We'd never come across this story before...it's a tale of love and war, commemorated in a beautiful statue by Ivor Robert-Jones and located just outside Harlech castle walls. Please take a moment to visit!

Hedd Wyn’s statue is in the centre of the lovely friendly village of Trawsfynydd and I have stopped and reflected there countless times. He was named Ellis Humphrey Evans and took the bardic name of Hedd Wyn meaning Blessed Peace; doubly sad that he should have lost his life in war. He was killed on the first day of the battle of Paschendaele in 1917 at the age of 30, but his poetry lives on. In the same year, he was posthumously awarded the Bard’s Chair at the Welsh National Eisteddfod and is renowned for his poetry.

On a recent sunny Wednesday morning, Hubby and me enjoyed a picnic in the public park/playground next to the bridge. We noticed this well-kept war memorial in the middle of the open space. Apparently, it was originally sited in the main Eldon Square before it was re-located in the 1950's to its current placement. I liked the traditional celtic cross design. There were numerous names (100?) listed on all 4 sides of local people who died as a result of World War 1 (1914-1918) and World War 2 (1939-1945). We must remember that these lists are not just statistics, but real residents. I was particularly interested in the only 2 ladies commemorated. On the front plinth (where there are no railings) I read the name of Mary Elizabeth Smith. She served in the Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps during WW1. She died in 1918 at the age of 42 at her home address (Park Lane) and is buried in the nearby cemetery....RIP. Also on the front, on the bottom right tablet, I read the name of Mary Rosamund Bennett. She served in the Auxiliary Terratorial Service during WW2. She died in 1944 at the age of 28 and is buried in Naples War Cemetery in Italy....RIP.

Having read review of the Pont Minllyn, couldn't resist taking a detour on our way out of Snowdonia to visit, the little stone bridge. Very hard to find (unless you're in the know!), its located at the entrance to the mill. A small double-arched stone bridge from the days of foot and horse back travel. Best seen from the now later footbridge next to it. You can't access the bridge - best not to try to avoid damaging it - but it really is a thing of beauty - even the wife was impressed that it had survived.
