Croeso i’r Dudalen Newyddion. Welcome to the News Page
Dyma lle byddwn yn gosod y newyddion a digwyddiadau yn yr ardal
This where we will put all the news about events in and around our village.
Dozens of landowners and farmers around Llandovery and the Tywi Valley are being taken to court by Green Gen Cymru to gain access to their land.
Over the last year, hundreds of local landowners have bravely prevented Green Gen’s representatives accessing their properties to carry out surveys and are either being taken to court now (April 2025) or living with the threat of legal action.
Our whole community shares the threat of having lives, businesses and the environment ruined by pylons. Our message is simple: save our landscape, our farms and our community and put the cables underground.
Please donate what you can. Thank you. Os hoffech gyfrannu, dilynwch y linc. Diolch.
Daeth pont newydd i’r ardal rhyw ddwy flynedd yn n’ol. Dyma lluniau o sut gyrhaeddodd hi i’w lle…….A new bridge arrived here about two years ago. See how the bridge arrived in its new location. Diolch Isobel for the link.

Cymeriad cefn gwlad, yn adnabyddus am mabolgampau, llwyau caru, croesi afon Tywi ar “stilts” a nifer o bethau eraill. Ond a wyddoch chi ei fod yn gallu canu hefyd? Dyma cân wrtho a recordiwyd tua 1969 ar rhaglen Linda Griffiths ar Radio Cymru – y gân ydy Cwm Nant Bai.
A rural character, known for sports, love spoons, crossing the river Tywi on “stilts” and many other things. But did you know he can sing too? Here is a song by him that was recorded around 1969 on Linda Griffiths’ programme on Radio Cymru – the song is Cwm Nant Bai (an hour and 6 minutes in).

The members of Cilycwm Church would like to say a big Thank You for the support, encouragement, and help, that you, the community, gave last year! Your help has enabled us to clear the debts, and so continue to keep an open church for everyone to enjoy……. Hoffai aelodau Eglwys Cilycwm ddiolch o galon am y gefnogaeth, anogaeth, a chymorth, y gwnaethoch chi, y gymuned, ei roi llynedd! Mae eich cymorth wedi ein galluogi i glirio’r dyledion, ac felly parhau i gadw’r Eglwys yn agored i bawb.
We will still be holding fundraising events, such as the Gymanfa Fodern, and hope you will continue supporting them…….Byddwn yn dal i gynnal digwyddiadau i godi arian, megis y Gymanfa Fodern, a gobeithio y byddwch yn parhau i’w chefnogi.
We have 2 services a month, on the second and fourth Sundays, to which everyone is welcome…….Mae gennym dau gwasanaeth pob mis, ar yr ail a’r pedwerydd Sul, ac mae croeso i bawb.
Thank you all again! …….. Diolch i pawb!
Estynnwn ein cydymdeimlad dwysaf â theulu Joan bu farw yng Nghartref Gofal Y Grange, Llanymddyfri yn 95 oed. We extend our deepest sympathy to Joan’s family who passed away in the Grange Care Home, Llandovery aged 95.
Ganwyd Joan yng Nghlynmawr yn un o bedwar o blant i Thomas a Mary Jones. Mynychodd Ysgol Cilycwm ac yr oedd yn mynd i’r ysgol ar ei cheffyl “Beto” a’i gadael mewn ystabal cyn croesi’r bont i Heol y Llongau – un o’r rhai olaf i fynd i’r ysgol ar gefn ceffyl. Joan was born in Clynmawr and was one of the 4 children of Thomas and Mary Jones. She attended Cilycwm School and used to ride to school on her pony “Beto”, leaving her in a stable before crossing the bridge into Ship Street – one of the last to go to school on horseback.
Bu’n aelod ffyddlon yng Nghapel Tynewydd ac yn organydd yno am dros 70 mlynedd. Diolchwn am ei gwasanaeth clodwiw i’r Capel ac i’r ardal. She was a faithful member of Tynewydd Chapel and played the organ for over 70 years. We are grateful for her praiseworthy service to the Chapel and to the area.
Gyda thristwch cofnodir marwolaeth Janet Price gynt o Talog, Siloh. Cydymdeimlir gyda’r teulu i gyd. Angladd dydd Mercher 12/3/2025 yn Eglwys Cilycwm.
With great sadness, we note the death of Janet Price formerly of Talog, Siloh. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. The funeral will be held on Wednesday 12/3/2025 in Cilycwm Church.
