Crymych, Pembrokeshire

A distant view shows Crymych under the Preseli ridge, with Foel Drygarn above it to the right (north) and the plantation of Llethr to the left. The high ridge beyond has Feol Feddau to the right and Foel Cwmcerwyn (the highest point in SW Wales at 536 m) to the left. Crymych is located in the saddle in the Preseli ridge through which the main Cardigan-Narberth road passes. There was no real settlement here until the railway line to Cardigan was built through the pass in 1874, whereupon the station became a depot for the scattered enclosure farms of the area, and shops and services grew up around this. It still functions as the commercial and cultural centre of the hill country, and includes (centre view) the local Welsh-language comprehensive school.
