Llandyfriog is a quiet village and parish on the northern banks of the
River Teifi, a few miles east of Newcastle Emlyn.

the lych-gate at the entrance to the churchyard.
(A lych-gate is a roofed gateway to a churchyard, originally used prior to
a burial for sheltering the coffin until the arrival of the clergyman)

Above: St Tyfriog's is built on level ground on the valley floor, below the village.

Above: Most of the houses in Llandyfriog are built on the northern side of the
