Clocaenog

Sut i gyrraedd yno: Dilynwch y B5105 o Ruthun Yng Nghoedwig Clocaenog mae’r boblogaeth fwyaf o wiwerod coch yng Nghymru gyfan ac mae’n cynnal rhywogaethau pwysig eraill fel y Rugiar Ddu, Gweilch y Nos, Dyfrgwn a Llygod y Dŵr. Beth am dreulio amser yn ymweld â’r pentref hardd hwn a’r bywyd gwyllt lleol? Mae Eglwys Sant Foddhyd ar gyrion y pentref a harddwch yr adeilad hwn yw ei wyleidd-dra. Mae’n bosibl bod rhai rhannau o’r waliau’n deillio o’r canol oesoedd. Mae croglen hardd yno o hyd, bedyddfaen o’r 15fed ganrif, rhywfaint o wydr o’r 16eg Ganrif ac amrywiaeth o fân bethau ôl ganol oesol; gallai darn o gerflun yn y gloch lofft fod o’r 12fed ganrif. Mae hafan dawel y fynwent yn cynnwys deial haul o’r 18fed ganrif a cherrig beddau sy’n dweud eu straeon eu hunain.

Why not take time to explore this beautiful village and local wildlife? St Foddhyd's Church is located on the edge of the village, the beauty of this building is in its modesty. Some sections of the walls may go back to the medieval period. It retains a fine rood screen, a 15th century font, some 16th century glass and a range of postmedieval fittings; a fragment of sculpture built into the bellcote could be 12th century. The peaceful haven of the churchyard contains an 18th century sundial and grave memorials which tell their own stories. Among the many special features at Clocaenog Church are a 17th century candelabra and an oak screen.
