Cerrigydrudion

This village’s name, often misspelt as ‘Druidion’, means ‘Place of the Brave’ and has no connection with Druids. There are many tales of fairy cattle to be found in Wales, creatures that are thought to have descended from the aurochs, the wild cattle that roamed Britain in prehistoric times. Cerrigydrudion has it own cow, Y Fuwch Frech (the freckled cow), who lived on nearby Hiraethog mountain. For years she supplied the area with milk and would always fill any receptacle brought to her. One day, a witch began to milk her into a sieve and continued until the cow went insane and drowned herself in Llyn Dau Ychen. The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene is said to have been founded as early as AD440. The present building is medieval, and was mentioned in the Norwich Taxation documents of 1254. It was enlarged in 1503 and restored in 1874.
