@TheFountainneck I think the first one is like the i in ink (i in welsh usually) and the second one is like the Welsh word for egg (wŷ) like shouting “oi mate” in english. 🤣 But I’m not from that area so not sure!

Castell Coch ❤️🏰

Mae’r gwaith paent coch hanesyddol, sydd wedi’i adfer yn ofalus, bellach wedi’i ddatgelu, gan ddod â’r castell yn nes nag erioed at ei ysblander Fictoraidd gwreiddiol. ✨🎄

Cowbridge Church ⛪️

C. 13th century, probably soon after the borough’s 1254 charter. Its magnificent tower survives unchanged. The south aisle, added in 1473, was reputedly built by Lady Anne Neville, wife of the future Richard III, who granted the church a chaplaincy in 1484.

Mae'r hydref yn gweddu i gastell. Golau euraid, dail yn disgyn, cerrig sydd wedi sefyll am fil o flynyddoedd. Pa un o'n henebion yw’ch ffefryn chi yr adeg hon o'r flwyddyn?

@cadwwales Lle diddorol iawn!

#DyddLlunDirgel 🧐

Roedd y castell yn dal yn nwylo Lloegr yn 1404 pan losgwyd y tyrau’n rhuddion gan Owain Glyndŵr. Heb garsiwn i'w ddiogelu, daeth y dref yn un gyfan gwbl Gymreig unwaith eto.

Ydych chi’n gwybod pa safle yw hwn?

@cadwwales Do we get lightsabers too? 😁

The Abbey of Strata Florida. Built in 1164 on the banks of the River Teifi (and moved to its current site in 1184). Known as the "Vale of Flowers," it is the burial place of many medieval Welsh princes @cestyll info.
