Clynderwen ((ウェールズ語:Clunderwen)) () is a rural village lying in the traditional county of Carmarthenshire, Wales, (however administered as part of Pembrokeshire) between Llandissilio village and the town of Narberth. The village is known as a camping destination and is popular for self-catering holidays. It is also a community in the administrative county of Pembrokeshire, with its own community council of 10 members. ==History== The earliest known record of Clynderwen ''(English: thicket of oak)'' is in 1822: a mansion and farm of that name, the Clynderwen Estate, which stood (and still stands) to the east of the present village and may have dated back to the 17th century. The village was named after the estate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pembrokeshirehalls.org.uk/hall.php?hall_id=20 )〕 Robert Frederick Gower, High Sheriff of Pembrokeshire in 1844, whose son Erasmus Gower rose to the rank of admiral, owned Clyn Derwen (sic). Clynderwen was listed in The Welsh Church Year Book of 1929 as having a Chapel of Ease in the parish of ''Llanfallteg with Clynderwen with Castell Dwyran'' and had been listed in the parish of Castell Dwyran since before 1850.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CMN/Castell-Dwyran/ )〕 The village is on the A478 Tenby to Cardigan road and developed after the advent of the railway in 1854. The Great Western Railway (West Wales Line) to London from the ports of Milford Haven and Fishguard passes through the village at Clunderwen railway station. From 1876 a light railway, the Narberth Road and Maenclochog Railway ran from Clynderwen to Rosebush slate quarries via Maenclochog. The line was closed to passengers in 1937 and to freight in 1949. The railway encouraged the development of the local economies and Clynderwen became a focus for agricultural produce and livestock shipment. Clynderwen and Cardiganshire Farmers cooperative opened its first branch in the village in 1904, the first of 22 covering much of Wales. The cooperative was a prime mover in a number of agricultural advances and projects beneficial to the farming community particularly during the depression in the 1920s and the technical revolutions after World War 2.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ccfagri.co.uk/about/history/ )〕 The Clunderwen Agricultural Society was established in 1911 and held an annual show until 1963 and from 1979 to the present. The Clunderwen Young Farmers Club, established 1929, was the first in Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.clunderwenshow.org.uk/show%20history.html )〕 The village was notable for the efforts of the James brothers who in 1913 were the first men in Pembrokeshire to build and fly their own aircraft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://education.gtj.org.uk/en/item10/3420 )〕 On 1 April 2003,〔(The Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire (Clynderwen, Cilymaenllwyd and Henllanfallteg) Order 2002 )〕 the village was transferred from the administrative county of Carmarthenshire to that of Pembrokeshire, following a boundary change between the counties. At the same time, a name change to Clunderwen was proposed to reflect the actual usage by the community council and on road and other signs.〔(Boundary change proposal ) (PDF)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Clynderwen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
