History
"LLANSADWRNEN (LLAN-SADYRNIN), a parish, in the higher division of the hundred of DERLLYS, union and county of CARMARTHEN, SOUTH WALES, 2 miles (S.W.) from Laugharne: containing 237 inhabitants. This parish, which derives its name from the dedication of its church, is pleasantly situated on the bay of Carmarthen, and is but of small extent; the land is inclosed and in a tolerable state of cultivation. Limestone is found in the rocks near the coast, but the inhabitants are principally employed in agriculture. The surrounding scenery is pleasingly varied; and the views, extending over the bay and the adjacent country, are interesting, and combine some features of a picturesque character. . . In the limestone rock near the coast is a curious and beautiful cavern of large dimensions, which was formerly a retreat for smugglers." [From A Topographical Dictionary of Wales (S. Lewis, 1844).] For more information see Llansadwrnen, Carmarthenshire at genuki.org.uk
