WHAT'S AROUND THE CORNER IN MELIN-Y-COED

Above: This is the site of "Highgate", a house which once stood between Nebo Road and the road to Melin y Coed. The stones have been recycled in a nearby home. Somewhere near here stood another house, the site of which has not yet been identified - Cae Dafydd Llwyd, mentioned in old documents and early census returns. The name was corrupted over time to Gafael Lwyd, but was not lived in during the 20th century. Perhaps local records will one day reveal the location of Cae Dafydd Llwyd.


Above: Llanrwst, on lower ground than Melin y Coed, is subject to flooding from time to time.
