The centre of Llanybydder

The Cyrhiraeth

The Cyrhiraeth (Crying Spirit) was heard in the village one night, outside the home of a “sober, sensible man”. Shortly after he made the report of a funeral cortege past his house, which in his mind fulfilled the cries of the Cyrhiraeth.

Visitor Information

Llanybydder (sometimes formerly spelt Llanbydder) is a market town straddling the River Teifi in Carmarthenshire, West Wales.

The name may be a corruption of 'Llanbedr', the church dedicated to St Peter; or of 'Llanybyddair', the church of the Ambuscade.
