Text: The original name of the settlement now known as Abergwyngregyn, village on the north coast of Wales, was Aber Garth Celyn.
Garth Celyn is a raised promontory of land, an ancient watch place on the fringe of Eryri / Snowdonia, the mountainous region of north-west Wales. It overlooks the Irish Sea and has wide sweeping views across the Menai Strait to the island of Môn / Anglesey and beyond. It is a place of great antiquity, with Neolithic, Roman and medieval remains under its soil.
In the sixth century, according to local tradition, Prince Celyn ap Caw had his home on the promontory; Celyn's name has survived on the landscape down the centuries to today.
About the year 1200, Prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth also made his home on Garth Celyn. To the east of the Llys (Palace) was the newly endowed Cistercian Monastery of Aberconwy; to the west the cathedral city of Bangor. Between Garth Celyn and the shore the fertile farmland provided food for the royal family, members of the court, and the local community. The sea and the river had fish in abundance and there was wild game to be hunted in the uplands.
The village of Aber Garth Celyn on the west side of the river was a bustling, thriving place. Travellers negotiating the dangerous Lafan Sands were given food and lodging in the valley. Goods brought by sea to the Port of Llanfaes were being distributed to other points on the mainland from here. Animals were herded along this routeway to and from the mountains. Grain was carted to the mill. The community came to attend services in the church. Pilgrims from far and wide walked the trackway and paused for refreshments. Bards came to recite poetry recalling the deeds of the heros, the great defenders.
The village much later became known picturesquely as Aber Gwyn Gregyn (Estuary of the White Shells) http://www.garthcelyn.org/#garth-celyn/c16r7
