Eglwys Blaenpennal Church

Ailadeiladwyd Eglwys Dewi Sant, Blaenpennal, yn 1903 ar safle uwch o fewn y fynwent. Dymchwelwyd yr hen eglwys ac yn 1810 fe'i disgrifiwyd hi mwy fel ysgubor nag eglwys. Un ffenest ac un drws oedd ganddi a bu adeilad arall llwm ynghlwm wrthi. Bu Blaenpennal am ganrifoedd yn gapel anwes i Landdewi Brefi. St David's Church, Blaenpennal, formerly a chapel of ease belonging to Llanddewi Brefi, was totally rebuilt in 1903 on a much elevated spot within the graveyard. The old church was demolished and it was described in 1810 as being '...a disgrace to the mother church. It is a small tiled building with one window and one door and as there is a thatch hovel adjoining it... it resembles a barn than a place of worship!'

Llwybr wedi'i rwystro - Blaenpennal obstructed path

Llwybr cyhoeddus yn arwain o Bentrebach at Ffarm Cwmcoy. Yn anffodus, fel llawer o lwybrau eraill yn yr ardal, mae'r ffordd hon wedi'i rhwystro gan ddwy ffens. A public right of way leading from Pentrebach to Cwmcoy Ffarm. Unfortunately, like many other footpaths in the area, the way is obstructed by two fences.
