Went on a walk along the Lon Goed from Ynys to Chwilog in Gwynedd for the first time, was not dissapointed !
Mi es ar daith gerdded ar hyd y Lôn Goed o Ynys i Chwilog yng Ngwynedd am y tro cyntaf, nid oeddwn yn siomedig!
Adeiladwyd Y Lôn Goed rhwng 1817 a 1830 yn dilyn Rhyfel Napoleon yn Ewrop gan landlord Ystad y Gwynfryn, Syr Thomas Mostyn, er mwyn hwyluso mynediad i ffermydd yr ystad rhwng Afonwen a godre Mynydd y cennin bron i bum milltir i ffwrdd.
•Yr oedd yn cael ei hadnabod fel Ffordd Maughan i ddechrau ar ôl y rheolwr ystâd a fu'n gyfrifol am ei hadeiladu.
• Byddai ffermwyr yn ei defnyddio i gario calch o longau yn angori ger glan y môr Afonwen i'r ffermydd.
•Plannwyd coed derw a choed ffawydd bob yn ail hyd ochrau'r lôn oherwydd bod eu gwreiddiau yn agos at yr wyneb ac o'r herwydd yn fodd i fod yn wyneb i'r ffordd.
• Tree Lane was built between 1817 and 1830 following the Napoleonic Wars in Europe by the landlord of Gwynfryn Estate, Sir Thomas Mostyn, to facilitate access to the farms on the estate between Afonwen and Cenin Mountain nearly five miles away.
• It is also known as Maughan Road, after the estate manager who was responsible for its construction.
• Farmers would use it for transporting lime from ships anchored near the seaside at Afonwen.
• oak and beech trees were planted in alternate sides of the road because their roots are near the surface and thus serve to be the face of the road.
