Historical background
This area forms part, occupies land which has remained otherwise
undeveloped between the southern extremity of Llandudno and
the northern part of Deganwy. The North Wales Path runs alongside
it, and it is bisected by the railway. It is described by Lewis
Morris as ‘Morva Rhianedd a Low Marsh' in his Plans of 1748.
This area has legendary associations with the story of Maelgwn
Gwynedd, as the place where the fad felen (‘yellow plague')
arrived, which claimed the king's life. It is also mentioned
in the englynion y beddau. Much of it now forms links of the
Maesdu golf-club.
