Yn y ddelwedd yma gwelwn y corn niwl yn Nash Point ger Marcroes, Bro Morgannwg Tu ôl i’r corn niwl gallwn weld y goleudy. Adeiladwyd y goleudy ar ddechrau’r 1830au, yn dilyn llongddrylliad ym 1831. Tynnwyd y llun yn rhan gyntaf yr 20fed ganrif gan y ffotograffydd o Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr, Edwin Miles.

This image shows the fog siren at Nash Point near Marcross in the Vale of Glamorgan Behind the fog siren the lighthouse can be seen. The lighthouse was built in the early-1830s, prompted by a shipwreck in 1831. The photo was taken in the early 20th century by Bridgend photographer Edwin Miles.
