Sheepfolds of the carneddau

10 September 2026

There are over 3,000 sheepfolds across north west Wales, but only around 100 of these are the very large, communal, folds that farmers have used to sort the flocks of sheep that graze on the mountains over the summer. This talk looks at how these large folds work, when, why and where they were built and how they fit into the history and culture of welsh hill farming - and also how they are linked to an island off Croatia. Many of them are now falling into disrepair but we will finish the talk by seeing how some are still used today, continuing the pattern and rhythm of gathering sheep from the hills that goes back over 300 years
