Please take care on the single track road that leads up to the house. A small property in the middle of nowhere. We have come across the name William Morgan in many churches we have visited. It was nice to see where he was born. What a lovely spot, so peaceful, but the winters must have been harsh. The two guides on today were knowledgeable, friendly and eager to tell the story. Downside, no cafe or shop. They do have toilet facilities. Ideal spot to each lunch
Lovely place to visit, very quiet and peaceful at least it was when we went there. Shame the library was closed, but well worth the drive to it.
This is a beautiful place which we enjoyed visiting. It is very remote and well off the beaten track! The old family home and garden is open for viewing and there is a small museum in a nearby house, and some clean modern toilets.
Wonderful 16th century farmhouse, situated in a peaceful wooded valley. The house was the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, who translated the bible into Welsh, and is credited with saving the Welsh language. There's an exhibition room in the building opposite, charting Morgan's work, the history of the house and the conservation and restoration work being carried out to protect its future. The site is free to visit, but check the National Trust website in advance, because the house isn't always open. There's a good sized parking area, from which the path to the house leads downhill through woodland - take care as it's slippery when wet.
Small, but lovely National Trust property. The birthplace of Bishop William Morgan (1545-1604). He translated the whole Bible into Welsh, and it is said that he thus saved the Welsh language. From the free car park, there is a nice circular one-mile walk. We took a photograph of the sign in the car park to help us navigate. Site is located down some narrow and windy lanes, but follow the directions from the NT webpage, and you’ll find it fine.
