Llyn Eigiau

Llyn Eigiau is a lake on the edge of the Carneddau range of mountains in Snowdonia, Conwy, Wales. The name Eigiau is thought to refer to the shoals of fish which once lived here. Early maps refer to it as Llynyga. It is thought that a small number of Arctic char exist in the lake (as they do in neighbouring Llyn Cowlyd) after they were transferred here from Llyn Peris, and certainly it is one of the few lakes in Wales to have its own natural brown trout. The lake is surrounded by mountains including Pen Llithrig y Wrach. Dam In 1911 a dam ¾ mile long and 35-foot (11 m) high was built across part of its eastern side to supply water for the power station at Dolgarrog, which in turn provided power for the adjacent aluminium works. Materials for the dam were transported along the newly laid Eigiau Tramway, which ran from Dolgarrog and utilized the route of the former Cedryn Quarry Tramway. The original contractor pulled out of the construction, alleging corner-cutting, and indeed on 2 November 1925, following 26 inches (660 mm) of rain in just five days, the dam broke. The water flowed down to Coedty Reservoir, also causing that to burst, and millions of gallons of water flowed down into the village of Dolgarrog, causing the loss of 16 lives. A new power station was built at Dolgarrog in 1925. Three short black and white silent films of the incident exist. A study of the dam today shows that the foundations were insufficient, and large lumps of unmixed cement can also be seen. The dam material that can be seen through existing holes is flaky and tends to break away easily. Present-day Today the lake covers an area of about 120 acres (0.49 km2), and has a depth of about 32-foot (9.8 m). After the construction of the dam its area would have been twice this. Water is fed into Llyn Eigiau by a tunnel from the stream below Llyn Dulyn, and another larger tunnel takes water from Llyn Eigiau to Llyn Cowlyd. The main feeder of Llyn Eigiau is Afon Eigiau, a small river which flows down Cwm Eigiau. The outflow from Llyn Eigiau is called Afon Porth-llwyd, and this flows via Coedty reservoir before passing under Pont Newydd in Dolgarrog. This then flows into the River Conwy. Access Although private vehicles are not permitted access to the lake itself, there is a carpark within walking distance, approx. half a mile from the dam and which is reached by road from the B5106 at Tal-y-bont, in the Conwy valley. The road passes through Llanbedr-y-Cennin and thereafter becomes a narrow lane as it goes over the hills towards the lake. Along this lane there are some public footpaths signposted, with stiles to access them over the old dry-stone walls that run along parts of the lane. Bibliography Jones, Jonah (1987).

Llyn Eigiau

Llyn Eigiau est un lac au bord de la chaîne de montagnes Carneddau (en) à Snowdonia, Conwy, Pays de Galles. On pense que le nom Eigiau fait référence aux bancs de poissons qui vivaient autrefois ici. Les premières cartes l'appellent Llynyga. On pense qu'un petit nombre d'ombles chevaliers sont présents dans le lac (comme ils le sont dans le Llyn Cowlyd (en) voisin) , transférés ici depuis Llyn Peris (en), et c'est certainement l'un des rares lacs du Pays de Galles à avoir sa propre truite brune naturelle. Barrage En 1911, un barrage de 1 200 m de long et 11 m de haut fut construit sur une partie de son côté est pour alimenter en eau la centrale électrique de Dolgarrog, qui à son tour alimenta les usines d'aluminium adjacentes. Les matériaux du barrage furent transportés le long du nouveau Eigiau Tramway (en), qui partait de Dolgarrog et empruntait le tracé de l'ancien tramway de la carrière Cedryn . Rupture en 1925 L'entrepreneur d'origine se retira de la construction, alléguant une malfonction (corner cutting). Le 2 novembre 1925, après 660 mm de pluie en seulement cinq jours, le barrage se brisa. L'eau s'écoula vers le réservoir Coedty (en), provoquant également son éclatement, et des milliers de mètres cubes d'eau s'écoulèrent dans le village de Dolgarrog, causant la mort de 16 personnes. Une nouvelle centrale électrique fut construite à Dolgarrog en 1925. Trois courts films muets en noir et blanc de l'incident peuvent être vus ici. Une étude du barrage montre aujourd'hui que les fondations étaient tout à fait insuffisantes, et de gros morceaux de ciment non mélangé peuvent également être observés. Le matériau du barrage qui peut être vu à travers les trous existants est floconneux et a tendance à se détacher facilement. Le lac aujourd'hui Aujourd'hui, le lac couvre une superficie d'environ 49 hectares et a une profondeur d'environ 10 mètres. Avant la rupture du barrage, sa superficie était deux fois plus importante. Le Llyn Eigiau est alimenté en eau par un tunnel au départ du Llyn Dulyn, et celle-ci en est ensuite transférée vers le Llyn Cowlyd par un second tunnel, plus grand. La principale source d'alimentation de Llyn Eigiau est Afon Eigiau, une petite rivière qui coule sur Cwm Eigiau. L'exutoire de Llyn Eigiau s'appelle Afon Porth-llwyd et s'écoule via le réservoir Coedty avant de passer sous Pont Newydd à Dolgarrog. Celui-ci se jette ensuite dans la rivière Conwy. Accès Bien que les véhicules privés ne soient pas autorisés à accéder au lac lui-même, il y a un parking à distance de marche, à environ 800 m du barrage et qui est accessible par la route B5106 à Tal-y-bont, dans la vallée de Conwy. La route traverse Llanbedr-y-Cennin (en) et devient par la suite une voie étroite en passant par les collines en direction du lac. Le long de cette voie, de trouvent des sentiers publics balisés, avec des échaliers pour y accéder au-dessus des vieux murs en pierre sèche qui longent certaines parties de la voie.

CUBRIC

The Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) is a brain imaging centre, part of Cardiff University's Science and Innovation Campus in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. When it expanded in 2016, it was considered the most advanced brain imaging centre in Europe. Building Construction CUBRIC was established in the Cathays Park campus of Cardiff University in 2006, and moved to a new building in the Maindy Park campus in June 2016. The new building was constructed on old railway land, with the railway aiding in the delivery of the larger scanners. It cost £44,000,000, partially funded by Cardiff University, and partially by the Welsh Government. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 7 June 2016. Awards The new building was awarded the title of Life Science Research Building 2017 by the UK Science Park Association. It also received the "Project of the Year" and "Design Through Innovation" awards from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, who praised it for its "precise and beautifully detailed multi-sensory design". It was also a contender for the National Eisteddfod of Wales Gold Medal for Architecture in 2017. It has been designed to create a relaxing environment volunteers, with large windows and timber structures. Research Cardiff University's School of Psychology created CUBRIC to facilitate interdisciplinary brain research, using multiple neuroimaging machines and laboratory techniques. The centre houses: 4 machines for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnetoencephalography (MEG) electroencephalography (EEG) research 5 electrical brain stimulation (EBS) laboratories 10 cognitive method laboratories the first connectome scanner outside the United States, a Siemens 3-tesla Connectom system. A range of cognitive neuroscience studies are being carried out at CUBRIC, covering areas such as sleep research and curiosity research. The centre aims to investigate neurological aspects of conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. One of the centre's first major research projects in the new building involved the study of Huntington's disease. The connectome scanner generates a map of the axons in white matter, connections of the brain, by measuring the nearby movement of water molecules to 1⁄1000 millimetre (3.9×10−5 in) precision. Anomalous structures and changes to the brain's function, called biomarkers, can be identified through comparison to scans of healthy brains.

Tŷ Hywel

Tŷ Hywel (Welsh for 'Hywel House') is a building in Cardiff, Wales, used by the Senedd (Welsh Parliament; Welsh: Senedd Cymru; formerly the National Assembly for Wales). It is named after the medieval king Hywel Dda (Howell the Good), King of Deheubarth in South West Wales. The building was previously known as Crickhowell House (Welsh: Tŷ Crughywel), after the former Secretary of State for Wales, Lord Crickhowell. It houses Members of the Senedd and their staff, as well as staff of the Senedd Commission. The Welsh Government also operates from the building and occupies one whole floor and part of another. It is leased by the Senedd under the Government of Wales Act 1998. The building was opened in 1991 and has a total floor area of 11,583 m2 (124,680 sq ft). It is built of red brick and is connected to the Senedd building in Cardiff Bay. Crickhowell House housed the temporary debating chamber for the National Assembly for Wales from 1999 until its new building, also originally known as the Senedd, was opened in 2006. Tŷ Hywel is part of the Senedd estate in Cardiff Bay, along with the Senedd building and the Grade I listed Pierhead Building. Two covered link bridges connect the Senedd building to Tŷ Hywel. Construction of the link bridges began in September 2004 and they were completed by December 2005. The former temporary debating chamber was reopened on 25 June 2008 by Charles, Prince of Wales, as Siambr Hywel, a youth debating chamber and education centre. Between April 2025 and February 2026, Siambr Hywel hosted plenary sessions of the Senedd whilst the debating chamber in the Senedd building was undergoing refurbishment to increase its capacity to accommodate the 96 members that are due to be elected in May 2026.

Pennard Castle

Pennard Castle er ruinen af en borg nær landsbyen Pennard på Gowerhalvøen i det sydlige Wales. Borgen blev oprindeligt opført i 1100-tallet som et voldsted med tømmerpalisader efter den normanniske invasion af Wales. Murene blev genopført i sten af Braose-familien overgangen til 1400-tallet, og her blev også opført en portbygning af sten. Få år senere gjorden vandreklitter dog at området blev forladt, og borgen gik i forfald. I 1900-tallet blev ruinen restaurereret, og borgen er i dag en listed building af 2. grad.

Pennard Castle

Pennard Castle (walisisch Castell Pennard) ist eine Burgruine auf der Gower-Halbinsel in Wales. Die als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* klassifizierte und als Scheduled Monument geschützte Ruine liegt westlich der Ortschaft Pennard auf einem sandigen Höhenzug. Nach Norden und Westen fällt das Gelände steil zum Tal des Pennard Pill ab, von der Burg kann man die Three Cliffs Bay und die westlich gelegenen Penmaen Burrows überblicken. Geschichte Vermutlich baute Henry de Beaumont oder einer seiner Gefolgsleute nach der normannischen Eroberung der Gower-Halbinsel zu Beginn des 12. Jahrhunderts eine einfache, aus einem Ringwall und Graben bestehende Befestigung. Weiter westlich, auf der anderen Seite des Tal des Pennard Pill, befand sich eine weitere, Penmaen genannte Ringwallbefestigung aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Zu Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts wurde Pennard Castle erweitert und zum Ende des 13. oder im frühen 14. Jahrhundert aus Stein neu errichtet. Zum Bau verwendete man lokalen Kalkstein und rötlichen Sandstein. Wie Oystermouth Castle erhielt 1203 William de Braose die Burg, die bis 1326 im Besitz seiner Nachkommen blieb und dann durch Erbfolge an John Mowbray fiel. Östlich der Burg entstand ein kleines Dorf mit einer steinernen Kirche, doch wegen ihrer Lage versandete die strategisch günstige Burg zunehmend und wurde gegen Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts verlassen. Wegen der zunehmenden Versandung wurde auch das Dorf 1532 endgültig aufgegeben. Die Ruine ist frei zugänglich. Anlage Die kleine Burg bestand nur aus einer runden, dem Verlauf des ursprünglichen Ringwalls folgenden Ringmauer. Innerhalb des Walls befand sich nur eine wohl aus dem 12. Jahrhundert stammende steinerne Halle. An der Ostseite war ein durch Zwillingstürme geschütztes Torhaus vorhanden, im Westen befand sich ein rechteckiger Wohnturm. Die aus lokalem Kalk- und rötlichen Sandstein erbaute Burg wurde relativ primitiv errichtet. Zwar besaßen die Tortürme Maschikulis und Schießscharten, doch waren diese so amateurhaft angelegt, dass sie nur eingeschränkt zur Verteidigung hätten dienen können. Von der Burg sind neben den Fundamenten vor allem noch Mauerteile der Ringmauer an der Nordseite sowie Reste des Torhauses und der beiden Türme erhalten. 400 m östlich der Burg befinden sich die Mauerreste der Kirche St Mary, die einzigen sichtbaren Überreste des aufgegebenen Dorfes.

Castello di Pennard

Il castello di Pennard (in inglese: Pennard Castle) è un castello in rovina situato nei pressi del villaggio gallese di Pennard, nella penisola di Gower (area di Swansea, Galles sud-orientale) e realizzato tra gli inizi del XII secolo e la fine del XIII secolo o gli inizi del XIV secolo. Fu la residenza dei signori di Gower. Il castello è classificato come edificio di II grado. Storia La fortezza originaria fu fatta probabilmente costruire agli inizi del XII secolo da Henry de Beaumont, I conte di Warwick, che dal 1107 era divenuto signore di Gower. L'edificio originario era costituito da un forte circolare in legno circondato da un fossato. L'edificio fu in seguito ricostruito in pietra alla fine del XIII secolo agli inizi del XIV secolo probabilmente per volere del barone William de Braose, membro della famiglia Braose, che era divenuta proprietaria della signoria di Gower nel 1203. A William de Braose il castello venne confiscato da re Edoardo II nel 1320, in quanto il barone avrebbe voluto cedere l'edificio al proprio genero John de Mowbray, senza prima aver ottenuto il permesso della Corona. Nel 1321 il castello divenne comunque di proprietà della famiglia Mowbray. Sotto i Mowbray sorse attorno al castello un villaggio (che comprendeva anche una chiesa dedicata a Santa Maria), di cui non è rimasta traccia. L'edificio fu poi abbandonato, probabilmente tra la fine del XIV secolo e gli inizi del XV secolo. Nel 1650 il castello è descritto come una "fortezza in rovina", anche se apparve successivamente in un'incisione realizzata nel 1741 dai fratelli Buck con le mure pressoché intatte. Il castello di Pennard venne inserito nella lista dei monumenti britannici classificati il 3 giugno 1964. Architettura Il castello si erge nella valle del Pennard Pill, su un promontorio che domina la Three Cliffs Bay e Pennard Burrows. L'edificio è costituito da due torri ed è una sorta di imitazione in miniatura dei castelli fatti realizzare nel nord del Galles da Edoardo I d'Inghilterra. Leggende Secondo una leggenda, il proprietario del castello avrebbe negato a delle fate del posto la possibilità di danzare al suo matrimonio e queste si sarebbero vendicate facendo distruggere l'edificio da una tempesta.
