Newyddion enfawr | Massive news! 🗞

(English below)

Ers mis Mai, rydym wedi bod yn croesawu ymwelwyr i'n Arboretum hyfryd bob dydd Sul.🌳 Rydym yn gwybod nad yw dyddiau Sul bob amser yn gyfleus, felly rydym nawr yn agor yr Arboretum ar ddiwrnodau eraill, trwy drefniant ymlaen llaw, i grwpiau o ddeg neu fwy! 🥳

Os ydych chi'n grŵp o ddeg neu fwy o bobl, beth am gysylltu â ni ar [email protected] a gallwn edrych ar opsiynau gyda chi? Yn amodol ar gael gwirfoddolwyr i staffio'r diwrnod i chi, byddem wrth ein bodd pe baech yn ymuno â ni. 🥰

Since May, we’ve been welcoming visitors to our beautiful Arboretum every Sunday.🌳 We know that Sundays aren’t always convenient, so we’re now opening the Arboretum on other days, by prior arrangement, to groups of ten or more! 🥳

If you are a group of ten or more people, why not get in touch with us on [email protected] and we can look at options with you? Subject to us having volunteers to staff the day for you, we’d love for you to join us. 🥰

Gyda theithiau cerdded y parcdir, ardal chwarae i blant, Caffi Ceirw a'r Arboretum, mae cymaint i'r teulu cyfan ei weld a'i wneud yng Ngelli Aur 😍

Yn ogystal â chynnal a chadw yr holl ardaloedd awyr agored, mae ein gwirfoddolwyr anhygoel yn ymdrechu'n gyson i ddatblygu'r Ystâd a chynnig profiad gwell i ymwelwyr. Dyma gipolwg o’r hyn sydd gennym ar y gweill ar gyfer y misoedd nesaf! 🔎

- Teithiau cerdded hirach trwy'r hen barc ceirw, gyda golygfeydd godidog ar draws dyffryn Tywi 🦌
- Profiad Arboretum estynedig, a fydd yn caniatáu i ymwelwyr gerdded o amgylch cefn y tŷ hefyd 🌳
- Gwella'r ffactor WAW wrth i chi yrru i mewn ar hyd y ffordd â choed leim tra’n parhau i dorri gordyfiant yn ôl 😎

Mae'r gwaith sydd angen ei wneud i alluogi hyn i ddigwydd yn dibynnu ar wirfoddolwyr. Os hoffech chi fod yn rhan o ddod â'r darn hwn o hanes Sir Gaerfyrddin yn ôl yn fyw, beth am ystyried gwirfoddoli gyda ni. Cysylltwch â [email protected] 🥰

With parkland walks, children’s play area, Caffi Ceirw and the Arboretum, there is so much for the whole family to see and do at Gelli Aur 😍

As well as maintaining all outside areas, our amazing volunteers are constantly striving to develop the Estate and offer visitors an improved visitor experience. Here’s a sneak peak at what we have planned for the coming months! 🔎

- Longer walks through the former deer park, with splendid views across the Tywi valley 🦌
- An extended Arboretum experience, which will allow visitors to walk around the back of the house too 🌳
- Improve the wow factor as you drive in along the lime tree lined driveway by continuing to cut back overgrowth 😎

The work required to make all this happen relies on volunteers. If you'd like to be a part of bringing this piece of Carmarthenshire's history back to life, why not consider volunteering with us. Just contact [email protected] 🥰
