Introducing North Wales

The northwest of Wales is a land of mountains, seashores, forests, lakes and farmland – and sheep are everywhere.  This is a stronghold of the Welsh language. The Isle of Anglesey, or Ynys Môn, has rich marine habitats and birdlife, and remarkable archaeological sites dating back to prehistory.

These books, written chiefly for adults, uncover this rich past and celebrate the various landscapes. They also seek to present everyday North Wales life as it really is today, aiming to engage the interest of those living here as well as visitors.

Darlunio Cymru fel y mae hi – dyna fwriad y llyfrau sydd ar y tudalen hon. Mae harddwch a bywyd gwyllt Gogledd Cymru yn cael ei ddisgrifio, hefyd hanes cyfareddol Ynys Môn o’r cynfyd tan y ganrif ddiwethaf. Ond dyma hefyd bortreadau o Sir Fôn gyfoes, ei phoblogaeth, iaith a gwaith. Mae Môn Mam Cymru wedi cael ei gydnabod fel llyfr defnyddiol, cynhwysfawr ac unigryw.
