Dolwyddelan is on A470 which can be reached from the A5 between Betws y coed and Pentrefoelas, signposted Dolgellau. Drive into Dolwyddelan and turn left at the Village Spar Shop. St Gwyddelan’s Church is on the right hand side a short way down the road. You can park on the roadside near the church.
As with most churchyards, please take care when you walk around as the ground can be uneven. Also please try to walk around the graves rather than over them.
So why “Llewelyn the Great”?
Llywelyn ab Iorwerth was also known as Llywelyn the Great or, in Welsh, Llywelyn Fawr, one of only two Welsh rulers to bear this title, the other being his ancestor Rhodri the Great. Llywelyn was born at Dolwyddelan in 1173, the grandson of Owain Gwynnedd – need I say more!
St Gwyddelan’s Church holds many more tales and secrets of famous families from Dolwyddelan as well as a dragon! Why not pop in if you have time? The Church welcomes visitors and is open daily between 9am & 5pm. Whilst looking around, please remember that they are places of worship and contemplation, and the heritage is much valued by the local communities.
The cache is a camouflaged small round black container and it has a logbook, slate coin and pencil inside. Happy hunting!
Note: The co-ordinates were averaged out over several readings.
