Castell Deudraeth

Castell Deudraeth is a former manor house approximately 0.5 km NE of Portmeirion in Gwynedd, North Wales. History The name is taken from a former late 12th century castle, now lost. The current house, which possibly dates from the 18th century, was enlarged in the 19th century to be a sizable manor house. At this stage it was known as Bron Eryn. In 1841 it was bought by David Williams, who enlarged and castellated it in the 1840s and 1850s. He also renamed it Castell Deudraeth. Sir Clough Williams-Ellis bought the house and its parkland from the trustees of his uncle-in-law, Sir Osmond Williams, who died in 1931. He had planned to incorporate the house into Portmeirion village, as extra accommodation for hotel guests, but this was not achieved in his lifetime. It was not until 2001, after the Portmeirion Foundation had undertaken a major restoration programme, that the house was reopened. See also List of buildings and structures in Portmeirion References
Castell Nadolig

Castell Nadolig ('Christmas Castle') is an Iron Age hillfort, about 2.5 miles (4 km) east of the village of Aberporth and about 1 mile (2 km) south of the village of Penbryn, in Ceredigion, Wales. It is a scheduled monument. The Penbryn Spoons, of the late Iron Age, were found here. Description The fort, sited on a low summit, is next to the A487 road to the south, which here may be the course of an ancient ridgeway. There are two concentric banks, the outer defence measuring about 230 metres (750 ft) west–east by 185 metres (607 ft) north–south, enclosing 3.8 hectares (9.4 acres), and the inner defence measuring about 130 metres (430 ft) by 78 metres (256 ft), enclosing 0.84 hectares (2.1 acres). There is a wide space of about 60 metres (200 ft) between the banks; this is thought to have aided the defence of the site, which is not in a strong position. The space between may have also served for penning the stock. The surviving ramparts are 2–3 metres (6 ft 7 in – 9 ft 10 in) high and 7–10 metres (23–33 ft) wide at the base, now forming parts of hedgebanks. There are crossbanks between the concentric defences, built in more recent times to create fields. By the inner rampart on the south-west side, a pool of water marks a prominent rock-cut spring, and there are other springs in nearby fields; these may have influenced the choice of the site. The hillfort's name is first attributed as 'Kastell Yn Dolig' in a 1571/2 manuscript, and later in 1594 is recorded as ‘Castell Nadolig’, although why this title was chosen for the site is currently not known. Penbryn Spoons In 1829, two objects of cast bronze were found by a tenant farmer beneath a heap of stones in the hillfort. Known as the "Penbryn Spoons", they were donated in 1836, by the Rev. Henry Jenkins, to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. From the decoration on the short handles, it is thought that they date from 50 BC to AD 100. One of the spoons has a small hole on one side, and the bowl of the other has an incised cross that divides it into four areas. It is thought that they may have been used for foretelling the future, liquid being poured from the spoon with the hole onto the other spoon. About 25 spoons like these have been found, usually in pairs, in Britain, Ireland and northern France. See also Hillforts in Britain List of Scheduled prehistoric Monuments in Ceredigion References
Cefn Carnedd

Cefn Carnedd is an Iron Age hillfort, about 1.5 miles (2 km) south-west of Caersws, in Powys, Wales. It is a scheduled monument. It is on a hill overlooking the River Severn to the east, and Afon Cerist and Afon Trannon to the north; there is a river confluence to the north-east, between the fort and Caersws. Description The fort is about 437 metres (1,434 ft) by 84 metres (276 ft) orientated north-east to south-west, aligned with the shape of the hill; it encloses an area of about 6 hectares (15 acres). There are triple banks and ditches on the north-west side, and there are entrances in the north-east and south-west. In an early phase, there was a smaller fort of 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres) at the south-west end, traces of the north-east rampart of this being visible in aerial photographs. There is a straight bank and ditch across the interior, which was built at a late stage. History It is thought that the fort may have been a stronghold of the Ordovices, and it is one of the locations suggested as the site of Caratacus' last battle in AD 51, when he was defeated by the Romans.

Tregrug Castle

Tregrug Castle (walisisk: Castell Tregrug) eller Llangibby Castle er ruinen af en middelalderborg i Monmouthshire, Wales, omkring 1,5 km nord for landsbyen Llangybi, tæt ved bosættelsen Tregrug. Borgen synes at erstattet en tidligere normannisk motte-and-bailey, der først bliver nævnt i optegnelser fra 1262. Den ligger på toppn af en højderyg. Arkæologiske udgravniger tyder på at den har været opført som et jagtslot frem for et forsvarsværk. Den var gået i forfald i 1500-tallet, men uner den engelske borgerkrig blev den genbefæstet og der var garnison på Tregrug Castle. Den blev ødelagti slutningen af krigen. I dag er en stor del af mure bevaret. Den måler omkring 164 x 78 m, og er omgivet af voldgrave. Størrelsen på det omsluttede område gør den til en af de største i England og Wales, som kun er omgivet af én mur.

St Teilo's Church, Llandeilo Tal-y-bont

St Teilo's Church is a historic building originally located at Llandeilo Tal-y-Bont near Pontarddulais and now reconstructed at St Fagans National History Museum in Cardiff, Wales. History The church is thought to have been built in the 12th or 13th century. It was used regularly until 1850, subsequently used only for a few services during the summer months. As recently as the early 20th century, coracles were used by worshippers to reach the church in its location beside the River Loughor. It went out of use in 1970 and began to be demolished in 1984 in readiness for the move to St Fagans. Prior to the removal of the church, wall paintings were discovered showing through in places beneath the plaster. When the church began to be dismantled, the paintings were first removed and preserved; the oldest of them was a mural of St Catherine, believed to date from the 15th century. Reconstruction It was rebuilt and redecorated as it would have appeared in about 1530. The new roof timbers were sourced from Northeast Wales and a new rood screen and a loft were carved from Radnorshire oak by the project's head carpenter, Ray Smith MBE. The missing sections of the wall paintings were reconstructed from what was left. Around one-third of the paintings now displayed are reconstructions of those discovered under the wall-plaster, the originals having been preserved and held by the National Museum of Wales. The remainder were devised by experts, based on paintings known from other churches. One of the original paintings represented the Holy Trinity, with God the Father seated in majesty behind a crucifix. The head of the king is believed to be modelled on King Henry VIII of England, a theory supported by a representation on the opposite wall of Henry's seal. The church was the 41st building to be opened to the public at the museum. It was officially reopened by the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, in 2007.

Gellimanwydd Chapel

Gellimanwydd Chapel, also known as the Christian Temple, is an Independent (Congregationalist) chapel in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Services at Gellimanwydd are conducted in the Welsh language. The chapel was founded in the eighteenth century and is the oldest of the town's chapels. The name "Christian Temple" was adopted in the 1870s by a minister convinced that the Welsh language would die out; it is taken from an inscription on the chapel's facade. The most notable of the chapel's former ministers was David Tegfan Davies (1883-1968), who ministered there for 50 years. The politician Jim Griffiths and his wife are buried at Gellimanwydd.

Hen Gaer

Hen Gaer is an Iron Age hillfort, on a hill adjacent to and east of Bow Street, Ceredigion, Wales. Other names of the hillfort are Broncastellan and Caer Shon. Description Hen Gaer ("Old Castle") is smaller than a typical tribal fortification. It is strongly defended; the single rampart is about 12 metres (39 ft) wide and 3–4 metres (10–13 ft) above the interior, with a rock-cut external ditch. On the north-east side, carefully laid stone blocks of the original rampart wall can be seen. The main entrance is on the west side. There is a circular mound outside the entrance: it is not an earlier barrow, but may be a defensive feature. The enclosed area includes some of the southern hillslope; it is thought this may have been to make the fortification visible from the narrow valley below, at the confluence of Afon Stewi and Nant Seilo forming Afon Clarach.

Llyn Bochlwyd

Llyn Bochlwyd (Welsh pronunciation: [ɬɨ̞n bɔχluːɨ̯d, ɬɪn bɔχlʊi̯d]) is a lake in Snowdonia, Wales, in Conwy County Borough. It lies in Cwm Bochlwyd, near Llyn Ogwen in the Glyderau mountain range. Name and controversy The name translates as "Lake of the Greycheek". According to a local legend, this is where an old grey stag, fleeing a hunter, miraculously escaped by leaping from a great height into the lake and swimming to safety while holding its grey cheeks above the surface, in order to breathe. In some English-language guidebooks and websites, the lake is referred to as "Lake Australia", as the shape of the lake when viewed from above is said to resemble the map of Australia. The adoption of a new English name in favour of the traditional Welsh name has been criticised as linguistic discrimination. In 2018 the broadcaster Tudur Owen cited the name change as an example of "erasing history". The name change has also been referenced in the debate around preserving historic place-names in law. In 2020, the Plaid Cymru Shadow Minister for Culture and the Welsh Language, Siân Gwenllian, mentioned the lake when raising the possibility of a new bill to preserve Welsh place-names. In 2023 the Eryri National Park Authority voted to use a standardised list of names for its lakes, all of which are in Welsh only.

Llyn Bodgylched

Llyn Bodgylched is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (or SSSI) in Anglesey, North Wales, to the west of Beaumaris. It has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest since January 1968 in an attempt to protect its fragile biological elements, mainly a swamp. The site has an area of 16.37 hectares and is managed by Natural Resources Wales. Description Llyn Bodgylched has been designated as a SSSI for its biological interest. The lake is partially impounded by an embankment along its western shoreline and a dam at its southern end. The lake is set in a shallow basin in Precambrian rock of the Mona complex which has been overlain by boulder clay and there are alluvial deposits along the western shore. Flora and fauna The lake is dominated by tall fen vegetation, especially common reed, although in some areas bottle sedge bogbean, Yellow flag iris and greater pond sedge are locally dominant and there are patches of common club-rush, reed canary-grass, reedmace and greater tussock-sedge. Species which are uncommon on the island or in northern Wales include Lesser water-plantain, greater spearwort and lesser tussock-sedge occur locally within the fen. The parts of the site which are dominated by purple moor-grass host a diverse flora including petty whin and large populations of saw-wort. Where lime-rich springs emerge, blunt-flowered rush is common and grass of Parnassus and marsh helleborine are found alongside it. It is one of only three sites on Anglesey where the short-spiked bladder sedge had been recorded according to Hugh Davies 1813 book in the island's botany, however, this species has since been shown to be more widespread. The breeding bird community is of particular importance including such species as mute swan, tufted duck, shoveler, teal, water rail and reed warbler which regularly breed. Over wintering wildfowl occur in small numbers and this site is locally important for shoveler. A small flock of the nominate European subspecies of the greater white-fronted goose is of interest, occurring here well away from the major wintering distribution in southern Britain. The swamp has a roost of common starling while whooper swan and goosander also winter here and rarer visitors have included Cetti's warbler and bittern.

Patti Pavilion

The Patti Pavilion is a venue for the performing arts in Swansea, Wales, located at Victoria Park to the south west of Swansea City Centre. The theatre stages plays, pantomimes, musical shows and fairs. History The venue is named after Adelina Patti, the great 19th-century opera soprano. The building was originally used as a winter garden at Patti's Craig-y-Nos estate. In its original function and design the pavilion had a glass roof. Patti donated the building to the city (then town) of Swansea in 1918 and it was relocated to Victoria Park. It is a Grade II listed building. In 1994, it was given a superficial makeover by the BBC's Challenge Anneka. Already falling into disrepair, the building was further damaged by a suspected arson attack in 2006 The pavilion underwent a major £3m overhaul in 2009 after it became clear that it was not being utilised to its full potential. The project was funded by the City & County of Swansea. Work began in late 2007 to extend the Patti Pavilion with a new glass covered wing housing an Indian restaurant; Patti Raj, which has subsequently been rebranded as Adelinas Bar and Indian Kitchen. Rock bands that have played at the Patti Pavilion include Jefferson Starship, Man, Spider, Mountain (with Leslie West and Corky Laing), Hayseed Dixie and Scouting for Girls. Other bands that have played the venue include: Phil Campbell and the Bastard sons, Quireboys, Discharge, Big Country, Massive Wagons, Fozzy, Goldie Looking chain, FM and Reef References External links Patti Pavilion Website BBC South West An extract from Richard Porch's book Swansea: History You Can See, about the Patti Pavilion Children's attraction set for Patti Pavilion, August 2007 Patti Pavilion in Swansea address and street map

Porth Neigwl

Porth Neigwl, also known in English as Hell's Mouth, is a broad bay, about 3 miles (5 km) wide, on the south coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. The bay faces south-west and lies between the headlands of Mynydd Rhiw to the west and Mynydd Cilan to the east. These craggy headlands have cliffs descending to the sea, and Porth Neigwl is said to be like a broad open mouth in the relief of south Llŷn. The long, straight beach stretches for about 4 miles (7 km) between the two headlands. Behind the beach are grassy dunes which form a notable sea-marsh. The River Soch briefly runs parallel to the shore before turning inland near Llanengan (the only nearby village) towards Abersoch. The bay is considered one of the most popular surf spots in Wales, with strong rip currents, shifting sandbars, and waves best suited to intermediate and advanced surfers. There is a campground at Tai-morfa near Llanengan. The big waves make it a popular resort for surfing and sailboarding. The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. References

Det blev opført i 1400-tallet, og det er det ene af de to historiske købmandshuse, som er bevaret i byen (det andet er Plas Mawr). Det er en listed building af første grad. Det drives af National Trust. Dendrokronologiske undersøgelser viser, at det sandsynligvis blev opført 1417-1420. Se også Conwy Castle Mindste hus i Storbritannien Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Aberconwy House

Aberconwy House, 2 Castle Street, Conwy, Wales is a medieval merchant's house and one of the oldest dateable houses in Wales. Constructed in the 15th century it is, along with Plas Mawr, one of the two surviving merchant's houses within the town. Its historical and architectural importance is reflected in its status as a Grade I listed building. The house is administered by the National Trust. History Following the Conquest of Wales by Edward I in the late 13th century, Conwy, with its castle and walls, became an important strategic and commercial centre. The town was granted a Royal charter in 1284 and English settlers, particularly from the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire, were encouraged to populate the new borough. Aberconwy House is a rare survivor of a number of such houses-cum-warehouses built by English merchants trading on the Welsh Marches in the medieval period. The town planner and architect, John B. Hilling, in his 2018 study, The Architecture of Wales: from the first to the twenty-first century, describes it as the "sole survivor of [such] houses built in Edward I's Welsh 'new-towns'". Tree-ring analysis of the roof timbers shows that the trees were felled c. 1417–1420. This dating makes it one of the oldest dateable houses in Wales and its importance was recognised in 1950 when it was designated a Grade I listed building. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the house served as a temperance hotel and, following closure and other subsequent uses, it was left to the National Trust in 1934. The Trust undertook an extensive restoration in 1976 and the house is now run as a museum. Architecture and description The house is of two upper storeys, over a cellar. The top floor is jettied, with the overhanging structure supported on corbel stones, "a mark of prosperity". The building is constructed around a timber frame which shows a Kentish or Wealden influence. Notes References Ashbee, Jeremy A. (2007). Conwy Castle. Cardiff: Cadw. ISBN 978-1-85760-259-3.
