East Mouse

East Mouse (Welsh: Ynys Amlwch) is an islet found off the north coast of Anglesey, Wales. It is found just a few hundred metres away from the town of Amlwch. For this reason the island is known in Welsh as Ynys Amlwch, Amlwch Island. The islet is tiny (a maximum 141 metres long by 61 metres wide) with a maximum area of only 1.5 acres (6,100 m2), and void of any significant flora and fauna. The islet is one of three similarly named islands off the north coast of Anglesey, the other two being West Mouse (Maen y Bugail) and Middle Mouse (Ynys Badrig). The island is the site of the wreck of the SS Dakota, which was built in 1874, striking the island and sinking on 9 May 1877. The 4,332-ton ship was broken into three pieces but all 218 souls on board were saved. References

Ynys Gored Goch

Ynys Gored Goch (Welsh for 'red weir island'), sometimes Ynys Gorad Goch, is a small island in the Menai Strait between Gwynedd and Anglesey in North Wales. It is situated in the stretch of the strait called the Swellies between Thomas Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge and Robert Stephenson's Britannia Bridge. The island is occupied by the main house and the converted smoke house where locally caught fish were processed. The island is private property and access is only by boat. History The earliest known document relating to the island dates from 1590 when it is listed as belonging to the Diocese of Bangor which leased it for £3 and a barrel of herrings a year as the island was used as a fishing trap and presently has the remains of two fishing weirs. The weirs are thought to have been constructed at the same time as the smoking chamber was built, around 1842, in the path of eddy currents that would take the fish into the weirs and leave them trapped as the tide retreated. After 1888 when the house was sold into private hands the whitebait (herring), business was developed, and growing tourism in the 20th century meant people would often travel to the island to taste the fish. A bell by the Anglesey shore summoned a boat to carry visitors across to enjoy a 'Gored Whitebait Tea' which comprised a pot of tea, brown bread and butter and whitebait ‘fried in a basket’, priced one shilling. Location The strong tidal flow in the Menai Strait creates small whirlpools, hence the name the "Swillies". In olden times, access by rowing boat was restricted by the tides but nowadays modern boats can access anytime. Mains water and electricity were installed in 1997. Pumping systems mean the two houses no longer flood. Due to the large tidal range of the Menai Strait the size of the island varies between 0.5 acres (0.2 ha) and 3.7 acres (1.5 ha). The tidal range of the Menai Strait is known to exceed 10 metres (33 ft) during high with spring tides which makes it appear that the buildings are on two separate islands. Occasional storm surges have even increased water levels up to 11.2 metres (37 ft). Ynys Gored Goch once had a large common tern colony. This has now reduced to approximately 10 pairs which in 2011 produced 13 chicks. The island's location makes it a popular theme in photographs of the Menai Strait and its bridges. It has also featured in television programmes such as A Great Welsh Adventure with Griff Rhys Jones (2014), Countryfile (2016) and Robson Green's Coastal Lives (2017).

Ynys Gored Goch

Ynys Gored Goch is een klein eiland in de Menai Straat, tussen Gwynedd en Anglesey in Noord-Wales. Het ligt tussen de Menai Suspension Bridge en de Britannia Bridge. Op het eiland bevindt zich een woonhuis en een omgebouwd gebouw waarin vroeger vis werd gerookt. De hevige getijdenwerking in de riviermonding zorgt voor waterhoogtes die tot 11 meter kunnen variëren. Dijken rond de bebouwing en pompen verhinderen overstroming. De grootte van het eiland wisselt sterk door het tij en varieert van 0,2 ha tot 1,5 ha. Het eiland is alleen te bereiken met een boot.
Llanthony Priory

Llanthony Priory è un'abbazia in rovina che era stata precedentemente un monastero di frati Agostiniani. Si trova nell'appartata Valle di Ewyas, nell'area delle Black Mountains, nella regione del Monmouthshire, vi si accede da una strada che da Hay-on-Wye porta a Llanthony. Quel che resta dell'abbazia è curato dal Cadw e l'entrata è libera. Dalla fondazione all'abbandono La fondazione di Llanthony va ricercata attorno all'anno 1000 quando uno dei nobili normanni che allora stavano invadendo l'Inghilterra decise, presumibilmente, di risistemare una vecchia cappella dedicata a San Davide. A lui si unirono alcune altri uomini e più tardi venne costruita una chiesa dedicata a San Giovanni Battista e consacrata nel 1108, dieci anni dopo la piccola comunità era cresciuta dando vita al primo gruppo di Canonici regolari del Galles. Nel 1135, a causa delle frequenti incursioni dei gallesi a danno dell'abbazia i monaci decisero di spostarsi in territorio inglese, presso Gloucester, dove fondarono Llanthony Secunda. La prima casa però non fu del tutto abbandonata, cinquant'anni dopo, nel 1186, Hugh de Lacy, I conte dell'Ulster (prima del 1176-dopo il 26 dicembre 1242) provvide a finanziarne il restauro e la rimessa in piedi tramite un finanziamento ottenuto dalle sue proprietà in Irlanda, tale progetto si concluse nel 1217. I nuovi edifici, che erano un misto di Architettura normanna ed Architettura gotica, vennero rimaneggiati ulteriormente attorno al 1325 e poco dopo ospitarono fra le loro mura il deposto Edoardo II d'Inghilterra poco prima della sua morte avvenuta nel 1327. Le ribellioni di Owain Glyndŵr avvenute fra la fine del Trecento e l'inizio del Quattrocento segnarono l'inizio della fine per Llanthony, nel 1481 si fuse con la seconda casa nel Gloucestershire fino al suo definitivo abbandono avvenuto nel 1538 a seguito della Dissoluzione dei monasteri in Inghilterra voluta da Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra. Gli usi successivi Llanthony rimase quindi in disuso cadendo in uno stato sempre più grave di abbandono finché, nel XVIII secolo, non venne comprata da Mark Wood, già proprietario di una lussuosa dimora nei pressi di Chepstow che la convertì, almeno parzialmente, ad uso domestico. Nel 1807 il monastero passò al poeta Walter Savage Landor che proseguì nel progetto di farne una sorta di dimora campagnola, nel XX secolo le rovine andarono quindi ad un'altra famiglia e vennero poi cedute, in gran parte, al Cadw.

Llyn Dinas

Llyn Dinas is a lake near Beddgelert, Gwynedd in north Wales. It is formed by the River Glaslyn. Llyn Dinas lies on the valley floor a few miles north of Beddgelert at an altitude of about 55 metres above sea level. It has an area of 60 acres (240,000 m2) and is fairly shallow, with the maximum depth only 10 metres. The lake offers good fishing for salmon and trout. It takes its name from the nearby Dinas Emrys, a rocky and wooded hill just downstream of the lake where the remains of both medieval and older fortifications have been found. A rock near the lake named Carreg yr Eryr (The stone of the eagle) was said in a charter of 1198 to mark the spot where the boundaries of the three cantrefs of Aberconwy, Ardudwy and Arfon met. According to Giraldus Cambrensis an eagle used to perch on it once a week, anticipating battle between the men of the three cantrefs.

Ynys y Bîg

Ynys y Bîg is a small private island in the Menai Strait attached to the island of Anglesey, in North Wales, by a wooden bridge. The bridge runs from the grounds of a private house, itself also called Ynys y Bîg, preventing any public access. Location The island lies about 1 mile north-east of the Menai Suspension Bridge and is part of the Glannau Porthaethwy Site of Special Scientific Interest and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. At mean low tide there is no water separating it from the mainland, whilst at high tide it is separate with an area of 0.7 acres. It is heavily wooded and in some years herons nest there in some numbers. Ynys y Bîg has a fish trap listed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales as part of the island. History Historically, Ynys y Bîg was a part of Thomas Williams of Llanidan's estate before it was broken up following his death with Ynys y Bîg being separated. The bridge fell into disrepair and collapsed but it was reconstructed to reconnect the island in 2019. There had been numerous applications to demolish the house on the island. Requests were made in 2019 and 2021, with the Isle of Anglesey County Council refusing planning permission on both occasions. A new application was made to demolish and rebuild the house in 2024. This was made by the owners on the grounds the house was energy inefficient and was "dated". The planning permission was granted by the council in October 2024. References

Llyn Gwynant

Llyn Gwynant is a lake in Snowdonia, Wales. Llyn Gwynant lies on the River Glaslyn, in the Nant Gwynant valley, and is about 1¼ miles (2 km) north east of Llyn Dinas; the village of Bethania lies between them. Snowdon lies 2 miles (3 km) to the north west. The lake is natural, having been formed by glacial action and is 120 acres (50 hectares) in size. It is a popular place for canoeing and kayaking with easy access from the A498 road which runs along its south bank. It was used as a filming location in the 2003 film 'Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life', and the 2022 film 'Brian and Charles'. The view towards Llyn Gwynant and Moel Hebog is one of the most photographed in Snowdonia.

Usk Reservoir

The Usk Reservoir (Welsh: Cronfa Wysg) is located in the upper Usk Valley, at 1,006 feet (307 m) above sea level, in the western part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales. The county boundary between Carmarthenshire and Powys runs through the reservoir which lies about six miles to the north of the Black Mountain escarpment. It is an important landmark for walkers on the mountain range. History Completed in 1955 by Swansea City Council, the dam is approximately 109 ft (33m) in height and 1600 ft (480m) in width. It was the first example in the UK of an earth dam with horizontal drainage blankets. The reservoir covers some 280 acres (110 ha) of land. It can be located just off the minor road between Trecastle and Llanddeusant, 7 miles (11 km) west of Sennybridge. The reservoir is now owned by Welsh Water and the surrounding forests are managed on their behalf by Natural Resources Wales. Most of the area is open to walkers and cyclists via forest tracks and other footpaths. There are several small car parks for visitors. The reservoir is stocked with freshwater fish such as trout and can be fished with an appropriate licence.

Crai Reservoir

Crai Reservoir (also known as Cray Reservoir) is a storage reservoir located in the Brecon Beacons National Park (named after the village of Crai) for the water supply to the city of Swansea in South Wales and was built between 1898 and 1908 by Swansea Corporation. The reservoir now supplies water to the towns in the valley of the River Tawe and north Swansea. The reservoir is one of several established in what is now the Brecon Beacons National Park, an area of Old Red Sandstone peaks with relatively high rainfall. The 28-metre high dam is within a wide glaciated valley and is estimated to impound some 1,007,000,000 gallons of water. The structure is believed to have been made from over 10 million bricks. Upstream of Crai Reservoir the land is largely upland moorlands or unimproved grassland with one area now given over to coniferous forestry. The impounded water quality is good and the water requires only minimal treatment before entering the water supply system. The treatment of screening, disinfection and lime dosing is carried out south of the reservoir at Nant yr Wydd. Despite the generally excellent quality of the water, there have been occasional episodes of impaired quality mostly concerned with forestry planting and the release of difficult to treat turbidity into the reservoir. On occasions when such raw water quality impairment has overwhelmed the treatment facilities, some bacteriological deterioration has been experienced in the downstream water supply system such as in 1981.

Llyn y Fan Fawr

Llyn y Fan Fawr (Welsh for 'great lake of the peak') is a natural lake in the county of Powys, Wales. It lies at the foot of Fan Brycheiniog, the highest peak of the Black Mountain (Y Mynydd Du) range within the Brecon Beacons National Park. Created as a result of glacial action, it is one of the largest glacial lakes in southern Wales. Shoreweed and quillwort are found here whilst greater water-moss occurs on boulders at the water's edge. Freshwater limpets, caddisflies and leeches are also recorded. However, as regards fish, a C17th manuscript asserts that it "hathe no fishe attaile in't nither will any fish being put into it live, but as soon as they have tasted of this water turne up their silver bellies and suddenly dey." The surface of Llyn y Fan Fawr lies at about 1815 feet or 605m above sea level. Its primary outflow is to the River Tawe. Much of the land around the lake is peaty and thus wet underfoot. The main route of the Beacons Way runs along the ridge above the lake whilst its low-level alternative wraps around the lake's eastern margin.

Llynnau Mymbyr

Die Llynnau Mymbyr [ˌɫ̩ənaɨ ˈməmbɪr] sind zwei durch einen Kanal verbundene Seen im Dyffryn Mymbyr, einem Tal im Snowdonia-Nationalpark im Nordwesten von Wales. Direkt nordöstlich schließt der Ort Capel Curig an, die Fernstraße A 4086 nach Caernarfon verläuft entlang des Nordufers. Die maximale Tiefe der Seen beträgt 10 Meter. Sie liegen in einem 1,2 Kilometer langen Trog, der durch einen Ring aus Sandstein, die so genannte Capel Curig Volcanic Formation, gebildet wird. Die vulkanischen Felsen des Moel Siabod ragen an der Südseite der Seen auf. Ein Damm in der Mitte der Seen zerschneidet den ursprünglich ungeteilten See in zwei Teile, die durch einen maximal 35 Meter breiten Kanal verbunden sind. Daher wird statt des Singulars Llyn Mymbyr die Pluralform llynnau gebraucht. Zufluss erhalten die Seen vom Nantygwryd (Nant Gwryd), dessen Quellbäche südlich des Glyder Fawr entspringen. Bei Capel Curig mündet der Nantygwryd in den Fluss Llugwy. An den Seen wurde früher geangelt und das Tauchen geübt. Heute werden durch das National Outdoor Centre im Plas y Brenin und andere lokale Institutionen Kanu­kurse durchgeführt. Weblinks
Llynnau Mymbyr

Llynnau Mymbyr are two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. The A4086 runs along their northern banks. Strictly speaking this is one lake, originally called Llyn Mymbyr, with a maximum depth of 30 feet. About 3/4 mile long in total, a delta has built up midway along the north shore, and this has to all purposes cut the lake in two - hence the plural name. The river feeding the lakes is the Nantygwryd (or Nant-y-gwryd), which has its source at Llyn Cwm-y-ffynnon, also marked on maps as the Nant Gwryd, which is a tributary of the Afon Llugwy. The two rivers join at Capel Curig. The lake was used for fly-fishing and sub-aqua courses in the 1960s and is still used today as a canoe training resource by Plas y Brenin and other local education authorities. Geographical and Geological Context The lakes lie in a depression formed by a ring of sandstone called the Capel Curig Volcanic Formation which can be vaguely seen in the panorama below which was taken from the north side. The igneous rocks of Moel Siabod can be seen behind the lakes which are linear but in the panorama appear to bend at the delta between the two.

Pont-rhyd-y-groes

Pont-rhyd-y-groes (też Pontrhydygroes, z wal. most nad brodem) – wieś w Walii w hrabstwie Ceredigion. Położona jest nad rzeką Ystwyth, w miejscu, gdzie przekraczali ją pielgrzymi zmierzający do cysterskiego klasztoru Strata Florida. W pobliżu znajdują się miejscowości Cwm Ystwyth, Pont ar Fynach oraz Ysbyty Ystwyth. Okolica była obszarem wydobycia cynku i ołowiu. Pozostałości kopalni Frongoch znajdują się około 3 km od Pont-rhyd-y-groes. Most, od którego wzięła nazwę miejscowość, został wzniesiony około 1850 roku, by umożliwić pracownikom przekroczenie wąwozu Ystwyth w drodze do kopalni. Most został prawdopodobnie zniszczony w latach 30. Obecnie istniejący powstał w 2002 roku. Przypisy
