ABERFFRAW
Today a peaceful village situated on the west bank of the river Ffraw, Aberffraw was in fact once the capital of North Wales. The village was the seat of the Princes of Gwynedd between the 9th and 13th Centuries. A Royal court or palace was constructed here for use by the Princes until Llywelyn, the last Prince, was killed in 1282. Today none of the court remains, but a Norman arch, which may be the only surviving part of the building, exists in St. Beuno’s church.

BURIALl GROUND at TRWYN DU
The headland at Trwyn Du (‘Black Point’) holds the remains of an early Bronze Age (c. 1500 BC) burial mound. This mound was built partly over the remains of an earlier temporary settlement containing a number of flint chips dating back to the Middle Stone Age (c. 7000 BC). The burial mound, or cairn, was constructed using an elaborate pattern of stones and six of the taller stones may still be seen protruding through the grass today.

St. CWYFAN'S CHURCH
Situated on a tiny island, St. Cwyfan’s church was re-built in the 12th Century. Some Norman masonry remains in the south wall, however, the main body is 14th Century. The arched, braced roof is partly 16th Century and the outer surrounding walls have been added more recently. The church may be visited at low tide and services are held, tide and weather permitting, on the first Sunday of June and August.

ABERFFRAW
Pentref dawel ar lan orllewinol afon Ffraw. Ar un adeg ystrid Aberffraw yn brif ddinas Gogledd Cymru. O’r 9fed Ganrif I’r 13eg Ganrif roedd prif eisteddle Tywysogion Gwynedd yn Aberffraw. Codwyd Llys Brenhinol ar gyfer y Tywysogion a deyrnasai yno hyd at farwolaeth Llywelyn ap Gruffydd yn 1282. Ni welir dim o olion y llys erbyn heddiw ond mae bwa o’r cyfnod Normanaidd wedi goroesi yn Eglwys Sant Beuno.

CLADDFA TRWYN DU
Gwelir olion claddfa sy’n dyddio o’r Oes Efydd gynnar (tua 1500CC) yn Nhrwyn Du. Adeiladwyd rhan o’r gladdfa ar ben gweddillion anheddfa gynharach. Yno darganfuwyd nifer o ddarnau callestr yn dyddio o Ganol Oes Y Cerrig (tua 7000CC). Adeiladwyd y gladdfa ar batrwm cywrain o gerrig a chwech o’r cerrig mwyaf hyn a welir ar y safle heddiw.

EGLWYS SANT CWYFAN
Wedi ei lleoli ar ynys fechan, cafodd Eglwys Cwyfan ei hail adeiladu yn y 12fed Ganrif. Mae rhywfaint o waith cerrig sy’n dyddio o’r cyfnod Normanaidd I’w weld yn y wal ddeheuol ond mae’r rhan fwyaf o’r adeiladwaith presennol yn dyddio o’r 14eg Ganrif. Mae rhan o’r to bwaog yn dyddio o’r 16eg Ganrif ac ychwanegwyd y waliau allanol yn ddiweddarach. Gellir ymweld â’r eglwys ar lanw isel as os yw’r llanw a’r tywydd yn caniatau cynhelir gwasanaethau yno yn flynyddol ar y Sul cyntaf ym Mehefin ac Awst.
