Llangolman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Llangolman is a small village in West Wales that lies in a historic landscape near the upper part of the valley of the Eastern Cleddau and its tributaries. The surrounding area is riddled with steep wooded valleys, presumably cut during one of the recent ice ages. The village itself sits on a plateau where two valleys meet, the eastern Cleddau and Llangollan/Llandilo tributary. The underlining geology is comprised of large quantities of slate and small amounts of sandstone. Evidence of glaciation is also seen from large banks of gravel sited to the east of the village which form deep drainage seeps from which discharges excellent spring water.

The valley sides have largely been saved from deforestation due to their steepness and some evidence of old forest exists along the western side of the Llangolman/Llandilo tributary. Otters have been seen in the rivers.

Ffynnon Samson is one of the farms in Llangolman along with llangolman Farm and Danderwen and many more. Ffynnon Sampson means Sampsons Well
