Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog

This peaceful village in the heart of the Vale of Ceiriog was the birthplace of the famous Welsh bard Ceiriog, whose real name was John Hughes (1832–1887). A collector of folk tales as well as a poet, he is sometimes called the Robert Burns of Wales. The 14-mile Upper Ceiriog Trail for walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders passes his home, Pen-y-Bryn. In the churchyard of the Parish Church of St Garmon, built in 1846, are yew trees, one of, which may be more than 1000 years old. Also in the churchyard is a small tumulus, which may date from the Bronze Age. Local legend says it is Tomen Garmon, from which St Garmon preached and in which he was buried.
