Mapio Tryweryn

Tryweryn

Mae’n 50 mlynedd ers i Gorfforaeth Tref Lerpwl foddi cwm Tryweryn, gan suddo pentref Capel Celyn a nifer o ffermydd cyfagos. Cliciwch yma i gael yr hanes i gyd ar Wicipedia – linc

Mae’r map rhyngweithiol yma yn dangos be gafodd ei golli o dan y dŵr. (cliciwch ar y llun isod i agor y map)

It’s been 50 years since the Tryweryn valley and the village of Capel Celyn were drowned by the City Of Liverpool Corporation to create a reservoir. The full history can be read on Wikipedia – link

The interactive map below shows what was lost under the waters (click to open a full screen map)

Y Map

Mae’n bosib gweld lleoliad pentref Capel Celyn, y ffermydd a’r tir gafodd ei suddo. Eironig hefyd yw’r rhybudd “Liable to floods” sydd ar y map ger afon Tryweryn. Newidiwch y lefel trylowder i gymharu’n well y newid.

You can see the village of Capel Celyn, along with the outlying farms. Ironically, the land is marked as “Liable to flooding” – little did they know! Use the slider to change the transparency of the old map.

Data 

Daw’r data mapiau hanesyddol o wefan diddorol llyfrgell genedlaethol yr Alban.

The old map data comes from the excellent collection of the National Library Of Scotland.

Yn ôl yn Awst 2018, yn ystod y tywydd poeth, mi es i am dro i weld lefeloedd isel y gronfa. Nes i bostio ychydig o luniau ar y blog ar y pryd – Am Dro, Capel Celyn

Back in August 2018, during the heatwave, I travelled down to see the low water levels at the reservoir. I posted a few pictures on the blog – Am Dro, Capel Celyn
