Memories of Clwyd
Careg Daffydd
My grandparents, Harrry amd Amelia Fieding, moved to Marli from Rhyl where Harry built boats; he continued to do so at Marli between (about) 1935 and 1949. Careg Daffydd was a cottage on its own, down a track and at the edge of a wood; had no electricity; a path led down through another wood to a footbridge over the River Elwy. My brother Hugh and myself - aged between six and ten years - used to walk from the cottage to St. Asaph to shop. (There was a small Post Office in Marli itself, run by Miss Williams Post.)
I keep looking on the maps to find Careg Daffyd itself, but no luck thus far!
My Days as A Child
I used to stay with my Nain and Taid during the school holidays during the 60's and early 70's. Taid was Owen Hugh Evans who was the Game Keeper during that period. The Game Keeper's house was in a wonderful location, with woods to the rear of the house and the Bryn to the front of the house. Taid loved his job and he used to take me everywhere with him when he could. One of his main jobs was rearing baby pheasant chicks, which I used to enjoy immensly, whilst staying there. The whole area to me was a great adventure playground, I had no problems spending time on my own, in fact I used to resent going back home to Worcester, the woods, the Bryn, the river and the local council houses are still as fresh in my mind as it was then. I miss Nain and Taid, especially Taid, he was a special person who had time for anybody and was loved and respected by everyone. I... Read more
Carreg Dafydd
Concerning the earlier post by Martin Woodhouse regarding Carreg Dafydd, my brother currently lives there having moved there three years ago. If you are coming from the Marli direction you pass the school on your right and then Sinan church and road junction on your left. Just before the council houses in Glascoed you turn left on to the road to Llannefydd. The lane up to Carreg Dafydd is about 200 yrads up the road on the left. There is a small sign at the gateway.
Happy Days
First holiday away without mum and dad. Not yet eighteen and big wories about being served in The Kinmel, crikey, they served anyone!
The gang included Nick Worsley, Chris Booth, Pete Clough, Sally Taylor and many more whose names I have forgotten.
My father used to enjoy fishing off the rocks by the lifeboat station and his ashes were scattered there when he passsed away in 2004
I now go back with my own two kids and stay at The Crown And Anchor cottages by the beach.

MOELFRE - The Stoney Beach & The Lifeboat Station
Parents in the (old) Kinmel Arms, boozing over an extened lunch time - my brother and me exiled to the adjoning stoney beach where we passed the hours away crushing the softer red stones into powder or skimming the flatter stones on the water's edge. We also built "stone towers" and tried to knock them over from about 20 ft away! Every so often we were given a pineapple juice from the pub with those packets of onions/cheese & biscuits. Sometimes the peace and serenity of the place was shattered by the rocket gun from the lifeboat station on the headland. Everyone piled out of the pub - in whatever state they were - and high-tailed it over the headland to the lifeboat station, in time to see the lifeboat skate down the ramp into the sea - great excitement. In those days we were members of Red Wharf Bay Sailing Club, at Traech Bychan beach where Mum used to cook eggs and bangers for lunch on an old little... Read more
