LlangoedmorLlangoedmor (Welsh Llan-Goedmawr; formerly Llandgoedmore) is a village and parish situated on the River Teifi, 2 miles east of Cardigan, Wales. Its name means "the church of the great wood", derived from the groves of oak and other trees which exist there. Llangoedmor was the site of a 12th-century battle. Samuel Lewis's A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (1833) states: "Soon after the death of Henry I, a memorable battle was fought near Crg Mawr, a conical hill in this parish, between the Welsh, commanded by Grufydd ap Rhys and the English, in which the latter sustained a signal defeat." These days, Llangoedmor is a popular spot for tourists, partly because of its proximity to the Preseli Mountains and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
