Illustration by Moses Williams of 'Ceubren yr Ellyll' oak tree: an ancient widely split oak at the end of a pathway, with gnarled branches (only partially covered in foliage) stretching out across the sky.
Thomas Pennant on Ceubren yr Ellyll, first published in the 'Journey to Snowdon' (1781): "On the road side is a venerable oak, in its last stage of decay, and pierced by age into the form of a gothic arch; yet its present girth is twenty-seven feet and a half. The name is very classical, Derwen Ceubren yr Ellyll, the hollow oak, the haunt of daemons. How often has not warm fancy seen the fairy tribe revel round its trunk! or may not the visionary eye have seen the Hamadryad burst from the bark of its coeval tree?"
'Ceubren yr Ellyll' (The Demon's Hollow) was a decrepit, haunted oak tree in Nannau, north Wales
Associated with Welsh rebel leader Owain Glyndลตr's supposed killing of the treacherous Hywel Sele. The victim's skeleton was said to have been found, decades later, hidden in the tree #WyrdWednesday
