Talysarn is a village in the slate quarrying Nantlle Valley in Gwynedd, Wales. It is part of the community of Llanllyfni and includes some of Llandwrog.[1] The ward had a population of 1,930 at the 2011 census.
The Welsh language poet Robert Williams Parry was born in 37, Station Road, Talysarn, where a plaque designed by R. L. Gapper commemorates the connection.[2] Other persons connected with the village were Annant, quarryman, preacher and bard, Gwilym R. Jones, bard and journalist, and Idwal Jones author of the Welsh-language radio series SOS, Galw Gari Tryfan.[citation needed]
The 19th century methodist preacher John Jones, Talysarn, is also connected with the village, not by birth but because he settled here, becoming a shopkeeper and quarry owner as a sideline to his main vocation.[3]
The song "Ciosg Talysarn" by the Welsh folk singer Dafydd Iwan was written after two secret agents were found bugging a public telephone in Talysarn in 1982.[4]
Talysarn is covered by a Neighbourhood Policing Team based in the nearby village of Penygroes.[citation needed]
