St. Dogmaels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Dogmaels is a village and parish in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on the estuary of the River Teifi, a mile downstream from the town of Cardigan.
The village is famous for the remains of a 12th century Tironian abbey, which was in its day one of the richer monastic institutions in Wales. It was once a marcher borough. Owen, in 1603, described it as one of five Pembrokeshire boroughs overseen by a portreeve[1].
In 2006 the village won the Wales Calor Village of the Year competition after beating Trefriw in the final. [1]
