The brewpub is a recent winner of the CAMRY award for a number of its beers and voted best pub in the region for 2012.〔http://www.camra.org.uk/branchpoty〕 The name Waunfaur was spelled 'Waenfawr' an anglicized version of the Welsh name, corrected by common consent in 1994 to align with the aims of the Welsh Language Society's aims to maintain the Welsh language in its proper form throughout public signage and usage. According to the United Kingdom Census 2011, the percentage of Welsh language speakers above age 3 was 79.5%. This was a 1.4% increase since the previous census in 2001. The Waunfawr landscape certainly reflects the village name and is absolutely stunning with the surrounding mountains ''Mynydd Mawr'' and ''Moel Elio'', with views of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales possible from some locations. There are a number of tourist locations for camping in Waunfawr and there is the opportunity to enjoy trekking and other Snowdonia National Park activities such as canoeing and mountain climbing.〔http://wales.gov.uk/topics/tourism/?lang=en〕 ==Glan Gwna== Glan Gwna is a grade II * listed country house, which stands in the 200 acre Glan Gwna estate within the community of Waunfawr on the banks of the River Seiont. The estate is now the Glan Gwna Holiday Park. In 1893 the estate was bought by the wealthy slate quarry owner John Ernest Greaves, who also owned Bron Eifion, near Criccieth. He knocked down the old hall and rebuilt it. On his death in 1945, Glan Gwna was left to his granddaughter Dorothy, who had married a cousin, William Flower of the brewing family, and the estate farms were subsequently sold. In the 1950s the estate was bought by a local businessman as a caravan park. During the 1970s, under new ownership, the estate became a holiday park, with 45 of the 200 acres dedicated to lodges, bungalows and cottages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Glan Gwna )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waunfawr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
