Open Doors - Yr Ysgwrn

Yr Ysgwrn is the home of Hedd Wyn, located on the outskirts of Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd. One of Wales' best known homes and largely preserved as it was in 1917 when Hedd Wyn last lived there, the site was subject of an extensive restoration project and was re-opened to the public in June, 2017. Since then, the museum and development project have won numerous national and international awards, including the RICA Building of the Year, 2018 and Europa Nostra European Heritage Prize, 2018.
