MAE GORLLEWIN RHYDYCAR YN MEDDU AR DREFTADAETH GYFOETHOG AC MAE DIOGELU A DATHLU HANES GWERTHFAWR Y SAFLE YN GANOLOG I’N DATBLYGIAD.
Mae’r safle’n meddu ar gyflenwadau haearn a glo helaeth a chyfrannodd hynny’n sylweddol at y chwyldro diwydiannol a thu hwnt, hyd at ganol yr ugeinfed ganrif. Cyn hynny, roedd y tir yn safle pwysig yn y cyfnod pan oedd ymneilltuaeth grefyddol ar droed yng Nghymru.
Mae olion arwyddocaol o’r hanes hwnnw wedi’u gwasgaru ar draws y safle. Yn anffodus, mae rhai o’r rhain wedi diraddio a diflannu, a dyna pam mai ein datblygiad yn canolbwyntio ar sicrhau bod yr henebion allweddol hyn yn cael eu hadfer a’u gwarchod er mwynhad y cenedlaethau i ddyfod.
Rydym wedi gweithio gyda CADW i gofrestru chwech o henebion eraill ar y safle, a’n huchelgais yw galluogi pobl i brofi a deall pwysigrwydd hanesyddol y tir a’i gyfraniad at stori ehangach Merthyr.
