Hosted by local presenter Alistair James, the series delves into hidden histories, folklore, culture and landscapes across Conwy, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Betws-y-Coed. By peeling back the layers beneath familiar landmarks, Conwy Uncovered invites both locals and curious visitors to experience North Wales in a fresh and revealing way. Mae Datgelu Conwy yn gyfres podlediad sy’n mynd tu hwnt i’r llawlyfr i ddatgelu’r straeon, pobl a’r llefydd sydd wedi siapio Sir Conwy. Wedi’i gyflwyno gan y cyflwynydd lleol Alistair James, mae’r gyfres yn treiddio i hanesion cudd, llên gwerin, diwylliant a thirluniau ar draws Conwy, Llandudno, Bae Colwyn a Betws-y-coed. Trwy dynnu’r haenau yn ôl o dan dirnodau cyfarwydd, mae Conwy Uncovered yn gwahodd pobl leol ac ymwelwyr chwilfrydig i brofi Gogledd Cymru mewn ffordd ffres a dadlennol.Visit Conwy Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary
