(Welsh: Roedd Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) yn noddwr naturiol, henwraig, ac awdur teithio o Gymru a oedd yn adnabyddus am ei deithiau helaeth ar draws Prydain. Mae ei waith, gan gynnwys "Tours in Wales," yn cael ei ganmol am ei sylwadau manwl ar dirweddau, pensaernïaeth, a thraddodiadau diwylliannol. Cyfraniad pwysig iawn a wnaeth Pennant i ddeall treftadaeth Gymreig oedd ei angerdd dros archwilio a dogfennu safleoedd hanesyddol. Mae ei ysgrifau yn parhau i gael eu gwerthfawrogi am eu cywirdeb hanesyddol a'u darlun byw o gefn gwlad Cymru.)
