Llwybr Calan Gaeaf i'r teulu | Calan Gaeaf family trail

Mae'n amser gwych i fynd allan i'r awyr agored i ddarganfod ein llwybr gardd Calan Gaeaf i'r teulu. Roedd y niwl wedi creu golygfa eithaf arswydus yng Nghastell y Waun yr wythnos diwethaf, ond mae dyddiau hydrefol brafiach o'n blaenau!

Dilynwch y llwybr drwy'r gerddi a'r goedwig, darganfod cymeriadau a chwedlau o lên gwerin Cymru, a rhoi cynnig ar ambell i her hwyliog ar hyd y ffordd.

Ydych chi'n gallu gweld Gwrach y Goedwig neu gwblhau her Llaw Goch y Waun?

It’s a great time to get outdoors and explore our new Calan Gaeaf family garden trail. The mist made for a rather spooky scene at Chirk Castle last week, but there is brighter autumn days ahead!

Follow the trail through the gardens and woodland, discover characters and legends from Welsh folklore, and take on some fun challenges along the way.

Can you spot the Witch of the Woods or complete the Red Hand of Chirk challenge?

Lliwiau'r hydref | Autumn colour

****

Coch ar waliau'r castell, aur yn y coetir a gardd yn newid gyda'r tymhorau.

Mae'r hydref yn amser arbennig i grwydro Castell y Waun. Cewch ganfod y coed masarn coch tywyll yn yr Ardd Lwyni, crwydro heibio'r tocwaith ywen a dilyn llwybrau'r coetir dan y coed sy'n troi'n ambr, oren ac aur.

Edrychwch yn fanylach ac efallai y gwelwch beth o'r ffwng anhygoel yn ymddangos ar hyd a lled yr ystâd.

Ond nid yw lliwiau'r hydref yn para am byth. Ar ôl i'r dail fod ar eu mwyaf llachar, gall y gwynt a'r glaw ddod â'r arddangosfa i ben yn gyflym.

Pam na wnewch chi gynllunio ymweliad dros yr wythnosau nesaf a mwynhau'r lliwiau yn newid trosoch eich hun?

Dysgwch fwy a chynlluniwch eich ymweliad gan ddefnyddio'r ddolen yn y sylwadau.

Red on the castle walls, gold in the woodland and a garden changing with the seasons.

Autumn is a wonderful time to explore Chirk Castle. Discover the deep red acers in the Shrub Garden, wander past the yew topiary and follow the woodland paths beneath trees turning shades of amber, orange and gold.

Look a little closer and you might even spot some of the fascinating fungi appearing across the estate.

But autumn's colours don't last forever. Once the leaves reach their brightest, wind and rain can quickly bring the display to an end.

Why not plan a visit over the coming weeks and enjoy the changing colours for yourself?
