The road from the north dips down into the settlement of Adpar which is contiguous, via the bridge over the Teifi, with Newcastle Emlyn whose church tower can be seen in the distance here. Adpar used to be a borough in its own right. It has been suggested that the name derives from At-pawr (At-Pori) - meaning a good 'second crop' for grazing in the rich Teifi valley pasture lands. When English settlers arrived in the area Atpawr became known as Atpar and over the years changed yet again to Adpar. The original Welsh name was Trehedyn (seed place?)
