I've just added a page about Doluwcheogrhyd (Dolrhyd) on the Nannau site. I know there were some sad events around the 1980s, but does anyone know anything about it or have any photos (including the 'Appollo' I think it's called). I have tried getting access to take some photos, but with no luck, so if someone knows someone who could let me take some pics of the historic side of the house I would appreciate it. Thanks - https://nannau.wales/cottages-and-farms/doluwcheogrhyd-dolrhyd/

Doluwcheogrhyd (Dolrhyd) - Nannau

This house had a long association with the Vaughan family. The full meaning of this house is “Meadow Above The Ford of the Salmon”.

A short video of Llyn Cynwch, near Dolgellau in Snowdonia, Wales, followed by a Timelaps (GoPro Hyperlapse) video walking down the new Pandy Bach Walk to a quiet road above Dolgellau (past the house Pandy Bach after which the walk is named).

This new walk was opened in 2018 and follows one of the old Nannau roads. It was once one of the main carriage routes to Plas Nannau Hall and Maes y Bryner.

Taken on a GoPro Hero 7 Black at 4K on August 25th, 2019.
The Hyperlapse section is at 10x normal speed.

I am working on a page about Brigadier Charles Hilary Pritchard Vaughan for my Nannau website and I wondered if anyone had any memories of him that I could include. If you do, you can either post them on this page or DM me.

The Brigadier inherited Nannau in 1956, prior to that he was the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Independent Parachute Brigade before retiring in 1949.

When he died in 1976, the house left the direct line of Cadwgan after 850 years.

Thank you.
