The site is very important in the history of the Welsh language, as Bishop William Morgan once lived here. Morgan translated the Bible into Welsh, and in the process produced a standardised version of Welsh and guaranteed the survival of the language. The buildings indicate how people once lived here without modern comforts, and house an impressive collection of Bibles in nearly 100 languages. Don&#8217;t miss the opportunity of chatting with the warden.<br \/>\nIn former times the region was much less isolated, as a major drover&#8217;s road went through the valley (think mediaeval M4).<br \/>\nSurrounding the property are opportunities for woodland walks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning for Satnav and Google Map users<\/strong>:<br \/>\nThe National Trust direction to approach via the village of Permachno (A5\/B4406) should be treated as an instruction, not a suggestion! This route is single-track, steep, narrow and twisty, but at least it&#8217;s a road, and leads to the car park 500 yards above the house. The alternatives are farm and forest tracks &#8211; you can get a road car through, but when you find what they&#8217;re like &#8211; gated, overgrown, and no passing places &#8211; you&#8217;ll soon wish you hadn&#8217;t started.  <strong>Do not<\/strong> approach via a turning off the A470.<br \/>\nYou can walk from Pont-y-Pant railway station, (2.5 miles) but be aware that this is a bog-and-mountain trek, not a nice stroll. You should take hiking boots, OS map, and compass as there is no obvious trail. <\/p>\n<p>(Don&#8217;t complain about the bilingual road-signs when visiting Wales: the Welsh-speakers are very fond of them and would be quite happy to have them monolingual &#8211; in Welsh! The rebels used to drive around at night covering English-only signs in green paint&#8230;)<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1370\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1370\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Wybrnant7059.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Wybrnant7059-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"House, cottage and barn\" title=\"Wybrnant\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1370\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1370\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">House, cottage and barn<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Trust Ty Mawr Wybranat is a traditional stone-built upland farmhouse, set in the heart of the beautiful Conwy valley.
