Y Sospan is the old building in Queens Square Dolgellau with the cronky roof. But when you consider that Y Sospan has a history dating back to the early 1600s it goes some way to explain the roof ! Today Y Sospan (Welsh for Saucepan) is a popular restaurant and tearooms. In bygone days they did serve food, but only as last suppers before the executions of its prisoners. That’s right—Y Sospan used to house the local gaols. But now is open all year round as a cafe and tea rooms during the day and Bistro in the evening, serving fresh local produce.
