Llangoedmor is a village andcommunity inCeredigion, Wales. The village is 2 miles east ofCardigan, while the community also encompassesLlechryd,Pant-gwyn, andNeuadd Wilym.
Llangoedmor (Welsh for 'the church the great wood') is derived from thegroves ofWelsh Oak and othertrees which existed there. The remnants of thewoodland still exist and are now asite of Special Scientific Interest, this wood is known locally as Cwm Du.
In theDark Ages it was the home ofSt Cynllo, whose knee imprints are said to exist in a rock, near the farm named Felin Gynllo. His feast day is 17 July. A sparsely populated area, it is mainly made up of farmsteads, the occasionalmansion, such as Coedmore and Plas Llangoedmor, and detached houses. The Croes-y-Llan area has seen the most recent building activity in the last two decades, and has seen an increase in the population of this village, especially by those from cities who have moved fromurbanconurbations.
Llangoedmor was the site of a 12th-centurybattle.Samuel Lewis'sA Topographical Dictionary of Wales (1833) states:
These days, Llangoedmor is a popular spot fortourists, partly because of its proximity to thePreseli Hills andPembrokeshire Coast National Park. The parish church of St Cynllo is a grade II* listed building.[2]
