Ty-Mawr has been running courses in traditional and sustainable building skills and techniques since 1996 on the site of their head office, on the shore of Llangors Lake in Mid Wales.
In 1993 Nigel and Joyce Gervis, founders and directors of Tŷ-Mawr Lime, purchased Tŷ-Mawr, a run-down farm in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
We don’t know exactly when the current house at ‘Tŷ-Mawr’ was built, it has changed ownership, changed names, changed size and changed function, but what we do know is that some very influential people have owned it and lived here.
