Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant

Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant is a 17th-century stone house located in the Wybrnant Valley in North Wales, set among rural hills and moorland. The building displays traditional Welsh architectural features with thick stone walls, small windows, and a simple layout that served a farming family for generations.

The house was built around 1600 and became connected to Bishop William Morgan, who completed the first translation of the Bible into Welsh. This link made the place historically important in the story of Welsh language and faith.

The house functions as a museum displaying furniture and religious items that reflect how its inhabitants lived and worshipped. Visitors can see the domestic spaces and understand the spiritual importance this place held in Welsh community life.

The house sits in a rural setting and is best reached on foot using local footpaths that wind through the valley. The route can be steep and muddy in wet conditions, so sturdy shoes are advisable.

Visitors from different countries have brought and left Bibles in their own languages at the house over many decades. This international collection makes the place a rare record of Christian faith traditions from around the world.
