Nebo is a small village in Gwynedd, Wales. It is adjacent to the small village of Nasareth and near the larger villages of Llanllyfni and Penygroes.
Amenities
Nebo has a Welsh-medium primary school, Ysgol Gynradd Nebo. As of 2022, there were 15 children enrolled at the school, making it the fourth smallest school in Wales.[1] In 2017, approximately 58% of pupils come from Welsh-speaking homes.[2]
Nebo is now mainly a small residential area, as the chapel and post office have been sold in the last couple of decades.[citation needed] There is a play-area and a football pitch where school and community events are held.
Broadcasting mast
The Arfon television broadcasting mast is on a nearby mountain and supplies most of the valley below, as well as a large part of Gwynedd. Erected in 1962, it is currently the highest structure in Wales since the addition of a new antenna in 2008 slightly extended it to 317 metres.[3]
In popular culture
The village is the primary setting of, and lends its name to, the Welsh-language post-apocalyptic fiction book Llyfr Glas Nebo, by Manon Steffan Ros.[4]
