Rhosgadfan

It is notable as the birthplace of Kate Roberts, one of the greatest Welsh-language writers of the 20th century; her childhood home is now a museum (see below).

The view is of Anglesey, Yr Eifl and by walking around you can reach common land called Comin Uwch Gwyrfai and Y Lon Wen.

The closest mountain is Moel Tryfan [1] and people from the school walk up often to collect money for educational things.

During March and April 2010 filming of SNOWDONIA 1890, a new television series to be shown on BBC1 Wales in the autumn of 2010, took place at various locations in the area.

A Welsh medium primary school, Ysgol Gynradd Rhosgadfan, serves the village and the local rural community.

Cae'r Gors - the Kate Roberts Heritage Centre, Rhosgadfan. In 1965 Roberts bought Cae'r Gors and presented it to the nation, but at the time there was not enough money to restore it. [ 5 ] It was not restored until 2005, after a long campaign to raise the money. It is now in the care of Cadw as a museum presentation of Roberts. [ 6 ]
