Looking down on Gwastadgoed

The settlement is spread out along the main road. This picture has two hidden drops one just in the foreground and one just behind the houses.

Track to Parth-y-gwyddwch

Gated farm track.

Derelict farm building

Important enough in the past to have its own stoned dyked lane, now the buildings stone walls are hanging on but the roof has succumbed to wind and rain.

Sheep grazing at Parth-y-gwyddwch

Looking back up the hill the house and buildings at Parth-y-gwyddwch can just be seen.

Quaker cemetery Llwyngwril.

There is Quaker history in the village, with this Quaker Burial Ground , near the beach, and also a house called Llwyn Du (black wood), which dates from 1137, but is best known as the home of Quakers during their persecution in the 1600s, prior to leaving Wales for America.

Entrance gate to the Quaker's Cemetery.

The plate on the gate reads "Friends Burial Ground 1646".

Burst Sewer pipe.

Two workmen seem a bit bemused as to what to do with this burst sewer pipe below Llwyngwril.

Cambrian Coast line at Llwyngwril

Looking towards the Mawddach estuary from the pedestrian crossing near the Quaker burial ground. From here the line heads along the cliff below Gallt Ffynnon-yr-hŷdd towards Fairbourne.

Friends burial ground, Llwyngwril

Mynwent Bryn Tallwyn burial ground. Bluebells and hawthorn in flower. In the 17th century many Quakers (members of the Religious Society of the Friends of Truth) settled here to avoid persecution elsewhere. Owen Humphrey of nearby Llwyn Du donated land for burials around 1664 (although the date wrought in the gate is 1646). When William Penn established settlements in the New World many migrated there. By 1876 there were no Quakers living locally and Wesleyans were granted the right to bury their dead here, with the western portion reserved for quaker burials.

Steep track above Llwyngwril

Looking down to the shore from a steep section of the green track above Llwyngwril. Taking a photograph is always a useful excuse to stop and catch your breath! The caravan site next to the mouth of the Afon Gwril is visible in the distance.
