Arllechwedd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ancient Welsh cantref of Arllechwedd in north-west Wales was part of the kingdom of Gwynedd for much of its history until it was included in the new county of Caernarfonshire, together with Arfon and Llŷn under the terms of the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284.

It comprised the cymydau of Arllechwedd Uchaf, Arllechwedd Isaf and Nant Conwy.

The administrative centre of Arllechwedd was Aber Garth Celyn on the north coast of Gwynedd.

Arllechwedd remains an ecclesiastical unit of the Church in Wales to this day.
