Rwy'n falch iawn o gael rhannu hwn gan ei fod yn cynnwys yr enw cywir ar gyfer Moelyci, a gafodd ei gamenwi gan gartograffwyr yr OS i Moel y Ci. Rhywbeth sy'n fy nghythruddo i’n aml. Mwy am Moelyci isod

I take great delight in sharing this given it features the correct name for Moelyci, which was renamed in error by OS cartographers to Moel y Ci. A particular bugbear of mine. More about Moelyci below.
