 Llanbadarn Fawr, St Padarn's Church
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Llanbadarn Fawr, St Padarn's Church Not much is known about the life of St Padarn; he was born in 6th century Wales around the same time as St David, though he never achieved the same popularity. He lived in the south and south west of the country, and is best known for founding a monastery here at Llanbadarn Fawr, just outside the sprawl of modern Aberyswyth.

 Llananno Church
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Llananno Church The small church of Llananno sits in isolation, slumbering away the years without a nearby village, despite the proximity of the busy A483 immediately beside the churchyard. The dedication is to Anno, a saint who is virtually unknown. The church dates to the medieval period, though much of the current structure is a producxt of a comprehensive Victorian restoration. But it is not the Victorian work that makes Llananno church so satisfying to visit, it is a superbly carved late medieval rood screen, one of the finest in Wales, and indeed, the equal of any in England.
A483, Llanbadarn Fynydd, Powys, Wales

Attraction Type: Church
Heritage Highlight: Superb late medieval carved screen, one of the best in Wales

Location: On the A483, 3 miles south of Llanbadarn Fynydd. Parking in a large layby on the south west side of the road. - Photos of Llananno Church
