Aberdaron


Guto Roberts – actor, writer, local historian – here records in detail the dwellings and religious and commercial buildings of Aberdaron.

A journey to the end of the Llyn peninsula, being a detailed record of the dwellings and religious and commercial premises of Aberdaron, once the last stop for pilgrims on their way to Bardsey Island where 20,000 saints were reputed to lie buried. Guto Roberts of Rhoslan, near Cricieth, an actor known and loved for his role as ‘Fo' in the 1970s BBC sitcom ‘Fo a Fe' (‘Fo' being the northern word for he/him, ‘Fe', the southern equivalent) was perhaps making a pilgrimage of his own.
