Darllen yn GymraegExplore Ceredigion's chapel and religious history
Churches and chapels form a visible part of Ceredigion's landscape, from village centres to remote upland settings. Llangeitho's association with Daniel Rowland and the Methodist revival is one route into this history. Other communities preserve different traditions, so consider each building in its own local and religious context.
A quieter way to explore
Chapels built by farming and mining communities can reveal much about the people who lived around them. Soar y Mynydd offers a particularly striking mountain setting. Check access before visiting, and respect worship, privacy and the atmosphere of these places.
