Lôn Goed

Lôn Goed starts in the hamlet of Afon Wen, on the A497 main road about half a mile to the south of Chwilog and halfway between Criccieth and Pwllheli.

[2][1] The lane was developed for the carriage of lime, coal and peat to the farms of the Talhenbont estate, from materials landed from ships on the beach at Afon Wen.

The storm felled an 200-year-old oak tree on Lôn Goed, a piece of which donated by a local farmer to make the bardic chair for the 2023 National Eisteddfod of Wales in nearby Boduan.

The chair was made by the sculptor Stephen Faherty, who formed it by carving the entire piece of oak, instead of the usual method of cutting up and jointing the wood.

[9][10][11] Lôn Goed was the inspiration for the design of the bardic crown created by jeweller Elin Mair Roberts, which was awarded at the 2023 National Eisteddfod.
