Pantycelyn – Cartref y Pêr Ganiedydd


The Sweet Songster: 300 years after his birth, many of the nearly 1000 hymns that preacher poet William Williams (1717-1791) wrote continue to be sung. His white-washed home/farm ‘Pantycelyn’, still owned by his descendents, is here the destination of a large group of people, perhaps cultural or religious pilgrims. Another group visits the grave of politican David Lloyd George in Llanystumdwy, and there are also shots of Talley Abbey and Dolwyddelan Castle/area.
