The area of North Wales known as Ardudwy is
a coastal region hemmed in between the Celtic
sea and the Rhinog mountains. At the two ends
are river valleys of spectacular natural bueauty;
the Mawddach in the south and the Dwyryd in
the North. From South Ardudwy are views of Cader
Idris beyond the Mawddach. At the North end
the deep Vale of Ffestiniog seperates the Rhinogs
from the main range of the Snowdonian mountains.
Inland, beyond the Rhinogs is some of the bleakest
uplands of North Wales in the Arenigs.This narrow
fertile strip of land contains the towns of
Barmouth, Maentwrog and Harlech, together with
several smaller villages and hamlets. It enjoys
a protected climate, testified to by the mediterranean
mileau of Port Meirion in the North (across
the Dwyryd from Ynys). It is noticable that
the high arm of Cader on the one side and the
mountains of the Llyn and then Snowdonia on
the other help to funnel away the clouds, leaving
the coastal bay enjoying golden skies.
Pedantically
speaking the strip of land beyond the Rhinogs
to the main road running from Dolgellau to Maentwrog
is also part of Ardudwy, upper Ardudwy. This
includes the town of Trawsfynydd and the villages
of Gelliludan and Ganllwyd within the region.
It
is a region of outstanding beauty with a variety
of landscapes from mountain fastness, rugged
heath, luxurious farmland and beautiful beaches.
Most of the region is within the Snowdonia National
Park, with many sites of Special Scientific
Interest and a biodiversoty that is rare and
protected. The prolific lichen growth and rare
mosses testify to the purity of the air and
water.
It
also boasts an antiquity that few regions of
Britain can rival. The region between Harlech
and Barmouth was probably as densely populated
in the bronze age as any other in Britain, with
long cairns, round cairns, hill forts, hut circles,
terraces, ancient trackways and standing stones.
Some of the oldest Christian churches and grave
stones are to be found here. It is also a region
famous for its emminant visitors, and has attracted
the attention of artists like Turner and Wilson.
Edward I built Harlech Castle here, but the
town was before that the seat of Bran, a legendary
figure recorded in the Mabinogion. Cistercians
have left traces of their industry in granges
along the coast connected to Cummer abbey in
Dolgellau.
All
these original drawings are available for sale
as unframed (but mounted) drawings. A4 mounted
prints are also available for £15 each.
