History of Cilgerran
History
An historic rural village close to Cardigan in West Wales and bordering the Preseli National Park. Cilgerran lies on the River Teifi and the site of Cilgerran Castle, built in 1100, from which Owain of Powys is said to have abducted Nest in 1109 (see the story below). It is first mentioned by name in 1164. Cilgerran's Castle is one of the most picturesque in Wales which has been painted by many artists including Joseph Mallord William Turner.
The "town" is first mentioned in 1204 from when it was the administrative centre for a lordship until the sixteenth century. Although the town remained small it was considered one of the main market centres in Pembrokeshire in the seventeenth century.
Today Cilgerran is considered to be a village even though there are in excess of one thousand souls in residence.
