Dolwyddelan
Dolwyddelan, (Welsh language : ''the meadow of Gwyddelan'') is a village and community in Conwy county borough, north Wales, on the main A470 road between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Betws-y-Coed. The name of the village translates as "Gwyddelan's meadow", referring to the 5th or 6th century Saint Gwyddelan, after whom the parish church is named. As a community, the population of Dolwyddelan was recorded in the 2001 Census as 427, and 55.8% of those residents could speak Welsh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Report on the Welsh language )〕 The figures for the 2011 census were: population 474:Welsh speakers=50.8%.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population and percent of Welsh speakers 2011 )〕
The town's name was formerly often spelled as Dolwyddelen, especially by the railway between 1880 and 1980.〔''Bala to Llandudno'', Mitchell & Smith, Middleton Press 2010〕
==Buildings of note==
The village is particularly noted for Dolwyddelan Castle, the reputed birthplace of Prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great), though this unlikely as the main keep was not built until around 1220.〔 It has a railway station on the Conwy Valley Line. Also, of note is Elen's Castle Hotel which dates back over 300 years. Once the building was home of Baron Gwydyr and part of the Earl of Ancaster's Estate. The latter sold it to his game-keeper in the 1870s who then opened it as a coaching inn which specialised in hunting parties.
