Ignore the ‘Blank’ as title, a problem I am attempting to resolve as the site is still undwr cnstruction but well worth visiting for much information on 16 Medi ‘Dydd Glyndŵr Commemoration Information
Please inform one and all.

www.llwybraudyffryndyfrdwy.com For full details of walk up Caerdrewyn.
For other useful Glyndŵr Information and to request excellent Corwen/ Glyndŵr brochure contact: Corwen Library Information Centre 01490 412378
INTRODUCTION: 16 Medi ‘Dydd Glyndŵr’ is celebrated in communities throughout Wales and the world. We, however, regard the annual gathering of ‘Pobl Glyndŵr in the Gwlad Glyndŵr of Dyffryn Dyfrdwy, on and around this date, as the chief National Patriotic Festival annually held there in form of our autumn break in the north eastern march with priority visits to Llys Glyndyfrdwy, Neuadd Owain Glyndwr in pentre Glyndyfrdwy, Carrog, Ruthin and the colonial castles of the north east which were attacked by Owain Glyndŵr in September 1400. There are, also, other Glyndŵr sites in the area such as ‘Bryn Saith Marchog’ and ‘Ogof Glyndŵr’ at Llanarmon yr Ial which now has a ‘’rubbish dump’’ appearance rather than that of a ‘’Cave of Heroes’’. See photo below we recently took whilst visiting the area; pretty sad state of affairs; do go and see for yourselves and if you get a chance, complain to the owners of the land which the ‘Cave of Heroes’ is situated in.
NB: If you intend to visit the chief Gwlad Glyndŵr of Dyffryn Dyfrdwy do contact Corwen Information Service, based at Town Library, and request two excellent new brochures as follows:
1: ‘Exploring Corwen’ which has a lot of information on Owain Glyndŵr connections.
2: ‘Corwen, Three Circular Walks’ one of which is up to Caerdrewyn.
Long overdue information which now is a ‘must have material’ if visiting Corwen.

Following 16th Sept annually, we prepare a report on where Glyndŵr Day events took place and where Glyndŵr flags were seen - and we depend on all of you 'Pobl Glyndŵr out there to provide us with this info - and pics where possible. So do keep your eyes open for the flags on such places as the National Assembly of Wales, The Millennium Stadium in Caerdydd, Castles under CADW'S keeping, Council Offices and Civic centres, businesses, hotels, pubs, shops, libraries, holiday parks, farms, private houses and, of course, Glyndŵr Festivals and events...in fact, anywhere! Send us your report and pics and if you can encourage anyone or anywhere to fly the Glyndŵr flag which strongly symbolises the Glyndŵr cry for Welsh Independence, get to work on it.
