Clunderwen

Clynderwen is a rural village lying in the traditional county of Carmarthenshire, Wales, between Llandissilio village and the town of Narberth. The village is known as a camping destination and is popular for self-catering holidays. It is also a community in the administrative county of Pembrokeshire, with its own community council of 10 members. HistoryThe earliest known record of Clynderwen is in 1822: a mansion and farm of that name, the Clynderwen Estate, which stood to the east of the present village and may have dated back to the 17th century. The village was named after the estate. Robert Frederick Gower, High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1844, whose son Erasmus Gower rose to the rank of admiral, owned Clyn Derwen . Clynderwen was listed in The Welsh Church Year Book of 1929 as having a Chapel of Ease in the parish of Llanfallteg with Clynderwen with Castell Dwyran and had been listed in the parish of Castell Dwyran since before 1850. The village is on the A478 Tenby to Cardigan road and developed after the advent of the railway in 1854. The Great Western Railway to London from the ports of Milford Haven and Fishguard passes through the village at Clunderwen railway station. From 1876 a light railway, the Narberth Road and Maenclochog Railway ran from Clynderwen to Rosebush slate quarries via Maenclochog. The line was closed to passengers in 1937 and to freight in 1949.
