On his death in 1945, {{lang|cy|Glan Gwna}} was left to his granddaughter Dorothy, who had married a cousin, William Flower of the brewing family, and the estate farms were subsequently sold. In the 1950s the estate was bought by a local businessman as a caravan park. During the 1970s, under new ownership, the estate became a holiday park, with 45 of the 200 acres ({{convert|45|acre|disp=number}} of the {{convert|200|acre|disp=out|abbr=off}}) dedicated to lodges, bungalows and cottages.[6] Local charitiesThe local social enterprise, Antur Waunfawr, which was created by R. Gwynn Davies, in 1984, among its many initiatives, has three sites, with the {{lang|cy|Bryn Pistyll}} site at {{lang|cy|Waunfawr}} housing the organisation's head office.

The station initiated commercial transatlantic wireless service from London to New York City in 1920. It replaced Marconi's transatlantic wireless service from Clifden, Ireland to Canada, after the Clifden station was destroyed in the Irish Civil War in 1922. The building was until recently used as a climbing centre called Beacon Climbing, which has since relocated to Caernarfon town.
