A house steeped in history
Yes, that house.
The eighteenth-century stone cottage at the heart of Bron Yr Aur Creative Micronation became a retreat for two world-famous musicians in 1970. Away from touring and the pressures of fame, they found space to rest, write and explore new music, drawing inspiration from the landscape and the simple rhythms of life.
For centuries, the same spring and stream have brought water to the house, connecting generations of people who have lived, worked and created here. Long before its famous musical visitors, shepherds and others left their marks on the landscape, carving into slate and tree bark, and hiding small treasures in the trees.
Today, that creative spirit lives on. Visual artists, musicians, poets and makers continue to find inspiration here, adding their own voices to a story shaped by land, memory and imagination.
The house is now at the heart of Bron Yr Aur Creative Micronation, where culture is not simply inherited but continually created, connecting the lives of those who came before us with those still to come.
