Penyberth, Historic farmhouse site in Penrhos, Wales

The former farmhouse location stands near the Llŷn Peninsula, marked by a stone memorial commemorating Welsh nationalist protests against military development.

In 1936, three Welsh nationalists set fire to the RAF training facility that replaced Penyberth farmhouse, leading to their arrest and subsequent trial in London.

Before its destruction, the farmhouse served as a central meeting point for Welsh poets and provided shelter to pilgrims traveling to Bardsey Island.

The memorial site lies approximately three miles west of Pwllheli, accessible via local roads with coordinates at 52.87958° latitude and -4.47688° longitude.

The land transformed from a 250-acre farm to an RAF training ground, then into a Polish demobilization camp housing 100,000 personnel after World War II.
