About

Cilgerran and Eglwyswrw is a rural ward in northern Pembrokeshire, characterised by rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and scattered villages. The area's landscape is defined by the deep gorge of the River Teifi, which forms its northern boundary with Ceredigion. The community includes the historic village of Cilgerran, known for its prominent castle ruins overlooking the river, and the smaller settlement of Eglwyswrw inland. Agriculture remains a central part of the local economy and scenery.

The ward's geography is shaped by the Teifi, a noted river for coracle fishing and kayaking. This stretch of water is a specific habitat for migratory fish like sewin. Inland, the terrain consists of quiet country lanes connecting farms and hamlets. The Preseli Hills rise to the south, influencing the area's topography and waterways. The local environment supports a mix of arable and livestock farming within a generally quiet, sparsely populated setting.
