🛍️ 11–3 (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 estate. Here, deep in the valley, away from the noise and fumes of the passing traffic and encroaching development, you’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 – 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

☕ Coffee Shop Cupdate

Unfortunately, due to staff illness, there’ll be no hot food or sandwiches at the Coffee Shop on Thursday, 17 September. 😔

But don’t despair! We’ll still have our delicious drinks, cakes, and snacks available, including our autumn-themed beverages. ☕🍰🍂

Thanks for your understanding.

Suits you, sir! 👖

Before we turn to Vinted, does anyone happen to have a Victorian-style suit, similar to the one modelled here by Victorian style icon John Dillwyn Llewelyn, that they’d be happy to donate to us for an exciting project? Ideally including a frock coat, in dark colours and wool or a wool-like fabric.

It wouldn’t be returned in the same state, so it would definitely need to be a generous gift 😆

____________________

Yn siwtio chi, syr! 👖

Cyn i ni droi at Vinted, oes gan unrhyw un efallai siwt yn null y cyfnod Fictoraidd, fel yr un a fodelwyd yma gan eicon steil Fictoraidd, John Dillwyn Llewelyn, y byddent yn hapus i’w rhoi i ni ar gyfer prosiect cyffrous? Yn ddelfrydol, gyda chot ffroc, mewn lliwiau tywyll ac wedi’i gwneud o wlân neu ffabrig tebyg.

Fydd hi ddim yn cael ei dychwelyd yn yr un cyflwr, felly byddai angen iddi fod yn anrheg hael iawn 😆

Spore Bomb! 🍄 💣💥

The Common Earthball fungus releases its spores when disturbed or compressed. They’re then carried away by the wind to help it reproduce.

Its scientific name is Scleroderma citrinum. Scleroderma means “hard skin”, which is a pretty good description!
____________________

Bom Spôr! 🍄 💣💥

Mae’r ffwng Pelen y Ddaear Gyffredin yn rhyddhau ei sborau pan fydd rhywbeth yn tarfu arno neu’n ei gywasgu. Yna, mae’r gwynt yn cario’r sborau i ffwrdd i helpu’r ffwng i atgynhyrchu.

Ei enw gwyddonol yw Scleroderma citrinum. Mae Scleroderma yn golygu “croen caled”, sy’n ddisgrifiad eithaf da!
