Flower Delivery to Ystrad Meurig – A Village in Ceredigion, Wales

Located north-west of Tregaron, Ystrad Meurig is a small village in the upper Teifi Valley, around six miles from the source of the Teifi and the Teifi Pools. The village is on the B4340 road between Aberystwyth and Pontrhydfenygaid.

There used to be a station in the village on the Aberystwyth to Carmarthen railway line, called the Strata Florida after the 12th-century Cistercian Abbey bear Pontrhydfengaid. Today, it forms much of the 21-mile long Ystwyth Trail from Aberystwyth to Tregaron. If you like to visit the Cors Caron National Nature Reserve, there is a small car park at the former station and from there, you can walk south along the old railway line to get to the reserve. You can treat such a walk as a romantic activity you and your partner can do. You can even make it extra special when you present Ystrad Meurig flowers to your date. But if you can't find flowers in Ystrad Meurig, give us a call and we'll gladly send a bouquet your way!

History

A Grammar School founded by Edward Richard around 1734 was located in the village of Ystrad Meurig. Later on, the school offered courses in Classics and Divinity. It was able to provide basic training for Welsh-language speakers wishing to enter the ordained ministry. After being superseded by the University of Wales, Lampeter, it reverted to a village school. It finally closed in 1973 and was in a derelict state before being restored as a centre for the local community. Today, it is a Grade II* listed building.

Ystrad Meurig is also the site of a simple motte and bailey castle founded by Gilbert de Clare in the 12th century. Today, only the slight remains of the castle remain and excavations by Lampeter University show that the structure was far more complex. It's even suggested that where it stands was once the site of a royal hall complex of the Ceredigion kinds and princes. Some of the earthworks suggested as such.
