From my book, "Nant Gwrtheyrn - Y Swyngyfaredd (The Enchantment)" available HERE on my website
After descending an alpine-like, steep and precipitous road into the village, you head straight towards the sea. There was a need within me to keep driving to the sea, to continue my journey to its logical end, down between these buildings and stone walls, but it is now barricaded off to allow access traffic only. To pedestrians, however, this last little stretch of lane is an important and poignant link between the mountain tops and the open sea. To pass the beautifully-faced chapel on your left, before receiving the full, but previously-hidden, view of the village centre on your right, is even now perhaps the most important part of the journey. The road is our own journey. The buildings to the left and the right are avenues or opportunities to explore and investigate. The lane, for me at least, was metaphoric.
Ar ôl ichi ddod i lawr ffordd Alpaidd, serth a phendramwnwgl i’r pentref, fe anelwch yn syth am y môr. Teimlais gymhelliad i yrru at y môr, i barhau fy nhaith hyd at ei diwedd rhesymegol, i lawr rhwng yr adeiladau a’r cloddiau cerrig hyn, ond bellach mae’r ffordd wedi’i chau i rwystro cerbyd pawb ond y neb sydd ar berwyl yno. Er hynny, i’r rhai sy’n cerdded, mae’r rhan fach olaf hon o’r lôn yn ddolen bwysig a theimladwy rhwng copaon y mynyddoedd a’r môr agored. Fe ewch heibio tu blaen hardd y capel ar eich chwith, cyn gweld golygfa lawn canol y pentref, a oedd gynt ynghudd, ar eich de; hon efallai, hyd yn oed yn awr, yw rhan bwysicaf eich taith. Y ffordd yw ein taith ein hunain. Yr adeiladau i’r chwith ac i’r dde yw rhodfeydd neu gyfleoedd i’w fforio a’u harchwilio. I mi o leiaf, symbol oedd y lôn.

ABOUT THE PRINTS:
Glyn's prints are all produced on soft-textured, archival cotton-rag paper, using archival pigment inks. The manufacturer's estimated lifespan for these prints is over 200 years when behind glass & viewed under artificial lighting.
Each print is signed & titled by the artist, and the editioned prints are obviously numbered as well. Glyn limit's his print editions to short quantities, so you are purchasing much rarer artworks than the mass-produced prints seen in furniture & home stores.
Editions range from 3 to 30 copies in the A2 & A1 size, and just 5 copies in the A0 size.
