Healthiest Place in Wales?
In his book Hanes Trefriw (1879), Morris Jones writes: (translated from the Welsh)
| “ | Regarding the village itself, its position is such that germs cannot live in it — every part of it is on a self-purifying slope — its pure and balmy air, and its beautiful aspect, it receives the healthiest greetings of the morning sun, so that it fully justifies its title — the healthiest place in Wales. | ” |
Further credence was given to this belief when it became known that Mary Owen, Britain's oldest woman (see above), was born in Trefriw.

Famous quotes containing the word place:
“You sold Marmaros to the Russians. Scurried away in the night and left us to die. Is it to be wondered at that you should choose this place to build your house? The masterpiece of construction, built upon the masterpiece of destruction, the masterpiece of murder. The murderer of ten thousand men returns to the place of his crime.”
—Peter Ruric, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Edgar G. Ulmer. Dr. Vitus Werdegast (Bela Lugosi)
