- Cwmfelin_Mynach abstract "Cwmfelin Mynach is a tiny Carmarthenshire village. It has a population of only 64 residents.The river Gronw runs through the centre of the village under a stone bridge. In the medieval period the river was used to drive a corn mill. 'Cwmfelin Mynach' means Valley (cwm) of the Monks' (Mynach) Mill (Felin). It was founded in the 6th century by the Cistercian monks or Whitefriars. These monks gave their name to the nearby town, Whitland. Outside Whitland, it is the oldest Cistercian monastery in the UK. Much of the limestone has been looted or used for other buildings after Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. Some of the stone from Whitland Priory is suspected to have been used for the building of St. Brynach's Church, Llanboidy.Notable curiosities in this bilingual Welsh and English speaking village include the practice of baptising in the river. The river Gronw which starts at Blaenwaun (one of the highest inhabited villages in the West Wales peninsula) runs through Cwmfelin Mynach. At the lowest point in the village, persons are brought down stone steps and immersed in the river. The steps, quarried from local slate, can still be seen near the apex of the 'U' bend on a minor country lane heading north east (co-oridinates aproxminately lat 51°53'44.11"N. Long 4°34'20.75"W).Remnants of two small disused slate quarries can still be seen, hidden within trees and vegetation.The remains of a cock-fighting bunker is visible deep in a beechwood. This practise has not gone on for many years.".
