Maes Y Mynydd
A view over the deserted settlement of Maes Y Mynydd .
A small hamlet, in the shadow of Carnedd Lleithr and Carn Perfedd,
with an old walled lane snaking towards the hidden bay of Gesail Fawr.
In the 17th century , Quakers escaping from religious intolerance,
settled in Maes-y-Mynydd and gave it the name Pennsylvania.
In the 1890's there were only 6 people left in the village.
