HISTORICAL NOTE
Dolbeudiau is one of a number of farms in the vicinity of Strata Florida Abbey which was established by the monks there and formed part of the monastic estate. The Abbey is the resting place of several Welsh princes, and of Dafydd ap Gwilym, one of the great poets of the Middle Ages. Archaeological evidence shows that parts of the old farm buildings date from the 14th Century, and that they were used for housing pack animals. Further evidence of the monastic influence is in stone embankments of the field enclosures leading to the village of Pontrhydfendigaid.
