Llangynog

Llangynog

Llangynog (gbmapping|SJ053261) lies at the confluence of Afon Eirth and the Afon Tanat at the foot of the Berwyn range in Powys, Wales. It lies at the foot of the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass on the B4391 road, which runs between Llan Ffestiniog and Llanfyllin (though the B4391 road number 'disappears' between the western end of Llyn Celyn and Bala).

It is surrounded by mountains and is a base for walkers. It boasts several pubs and a free car park with free toilet facilities. It is out of range from all mobile telephone services but has a public phone box.

It is also on the Tanat Valley Light Railway (Llynclys - Llangynog) 15 miles: opened January 5 1904; closed (passenger traffic) 1951.

It is close to the pilgrimage shrine of Saint Melangell at the church of Pennant Melangell (gbmapping|SJ024265).

Llangynog also has a local crown green bowling club, who are currently playing in the Oswestry League.
