Brief description
"The home reflects a period of social, cultural and agricultural history at the turn of the 20th century. Hedd Wyn's life and death are representative of an entire generation of young men from Wales, Britain and Europe, who gave the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War.
We focus on the following themes to enhance the visitor experience and understanding:
The life and poetic legacy of Hedd Wyn
The First World War and its context
The bardic tradition and the Welsh language and culture
The social history of rural Wales at the turn of the C20
Agricultural heritage and sustainable land use."

Directions
"Yr Ysgwrn is located a mile to the east of Trawsfynydd off the A470. When travelling north, turn to your right directly opposite the first turning into Trawsfynydd and continue for about a mile before reaching Yr Ysgwrn's sign. Be wary of farm traffic and oncoming vehicles. You might have to use the passing places along the lane. Go through the gate for approximately 300m until you reach the car park on your left." https://www.yrysgwrn.com/visiting/how-to-find-us
