Around 1902 my great grandparents moved to live in a very remote house called Cefn cam , situated high up on the mountain range above Ganllwyd, This move was a long journey, made with an overnight stop at a farm called Ffridd-bryn-Coch (on the Ganllwyd to Traws road), then a long walk over the hills above to Cefn cam itself.

Cefn cam is in ruins though all the walls are standing. It is incredibly remote and it was from here that my great Auntie walked down the mountain side to attend school in Ganllwyd. The journey being so long that they stayed down in the village at a house called Isfryn Monday to Thursday. They then walked all the way back home to Cefn cam on Friday

Ganllwyd Village Hall one of Wales’s few remaining mission halls, a classic example of the ‘tin/sinc’ small buildings of Wales. Community Halls are so much more than bricks and mortar – or in this case tin and zinc! They are the focus of towns and villages across Wales and encourage and continue the community spirit

The mountain footpath from Hafod-y-Fedw down to LLanelltyd is known as the “Monks Way”. In the 11th Century the Monks of Cymmer Abbey had a summer dwelling at or near Dolmelynllyn and it is known that they grew vines. Did they, I often wonder, walk the Monks Way along the mountain side to Hafod-y-Fedw? It is very probable. I wonder if they found the spring and built some sort of building exactly where Hafod-y-Fedw stands today?
