LLANFAIR-NANT-GWYN, a parish in the district of Cardigan and county of Pembroke; on the river Nevern, under Menydd-Preselley, 6 miles S of Cardigan r. station. Post town, Cardigan. Acres, 1,688. Real property, £1,008. Pop., 189. Houses, 38. The property is divided among a few. Quartzose rock abounds in the valley; and hence the name Nant-Gwyn, signifying "the white vale."
