Photography by Julie Bosworth in September 2001 (with Kodak DC4800 digital camera)

Llanbadarn is an old village on the main road about 1 mile east of Aberystwyth. It is in the parish of Llanbadarn Fawr and is the site of the parish church said to have been founded by St Padarn, a companion of St Cadfan. For about 200 years it gave its name to a diocese of which St Padarn was the first bishop. Later, the see was incorporated with St David's. The church is almost entirely in the Early English style, but has been restored.
