gwynedd, Wales, is a large 19th century house in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. It is located approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) east of the coastal town of Porthmadog, overlooking the valley of the River Dwyryd and the village of Maentwrog. It was the Snowdonia National Park environmental studies centre, administered by the National Park Authority. The centre provided courses about the Snowdonia National Park and the surrounding region of Wales. In August 2024 the house was offered for sale at a guide price of £1.2 million. History Plas Tan y Bwlch was built by the Oakeley family during the 19th century on the site of a first house probably built in the early 17th century. Additions designed by the Chester architect John Douglas were made to the house for W. E. Oakley in 1872. The nearby Oakeley Arms Hotel was also once part of the estate but was sold off in the early 20th century. The Oakeley family owned a huge slate quarry in Blaenau Ffestiniog from which slates were carried to Porthmadog by the Ffestiniog Railway which passed through the estate. Plas Tan y Bwlch is thought to be the first house in North Wales with electric lighting powered from its own hydro-electric station, which was commissioned in the 1890s. A pipeline from the nearby Llyn Mair fed water to a Pelton wheel, which was located in a small power house on the hillside immediately behind the house. It ceased to operate soon after 1928, when the public hydro-electric power station at Maentwrog began supplying the area. In June 2013 a new hydro-scheme, costing £420,000, and similarly tapping the water from Llyn Mair, was opened. The water falls 60 metres (200 ft) to the turbine, and the scheme is expected to meet most of the Plas' electricity needs. The gardens of around 80 acres are designated Grade II* on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.

Pont Abraham Services

Pont Abraham Services is a Motorway service area in Carmarthenshire, Wales, near Pontarddulais at the western end of the M4 motorway at junction 49, where the motorway meets the A48 and A483 on a roundabout. It has come under regular criticism for high fuel costs. Location The services are at a roundabout at the end of the M4, where the A48 (and later the A40) takes over the main traffic route to West Wales. It can be accessed from any direction the vehicles are travelling. History The location of the services was originally a bridge over the River Gwili on what later became the A48, and was known as Gwili Bridge. The services were first proposed in 1975, while the M4 bypass of Pontarddulais was under construction. They were opened by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales, John Stradling Thomas on 17 June 1983. The following year, Stradling Thomas was also asked if there would be further picnic areas provided on the M4, as there were at Pont Abraham, but replied that it was a matter for the private sector. Fuel The services have been regularly criticised on review websites such as TripAdvisor. One such review said the facilities were "about as much fun as telling the kids the dog's been put to sleep". A common complaint is high fuel prices. This may be because motorists think it is the last place they could easily find to refuel a vehicle, though there are other nearby petrol stations, such as one on the A48 at Cross Hands four miles away. In 2005, the price of diesel reached 99p per litre, which invited comparisons with sunflower oil generated biodiesel which a local driver said could cost half the price. In 2022, the services were one of the first in the country to reach £2 per litre, when it was charging 202.9p for unleaded petrol. It has also being criticised for its high prices to recharge electric vehicles. In 2023, a poll found that Pont Abraham was the second worst service area in the UK, just above Bothwell services. Employee scandal The services had a long-running share ownership scheme, provided by RoadChef. In 2014, former employees at the services won a court case after shares they owned in a company scheme were transferred. However, a full payout was never made.
