About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Mynwent y Cwn, The Dogs' Cemetery, is located on the estate of Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. The estate is known as the village of Portmeirion, and is a popular tourist attraction in Wales. The Dogs' Cemetery was founded by Adelaide Haig, who lived on the estate from 1870 until 1917. Mrs. Haig was known as a very eccentric woman, whose affinity for canines far superseded that of human companionship. Mywent y Cwn is accessed from one of the many trails which line the woods on the estate.
