Penrhyndeudraeth
Penrhyndeudraeth is a town as well as community in the Welsh region of Gwynedd. The community is close to the mouth of the River Dwyryd on the A487 nearly 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) eastern of Porthmadog, and had a population of 2,150 at the 2011 census, increased from 2,031 in 2001. The neighborhood includes Minffordd as well as Portmeirion. According to the 2011 Census, Penrhyndeudraeth is the 19th most Welsh-speaking community in Wales, with around 76% of the its locals aged three years or older mentioning that they might talk Welsh. According to the most recent Estyn assessment record of the town's primary school, Ysgol Cefn Coch, 79% of students come from houses where Welsh is spoken. In an incident in June 2011, with brand-new English proprietors of the Royal Oak club in Penrhyndeudraeth, clients left the club in anger and were threatened with an airgun after being informed to quit purchasing their drinks in Welsh. The bar consequently had a modification of management. The Penrhyndeudraeth Children and Youngster's Chaired Eisteddfod is held every year at the Memorial Hall. The town is residence to the Snowdonia National Park Authority headquarters. There are lots of language traces of Old Welsh to be discovered in the place names in the Penrhyndeudraeth location, such as "Pont Briwet/ Briwet Bridge (Briwet is cognate with the Breton word "Brued" suggesting bridge). Remains of old huts can be found near Ty 'n y Berllan, which go back to the Bronze Age. Penrhyndeudraeth's Alun 'Sbardun' Huws composed a tune, Strydoedd Aberstalwm (around "streets of long ago"), in tribute to the town. His well-known band Y Tebot Piws also recorded their farewell cd at Penrhyndeudraeth Memorial Hall in 2011.
