In 1800, aged 18, Mari Jones walked barefoot from Llanfihangel y Pennant to Bala to buy a Bible, which had been translated into Welsh, from the Rev Thomas Charles. This inspired Thomas Charles to form the Bible Society in 1804. Mari would have passed through Brithdir on her 28 mile walk. Brithdir is also on the Cross Britain Way.
