Former Youth Hostel at Maeshafn
This unusual building was the first purpose-built youth hostel in the country (indeed there were very few purpose-built hostels). Known as the Holt Hostel in honour of the Holt shipping family of Liverpool who funded its construction. The building was designed by the architect Clough Williams-Ellis (1883-1978) who also designed Portmeirion village. Grade 2 listed on account of its historical and architectural interest.
In early years a popular weekend hostel as it was within easy cycling distance of Merseyside. Latterly, as hostellers acquired cars and could readily get to Snowdonia for weekends, the usage of the hostel declined. I spent a week here as volunteer warden in 1997 towards the end of its existence as a hostel. It closed permanently in the winter of 2004/5.
Now privately owned and has undergone substantial refurbishment. Compare with Image

Hawthorn Trees on Moel Findeg
Moel Findeg is a Local Nature Reserve. Moel Findeg was acquired by Denbighshire County Council in 1999, with the help of a Heritage Lottery Fund grant and support of the Countryside Council for Wales. Local people, through the Friends of Moel Findeg Charitable Trust, also provided significant help to bring the site into public ownership and to save the mountain from being quarried.
