๐Ÿ›๏ธ 11โ€“3 (closed Mondays, except Bank Holidays | ar gau dydd Llun, ac eithrio Gwyliau Banc) On the northern fringe of the city of Swansea, and within sight of the M4 motorway, lies the estate of Penllergare Valley Woods. Although the names are similar, the village of Penllergaer grew up as a separate entity from the Dillwyn Llewellyn Penllergare es

tate. Here, deep in the valley, away from the noise and fumes of the passing traffic and encroaching development, youโ€™ll find the overgrown but still discernable remnants of an important historic landscape. A place where you can enjoy the sound of birds, delight in the profusion of wild flowers, discover evidence of exotic plantings and uncover for yourself the hidden features of a grand design. The romantic and picturesque Penllergare was once created for the enjoyment of its creator John Dillwyn Llewelyn โ€“ a pioneering mover in science, nature, photography and astronomy in the 19th century. After over half a century of neglect, today, it is a place that can be enjoyed and explored by everyone. It is a landscape that is gradually being revived, restored and regenerated by us all. We are proud to have achieved the following awards:

Green Flag Award 2016-19
Food Hygeine Rating: 5
TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2015 - 2019
WCVA Environmental Award 2017
Queen's Award for Voluntary Service 2016

You might remember Bob talking about his selection of supermarket carrier bags in Y Siop. A lovely customer felt that he needed an upgrade, so very kindly donated some classy gift bags for us to use for purchases! ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ˜

Efallai eich bod yn cofio Bob yn sรดn am ei gasgliad o fagiau siopa archfarchnad yn Y Siop. Roedd cwsmer caredig yn teimlo ei bod hiโ€™n hen bryd iddo gael uwchraddiad, felly rhoddodd rai bagiau anrhegion crand yn garedig iawn i ni eu defnyddio ar gyfer pryniannau! ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ˜
