Glyndyfrdwy

Once within the estate of Owain Glyndwr, this village lies on the historic and important A5 and between the Berwyn and Llantysilio mountains. A mound by the road, known as Owain Glyndwr’s Mound, was once part of an impressive earthwork fortress that was later incorporated into part of the Welsh hero’s manor house and estate. It was here, in 1400, that he declared himself to be Prince of Wales. Though it looks much older, the Parish Church of St Thomas dates only from 1858. Much more recently, Glyndyfrdwy has become known as the home of the Dutch Butterfly Man, Eos Griffiths, who is known worldwide for creating the bright and colourful ornamental butterflies that can be seen adorning homes from Scandinavia to Australia.
