Er bod Cwm Wybrnant yn fan tawel ac anghysbell heddiw, mae’r lleoliad yn arwyddocaol iawn yn hanes a diwylliant Cymru.
Y ffermdy hwn oedd man geni’r Esgob William Morgan, y cyntaf i gyfieithu’r Beibl cyfan i Gymraeg, gan sicrhau goroesiad yr iaith.

Today the Wybrnant valley is a quiet and remote place, yet it holds great significance to the history and culture of Wales.
The farmhouse was the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, the first person to translate the whole Bible into Welsh, thus ensuring the survival of the language.

- Access from A5 only. 6 miles south of Betws-y-Coed, take B4406 to Penmachno. At the centre of the village, turn off straight past the Eagles pub on your left (ignoring immediate right turn) and continue until you reach a fork in the road. Take the right turn up into the forestry. Please note this is a narrow lane, with steep verges either side and limited passing places. Continue straight (ignoring any left or right turns in the forestry) for 2 miles until you reach Tŷ Mawr Wyrbnant.
- Parking: The main car park is free and on the left, approx. 500 yards before reaching Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant. For accessible parking (2 spaces) continue downhill past the car park, and park near the main entrance to the grounds. Please note, it is NOT possible to turn left when leaving the main car park - the turn is too tight and your vehicle will get banked / stuck and damaged. You can turn right and continue back towards the forestry where there is ample space for turning around.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
