TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE: C2161 HEOL Y GELLI, LLANSADWRN, LLANWRDA
A request has been received for the temporary road closure of the C2161, Heol y Gelli at Llansadwrn, Llanwrda from a point 710 metres north east of its junction with the C2172 for a distance of 80 metres in a north easterly direction.
The closure is necessary to ensure public safety whilst Welsh Water connect a new water pipe from Monday 7th January 2019 for a period of 2 days.
The alternative route for north eastbound traffic will be to proceed in a south westerly direction along the C2161 to its junction with the A40. At the junction, turn left and continue in a north easterly direction along the A40 to its junction with the A482. At the junction, turn left and continue in a north westerly direction along the A482 to its junction with the C2161.

Libanus Chapel – opportunities to take a look

Libanus Chapel in Llansadwrn is a beautiful building with an interesting history
The old chapel is now managed by the Welsh Religious Buildings Trust. It was the first chapel they took on.
The Baptist Cause
Built in 1841 and tucked away in the westward corner of Llansadwrn this building is the second chapel built by the local members. The stream in Waunclynda was used for baptisms for the members in Capel Soar, Llandybie and this group went on to build two chapels.
The first chapel was built in 1790 and it served both the local Baptists and Methodists with a wattle screen between to separate the congregations.
The present chapel was built in 1841 by the chapel members.
The school room behind is above the old stable block. Sadly the floor up here is too dangerous to walk on but there are a number of artifacts from the days is was used as a school room.
Did you go to services at Libanus?
We would love to hear your stories of the chapel which closed in 1998. Did you go to services there? Do you remember any stories about the chapel?
Get involved
We will be doing a cleaning day there soon and we would like to open the chapel up regularly for use by the village. The Welsh Religious Buildings Trust are keen to see the building used to ensure that it doesn’t decay.
Please do get in touch if you are interested in getting involved.
Future open days
We will also be arranging some open days in the future – watch the website and events list to find out more and follow the Llansadwrn Facebook page.
