A new bench

The bench on the cliff path above Carreg Bica heading north to Lochtyn has been replaced by the Welfare Committee. This bench was made locally with larch. Members of the Committee walked the bench down the hill from Lochtyn quarry to its new home. Many thanks to all involved, especially Gerry for leveling and setting the bench in place. 

The information board that was next to the bench is broken. We are looking into funding/designs for new information boards for here and to replace the old ones on the path from Lochtyn to Gwersyll yr Urdd. We hope to complete work on this project in 2026. 

The small ‘leaning’ bench that overlooks Lochtyn peninsula (below) is damaged and we will also fix this when possible. (This bench was installed by a local farmer so the Council/National Trust do not take responsibility for it.) 

Car Park Field Maintenance

The free car park field at the top of the village has had the grass cut and the orchard trees tidied up. Thanks to Committee members Gerry and Adrian for their equipment and skills.

The field is owned by the Council, but the Committee has in recent years planted a few trees, sited some benches and aimed to keep the grass cut in order that more people can benefit from it. A toilet will be installed for the summer, paid for by the Communit Council.
