Elin y Cerrig
The Lost Guardian of the Limestone
Elin y Cerrig – The Lost Guardian of the Limestone is an inspiring immersive learning and creative education project developed by Puzzle Junction in partnership with Conwy Council. The project brings together theatre, storytelling, art, and science to connect pupils with the unique biodiversity of the Great Orme and the Creuddyn Peninsula in North Wales.
Through interactive performances, creative classroom workshops, and bilingual educational resources, children are introduced to Elin y Cerrig, a mythic guardian of the limestone habitat who guides them on a journey to discover the rare and cryptic creatures that depend on this fragile environment.
Designed for Key Stage 2 pupils, the project combines environmental awareness, local heritage, and creative expression, encouraging young learners to understand how important the limestone ecosystem is and how they can help protect it for the future.
