- We almost didn't make this video, because the tiny village of Llangrannog in west Wales is an absolute delight. Stunning scenery, great food and some fascinating history - including the legendary Cranogwen - a feminist before her time.

Where on main stream media would you see such a professional informative and entertaining video !
Thank you, that's a lovely comment
They like their statues don't they. Great video
I like them too!
Opening shot in the Dead Centre of Llangrannog (to use one of my late Welsh grandfather's favourite dad jokes).
The scenery, the architecture, the language, the history, the legends, I love it all! Thank you
Very interesting vid, Miss HubNut! 👍🏻
Thank you
I went to Yr urdd back in the later end of the 70's. Loved the whole experience, even swimming in the pool that had no heating next to the stable block. Oh and going for a bike ride, we got half way down the little lane from the camp down to the village when a hail storm began. Our instructor told us to go back cos the hail was the size of hazelnuts and the girls starting crying with the pain of being hit with them. So many more very fond memories of a 5 day stay at the camp. I've been back several times since the last being 30 years ago. Will go back sometime, if I can organise time to do the area justice.
Ah yes Llangrannog, finished a walk there in the Pentre for a few hours waiting for a taxi back to Aberteifi! Lovely little place.
That WAS lovely. What a beautiful and charming place!
The pizza 🍕 looked delicious.
A homemade doughnut filled with ice cream would almost be worth the trip from Arkansas to Wales!
Thank you so much for taking us along.
This was awesome Carly, big respect to Ian being camera person
Do enjoy hearing you pronouncing the Welsh words/names 👍
Thank you Phil, Glad you enjoyed it. He did a great job
@@misshubnut you both do.....hope there's another MHV coming soon
@@itsmephil2255There will be - quite where we haven't decided
@@misshubnut wherever it is......will be brilliant
Thanks miss hub nut....a refreshing change from the cars.....liked the dove story...
It's a beautiful place, my favourite beach! ❤
What a lovely Wednesday treat. Thank you. 🙂
Lovely video Carly. What a beautiful village.
Tell Mr Hubnut I also have love for caramel.
My favourite place too I went there every summer holiday from 1973 to 1983. I always visit when I'm in the area.
My grandad used to take us there when holidaying in New Quay. As kids we called it fraggle rock (showing my age now). Thank you for sharing a bit of the history, very interesting.
Thank you for all these wonderful videos
I spent many happy days in Llangrannog as a child in the seventies as we often had holidays in New Quay. Llangrannog and Cwmtydu were the two beaches we most often visited. Thank you for bringing back a lot of happy memories.
Very interesting and lovely wee village.
It's so lovely!
Thank you for a jolly interesting tour. This is somewhere we've overlooked hitherto. But maybe we'll have a day out if the weather improves. I remember our son coming to the Urdd place many years ago when he was in primary school.
Let me bump this up before I watch it
Such a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing your secret. 👍
amazing video Miss Hubnut. Its wonderful to share these videos of the very scenic areas. Amazing views. Thankyou.
Really glad you enjoyed it
Been a while since you done one of your tours .
Really enjoyed this one .
Love the Welsh accent .
You two are so made for each other .
Hopefully more to come soon!
I'm with Ian on the caramel love, is he old enough to remember Golden Cup? The epitome of gorgeousness in this field, the closest today being Galaxy caramel. Costa 'millionaire's' aren't half bad either. Thanks for the vid 👍
Brilliant 🙂
My wife and I made it a point to go to places you recommended, we've just separated but I promise to continue going on my home, keep up the great work x
Thanks for another smashing video, they get better all the time 🙂👍
Thanks. We made a visit here yesterday on the back of your video. Kids enjoyed the ‘secret’ beach and pizza!
Brilliant! Utterly love this!
What a beautiful little town with a great history! Beautyful statue for a strong woman!
Ah, Llangranog. We used to have family holidays there the best part of 60 years ago. Lovely little town and wonderful beaches - we used to like the one you pointed out that you can access at low tide. Misjudged the tide a few times and had to walk over the hill to get back to the car. All part of the fun. Great to see the town thriving. Must go back and visit again.
Loving the colour co-ordination with the skirt and the hair. How very Miss Hubnut. Lol.
As always, an interesting, educational and entertaining watch. Especially as I know pretty much nothing about that area of the country. Looking forward to seeing more Miss Hubnut videos when time allows. Xxx
Why thank you. Hopefully more videos to come soon
@misshubnut no, thank you, moddom. I always enjoy learning something new. I like the style of the videos too. Like we've just dropped in to say hello and you're showing us around. Perfect. Don't change a thing. No pressure with more videos, BTW. They're worth waiting for xxx
Never knew this place existed despite living near Aberystwyth for 3 years. Some years ago in mid Wales I drove up through a forest and came to a totally unspoilt small town - haven't been able to find it since.
Thank you for sharing Miss Hubnut, much appreciated 😊👍
First class history lesson from Miss Hubnut, as always.
Love the skirt and hair combo! (Will comment again on the actual content once I’ve watched it!)
Stayed at Cwm tdu last year in my Caravan and visited Llangrannog quite a few times. Absolutely stunning. Would advise using the free car park at the top of the village as Miss Hub Nut suggests and get the Shuttle Bus down into the village.😂
Yes, I love the stories too, not only hearing them but also knowing that they have been handed down through so many generations and still survive. The beauty of the Welsh coast never ceases to evoke inspiration in me, a truly inspirational place for artists, poets, writers and creative persons. So good for the soul, and this translates beautifully, seamlessly, through your video.
Wow I have family not far from you guys so have been visiting wales from about 3 weeks old (now in my mid 30's) and I don't think I have ever been here! Thank you for all the info and history I've popped some pins on google maps for when im next in that part of the world. 🙂
Been going to Llangrannog since the late 70's, an amazing place to holiday, and still not what i would call touristy, please don't tell anyone else about it ;-)
Nice, informative video as usual.
A lot of clever and influential people came out of the Celtic/Methodist culture.
Reminds me how relaxing the sea can be no wonder so many authors are inspired by it.
Delightful. Thank you. ❤
Excellent video Miss Hubnut - full of interesting info delivered with clarity and passion!
Interesting that moves to preserve the Welsh language were happening so long ago - in the 70's my family holidayed in Wales, staying regularly at a farm in Llandeilo Graban (near Erwood, less neer to Builth Wells) - the farmer didn't speak any Welsh (despite having been born on the farm), yet his sons (now in there mid-fifties to late 40s) were learning Welsh at school.
Amazing how close the world came to Welsh dieing out!
My wife learned some Welsh when studying in Aberystwyth (and tried to teach me - the only thing I can remember is Tan Sam (Fireman Sam) as we watched some episodes on S4C in the early 90s!). She loved the alphabet so much she wanted to call our daughter Guinevere, but with the Welsh spelling Gwynhfyr - it looks so much prettier when written down!
May I be so bold as to hazard a guess that Carly is not spelt in English?
Perfect vid.thanks to all concerned !😊
What an absolute tucked away treasure! Lovely stuff. Thank you Miss Hubnut! 😊👍👍
Oh Carly what a lovely video. You are such a natural presenter. We went to llangrannog about 3 years ago for our first time later in the year. Pizza place was only eatery open. Needless to say we were not disappointed, amazing meal. Didn't go back last year as heard of parking problems but hopefully again soon. You mentioned Aberporth, my favourite place. Look forward to you doing a review on that (and maybe Crymych, where we stayed). All good wishes to you, Ian and the Hub family xx
Did Cranogwen ever sleep? That's a full life for sure. Makes me feel like a right slacker!
These videos have made me realise I've only ever seen a few bits of Wales and I've been there loads over the years, I've worked there, I've been on holiday there, my mate went to Bangor universty so I spent a lot of time there although memories of that time are sketchy...
I could have holidays in Wales every year for the rest of my life and never visit the same place twice.
A brilliant and informative video as always, another place to add to my bucket list of places to visit.
Thank you, absolutely worth a visit
Another terrific video, of such a lovely place. Miss HubNut's historical narrative, and her knowledge of the landscape and it's people is always fascinating. Thank you, a real treat of a video.
Hi Carly sorry late commenting on this as we have been away in Cornwall with no signal
It looks a wonderful place and can see why you all love it there it has such a fascinating history must visit your part of wales one day best wishes to you Ian and the family Daniel
Dragon slaying seems to have been a traditional Welsh past time back then lol, it's pretty cool though. It's amazes me how far back Welsh history goes.
As an Australian who has never been to the UK, you've made me want to visit Wales. Thank you for these awesome lessons, Miss Hubnut.
Another very interesting, and expertly presented video. Those pizzas are epic. Many thanks.
Thanks for another enjoyable video, we visited here in early May and its a lovely place, great food in Pentre, Caffi Patio and the pizza restaurant was fantastic. Its better to park at the top and walk down if you can, bus was not running when we were there. Its ok if able bodied and there are a few routes, just keep going down. A warning about the car park at the bottom, one evening we parked and the pay machine was out of action so could not use coins, there is no internet signal with some carriers and also no phone signal in the village. The wifi provided for the machine was so slow we were not able to use it so had to go into the pub to use theirs and by that time the ten minutes allowed to pay had expired and when we returned home had a bill for £100 as they use ANPR on entry. There are lots of complaints about this on line so if you are unable to pay on arrival leave the car park, I understand some local people are just as unhappy about this as visitors. Please keep making these videos when you can and have the time, we always look forward to the next one.
I am so glad you shared both the place and the stories, And if it has good pizza well that is vey tempting to visit!
Our favourite spot too but we have a large scooter so parking is less problematic. The bus driver is a volunteer so even more thanks to him. If it is busy when next we pop down I will hold you fully responsible.
Apologies. I am even more impressed to hear he is a volunteer, he was utterly loving it!
The family and I keep saying we'll go there, but still haven't managed to go there yet. We'll be back soon enough though, probably in the winter knowing us lol. Thanks for the informative video as always Mrs Hubnut :D
Just found this video some 9 months late. Great production. Llangrannog is great… in Winter when the tourists go home. The very narrow road down to the Pentre is a nightmare at peak traffic times as it has few passing places. The other issue is that it is mostly holiday homes, or at least used to be. Fairly sure that at one time this was a smugglers cove. Wasn’t Twm Sion Cati here or a very near cove?
Just subscribed. Thank you for the lovely videos 🤗🤗
Hi Miss Hubnut, It's Awesome
Greetings from Penrhiwllan, looking forward to your next video. We are new to the area and your videos have been so helpful. Did I just see your lovely car drive past my house!
You definitely did - We're very taken with West Coast Burgers in the village!
@@misshubnut love the dirty fries!
Another wonderful video of a fantastic Welsh coastal town. Thank you Miss Hubnut and please keep them coming!
I love llangranog I went there in yr3 and I agree the pizza is amazing
We were there only last week. we stay at a lovely cottage at Morfa, the nest cove south. the only thing your video lacked was 90,inutes of the larger leisure vehicles trying to get up round the hair pin bend of the road in.....
Fun to see Llangrannog again; I've not been there for years. Natually my primary school offered trips to the Urdd (I didn't go), and their Mr. Urdd mascot character was everywhere. Hope the good weather holds out for my visit home from London back to SW Wales later this month! Looking forward to hitting the coast path again.
Hey Mistar Urdd gyda'r coch, gwyn a gwyrdd...you mean you didn't get that song engraved into your brain??
Well done Miss HN, I too think Llangrannog is the No1 place to visit. I first went there in 1989 and returned so many times either camping or staying in the cottage that was owned by The Ship Inn, simply fell in love. We would go every January to enjoy a New Year break, I loved this village as much in the Winter as I did in the Summer I am ashamed to say that we did not know the story of Cranogwen, and that we haven't be back for 25 years !. Maybe Jan 24 we will meet up with a very old friend.
I've gotta say Miss Hubnut I absolutely love your video's. So much info, perfectly delivered, much better and more interesting than most TV presenters. You an Iann live such an interesting, busy life. Thank you for all the effort you both out into these video's.
Serious rhubarb and cherry slice envy here! It looks like a lovely place and one of the few places on the Welsh coast I've not visited .
Excellent video, as always. History, culture, scenery and bonus food. Yet another Welsh location to add to my ever growing "must visit" list.
Thank you for your very informative video .I had never heard of Sarah Jane Rees (Cranogwen). Women definitely had it harder in those days, so that makes her life even more remarkable.
I have never understood why women are often valued less than me or deemed less intelligent and women like Cranogwen go to show that there is absolutely no reason for men not to see them as equals.
This is fantastic.....thanks for filming this video. I've only ever been there once, on a 2 week holiday staying on the farm up at Lochtyn in 1977, which was very memorable and I've been wanting to return sometime but have never got around to it due to living far away 😃 Thanks for this inspirational video. I do enjoy watching the online live webcam from the Pentre Arms just to give me a bit of a Llangrannog fix from time to time.
Amazing video,
Wow, Miss Hubnut, you look great. What a beautiful place, no wonder Mr Hubnut wanted to keep it a secret. Great to have you back on you tube
You should be a tour guide 👍 now back in the day us lot from midlands packed our kids off to Bryntysilio, that same place? And it looks beautiful there no wonder mr nut dont wanna share 🙂
10 out of 10 for the commentary and explanation. 8 out of 10 for the camerawork. Perhaps a little too much swinging around and rapid zooming, but overall excellent. 😊
its a charming village
I have a place like that, it's Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, at the border with glacier park in Montana, there's a waterfall right in the village, and rainbow colored streams everywhere. If you told me to get lost, that's where I'd go. The view of Mount Blakiston is surreal. Cheers!
I gotta admit, the Welsh language is very interesting. like most other Welsh words and names in English, Llangrannog looks nothing like how it is spelled to me (an English speaker). We Americans don't seem to be able to pronounce Welsh names correctly. My mother was raised in a place called Cumru Township in the US state of Pennsylvania. This was named this due to a lot of folks back in the day being Welsh. It was named after the Welsh name for Wales (Cymru) but in true American fashion it was Americanized and called Cumru (Pronounced koom-roo) Township instead of Cymru (Cam-Ri ) Township. Oh well. The USA and UK, two countries divided by a common language.
another great video has always miss hubnut Ian and hublets and hubmutts 👍
Great video Carly. You are obviously getting more comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Although Llangrannog is still not very well known, there are many families from the West Midlands who have holidayed there for several generations.
There's an opportunity for you to do another video about the Lochtyn hillfort and peninsula above the village.
Wonderful video Miss HubNut. Thanks for this. So much to learn about Walesx
Well this was brilliant you are like a very well informed teacher, I've not been to Llangrannog for donkeys years but now i think we'll pay a visit in a week or two.
Fascinating video, beautiful, presentation , by Miss Hubnut. Thankyou.
Fascinating video thank you. Lovely to hear such passion in your voice about the subject.
Shhhhh don't tell everyone! 😂 I love the river going down the middle. It's a stunning place. Great video as always!
I'm sorry I just couldn't keep the secret 🙈
How absolutely beautiful! You're knowledge is absolutely incredible too - thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.
Thank you Russ in disguise 😉
Great video Miss Hub Nut. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Oh my gosh, I was already having a big lesbian moment about that statue lady’s fashion (the jacket! The glasses! The brooches!) but then you mentioned she lived with a partner called Jane until she died and that just made me sooo happy to hear. She got such a good ending!
News even reached the mysterious and mystical land some call England about the man who was challenging his parking fine because it was in English and they refused to provide a Welsh version.
The thing about calling something a secret is, more people will want to visit it, if Mr. HubNut didn't say anything, we'd have been nonethewiser... :P
This is very true!
Diolch! Somewhere i need to visit i think!
Love llangrannog
Haven't been for a while didn't know about the pizza place, sounds like a good reason to visit again soon. 😋
I love the pizza at Tafell y Tan, but i NEVER use the Ship carpark, people still get caught out there.
Well trying to keep things from us are we Ian? 😄 Another fantastic video miss hubnut so informative and interesting 👍
😀
Also are you going to do a video on the legend of the giant Sea snail at Cwmtydu? If you don't already know it ask the guy in the coffee shop there.
Giant sea snail?? I'm intrigued! I don't know that one!
@@misshubnutGreat excuse for a new day trip/video.
It's not surprising a pub where Dylan Thomas drank closed down after he died. Their takings must have dropped by 90%.
Looks amazing. Just wanted to ask if there is part of the beach for dogs? Thanks as ever for your fantastic videos. We hope to move closer to the coast at some point in the future 😀.
You managed to eat those cakes without them being nicked by Gulls, I didn't see or hear any though. Shouldn't have mentioned this as they may read it and descend in flocks as missing out on some great cakes. I live 5 mile as the Gull flies from the coast and get pestered when eating al fresco. They at least vanish when a Sea Eagle puts in an appearance when the Salmon are in the river.
They were noticeably absent on the day we were filming. Though to be honest Llangrannog doesn't have too much of an issue. New Quay does sometimes
Are there really Welsh people who cannot read English? That sounds quite fantastic. (Mind you, I think languages that are under the threat of being overwhelmed by dominant national languages are well worth protecting, and so I wholeheartedly support the gentleman’s effort to have a bilingual sign for the parking lot, although it would not be of much use to myself.)
There are still very much first language Welsh people. Inland from us towards Tregaron they tend to be and also on the Lleyn Peninsula. I'm sure there are other pockets. Still a living language ❤
@@misshubnut Thank you! I have been aware of Welsh being alive, I just wondered if anyone who needed a parking ticket would have been able to get into this situation without at least an elementary grasp of the English language.
My comparison is Sardinia, where there are quite a number of first-language Sardinian speakers. However, schools, administration, media, institutions and public services will invariably use Italian. (And Sardinian is of course not as unitary and codified as Welsh, with a certain lexical and phonetic variation between the spoken language of different areas, and with localities speaking Catalan or Ligurian dialect, for historical reasons).
