Nantmor

Nantmor station has re-opened, following a 2007 vote in its favour by local residents. A car park run by the National Trust is a popular starting point for walks up to Cwm Bychan or along the Afon Glaslyn. The village is the home of Dafydd Nanmor, a renowned 15th century bard (died c. 1490) who took his name from the hamlet, as did Rhys Nanmor after him. Dafydd Nanmor himself was possibly a bardic student of Rhys Goch, who lived at neighbouring Hafod Garegog. Filmed in Nantmor in 1957, the Inn of the Sixth Happiness is a 1958 British 20th Century Fox film based on the true story of Gladys Aylward, a tenacious British maid, who became a missionary in China during the tumultuous years leading up to the Second World War. Carneddi, a nearby hill farm, was the home of Ruth Janette Ruck, who published a trilogy of books about her experiences in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, namely Place of Stones, Hill Farm Story and Along Came a Llama. In 1980 she featured in the HTV About Britain series in an episode called "The Lady and the Llama", which featured a year on the farm.
