| Llys
Euryn. Just
one mile from the Hotel, on the slopes of Bryn
Euryn, are the ruins of Llys Euryn. (shown below)
This is the site of Ednyfed
Fychan's court or manor house. Ednyfed was the
seneschal to Llywelyn the Great, who in a charter
of 1230 sanctioned the purchase of the land
between Bryn Euryn and the sea shore known as
Rhos Fynach.
When King Henry the V11,
Henry Tudor, ascended the throne his heralds
traced his ancestry to Ednyfed whose 'chiefest
house was in Creuddyn'.
The importance of the site
is now being recognised and indeed in 1998 much
work has been done to tidy the site, and protect
the ruins from further deterioration.
On Bryn Euryn itself are
the remains of an ancient Hill Fort which it has
been claimed is the 'bear's stronghold', the
fortress of Cuneglasus a 6th century tyrant.
