Chapels of Cwmgiedd


Cwmgiedd has Yorath Chapel at the centre of the village. In the past, it had two satellite chapels from Yorath, Pen Pisgah located in Palleg, and Ynys Chapel, in the Ynys. Also to be found in Cwmgiedd was Ysgoldy Fach, a schoolroom for Sardis Chapel.


Yorath Chapel is located on the main road through Cwmgiedd, on the left as you head down towards the National Park. It is a Methodist chapel, and is still active today.

Ynys Chapel was located on what is now the by-pass, but was then the banks of the canal, and was established as a satellite chapel of Yorath. It is now a private house.

Pen Pisgah is located in Palleg, and was a farmhouse donated to Yorath Chapel as a schoolroom, though it was also described at the time as a chapel, and used for performances and services.

Ysgoldy Fach was a second Sunday School for Sardis Chapel, located at the far end of Cwmgiedd, and a sign of the rivalries between different chapels and denominations for members.
