Llanbedr-y-Cennin, CONWY, LL32 8UN

Only the lower tip of the middle part of the arrow of this OS cut mark remains on the SE angle of St Peter's Church. It marked a point 77.060m above mean sea level.

A view from the top of the burial ground that shows the long nave and bell tower. The elevated position of the church and village on the high flank of the Conwy Valley is also well demonstrated.

Saint Peter's Church is a gem, sitting on a somewhat level niche at the top of the village. It gives the village its name, but whether it is also named for leeks or daffodils is not obvious. This view shows the porch and southern transept. The restoration of the church in 1843 is recorded.

Solar power makes a contrast with antique slate on the roof of the well-kept cottages. After the gruelling ascent of the village road, the side turning to Rowen is almost level and most welcome. The Old Bull public house is in the distance at the road junction.

According to HistoryPoints http://historypoints.org/index.php?page=ye-olde-bull-inn-llanbedr this country pub dates from the late 17th century or early 18th. It may have replaced an even earlier hostelry on the site. The road which climbs past it was used by drovers to take livestock from the mountains to markets further east. The name is thought to relate to the bullocks which hauled carts over the upland tracks. Some were kept at a farm a little further uphill from the pub. The fields behind the Bull Inn hosted annual sheepdog trials on New Year's Day. Competitors came from as far away as Cumbria and North Yorkshire, until entries grew so large that the competition was restricted, in 1905, to North Wales. It is currently a J.W.Lees pub.
