Good morning, Borre da (well, it's still morning here
)
I have been playing with these maps for an hour! This is wonderful, I never would have found these places without your incredible help. I'm still reeling from having come across the photo of the ruin in the first place! There are many more boxes of slides to go through, and I may find more pictures of it.
I'm not 100% certain that this house was Beudy Bach, or even Penrhyn. My great-grandfather was actully living at Penrhyn at the time of his marriage. But, I do recall Auntie Catherine (actually my grandmother's cousin) saying this was the ruin of a house my great-grandfather had lived in. At the time, I was about 10 or 12 and much more interested in climbing on the rockpile.
So it seems to me you could get to this house from the main road, or by going up past the castle. I'm surprised it's so close to the village, and to Roman Bridge. I guess everything in my memory is stretched out. I do remember driving along a lot of Forestry roads.
I'd love to take another trip and find these places once again. It's true what they say about hiraeth...even if you've only been there once, you still want to go back.
Many, many thanks for all your help. And for brightening up my picture, WelshGen, it looks much better.
Cheers,
China
