“A picturesque small stone cottage, Ty Mawr Wybrnant is the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, who was the first man to translate the whole Bible into Welsh. Located in a peaceful and secluded valley, the cottage can be reached from a little stone bridge, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The interior of the cottage has been carefully preserved in the traditional late 16th century style with an interesting display of original fixtures and fittings. The cottage now houses a rare collection of Bibles, including William Morgan’s own which dates back to 1588. The collection has grown steadily over recent years, as visitors have donated bibles in many different languages. With its two stone chimneys – one of which is decidedly crooked - tiny windows and charming wooden door, Ty Mawr Wybrnant is a unique and enchanting place. The name of the cottage itself is also interesting. Ty Mawr actually means ‘big house’, which by today’s standards, is not a particularly accurate description of the cosy cottage. Wybrnant, is the name of the valley in which the cottage nestles, and can be split into two words: ‘nant’ meaning stream, and ‘wybr’, apparently a variation on a word meaning a large flying snake, which, legend has it, once inhabited the valley. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”

“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
