Cynwyd Youth Hostel A memory of Cynwyd, Clwyd The Youth Hostel in Cynwyd was a converted watermill. It was very old and very damp and I stayed there one wet weekend in April 1967 with my girlfriend Angela Chapuis as we were heading towards Snowdon. I had a top bunk and banged my head on the low roof beams! What a wet weekend! The memory lingers as the following day we moved on from Cynwyd and stayed at Llanberis before our attempt on Snowdon. The weather was so bad that the mountain rescue teams were out forcing everybody back from the mountain so here I am forty years later and I STILL haven't been up Snowdon! Cynwyd was pleasant and our North Wales adventure is still a happy memory. Last edited: 13/03/2007 22:38 by John Howard Norfolk |

Cyril Evans A memory of Melin-Y-Wig, Clwyd Does anyone remember my father Cyril Evans, and his family. I think he left the village around the 1940s at the age of 14??? Last edited: 01/09/2008 10:19 by Philip Evans |

Childhood Memories A memory of Clawddnewydd, Clwyd I used to stay with my nain in Clawddnewidd and have very fond memories. Mrs Watson lived next door and used to pop in every night with some fruit for us. At that time there was a top shop run by Mr Lake and his wife, they were always so nice to us. We used to go to the chapel for service and my nain and a few other villagers used to pluck pheasants. My Uncle Emrys lived in Nant Farm and used to call at nain's every morning with fresh milk from the farm. We went on many walks picking rasberries for nain to make a pie but my favourite was always her ginger cake. I was told never to go to the pond at the bottom of the village as it had a whirlpool in it but of course I had to find out. Once a year there was a show and my nain always dressed up in her Welsh lady outfit. I still visit Clawdd now to go to my nain's grave, it has changed. There are more houses and top shop and bottom shop have now closed but there is a farm shop across from the cemetery where many of my relatives are buried. I love this little village and will always have my happier memories of my childhood in my heart forever. Last edited: 03/07/2008 12:11 by Jacqueline Owen |
