Aberdyfi sits where the River Dyfi meets Cardigan Bay, and its name is bound up with one of Wales's best-known legends.
A kingdom said to lie beneath the waves
According to Welsh legend, Cantre'r Gwaelod was a fertile kingdom that once occupied land now covered by Cardigan Bay, swallowed by the sea after its sea defences failed. The story holds that the kingdom's church bells can still be heard ringing beneath the water off Aberdyfi.
A song that travelled further than the village
That legend inspired "The Bells of Aberdovey," a song first performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in London in 1785, as part of the comic opera Liberty Hall. Despite its stage origins in England, it's now sung as a Welsh folk classic.
