点评:We're not Welsh and knew next to nothing about Hedd Wyn before our visit, but found our two or three hours at Yr Ysgwrn utterly absorbing. The cottage itself is small but full of interest, whether you're into Welsh culture, history, poetry or just want to hear the family story and see inside their home as it was in the early 1900s.
Our small group tour ended up as four people, two English, two Welsh, was led mainly in English with a smattering of Welsh. It gave us a comprehensive instruction to all of these things and was led with real passion and knowledge. The property had a relaxed and intimate feel and we were not rushed through the exhibit.
We also enjoyed the films and displays in the visitor centre, especially seeing the book of 26 layers of wallpapers removed by conservators from the walls and the original wooden cross from HW's grave at Artillery Wood Cemetery near Ypres.
Well worth visiting and a bargain at £9 per head.
Worth noting that you can only visit the cottage as part of a tour; there is no self-guided access. It's not a bad idea to book ahead.
翻译:我们并非威尔士人,在参观之前对赫德·温 (Hedd Wyn) 几乎一无所知,但在 Yr Ysgwrn 的两三个小时却让我们完全沉浸其中。小屋本身虽小,却处处充满趣味,无论您是威尔士文化、历史、诗歌爱好者,还是仅仅想聆听家族故事,一窥他们20世纪初的居所,都能在这里找到乐趣。
我们的小团最终由四人组成,两位英国人,两位威尔士人,讲解员主要使用英语,偶尔穿插一些威尔士语。讲解员热情洋溢、知识渊博,为我们提供了全面的讲解。整个庄园氛围轻松温馨,参观过程中也没有被催促。
我们也很喜欢游客中心的影片和展览,尤其是看到文物修复人员从墙上移除的26层壁纸记录册,以及赫德·温位于伊普尔附近炮兵森林公墓的墓碑上的原木十字架。
非常值得一游,每人9英镑的价格也相当划算。
值得注意的是,参观这座小屋只能参加旅行团,不能自行参观。建议提前预订。
