Penyberth, Historic farmhouse site in Penrhos, Wales
Penyberth is a historic farmhouse site located on the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales, now marked by a stone memorial. The location later served as an RAF training facility and subsequently as a military installation.
In 1936, three Welsh nationalists set fire to the newly built RAF training facility at this location to protest military development. Their arrest and subsequent trial in London became a significant moment in Welsh political resistance.
Before its destruction, the farmhouse was a gathering place for Welsh poets and offered shelter to travelers heading toward Bardsey Island. This made it a valued hub for local literary and spiritual life.
The memorial site lies a few miles west of Pwllheli and is reachable via local roads through the countryside. The location is accessible to most visitors, though the ground can be uneven in places.
After World War II, the land became a Polish demobilization camp that housed thousands of soldiers transitioning to civilian life. This unexpected chapter connects Welsh history with broader European post-war developments in a surprising way.
