Llangadog is a community located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, which includes the villages of Llangadog, Bethlehem and Capel Gwynfe. A notable local landscape feature is Y Garn Goch with two Iron Age hill forts.〔The Welsh Academy Encyclopedia of Wales. Cardiff: University of Wales Press 2008.〕 Llangadog was the administrative centre of the commote of Perfedd and had a castle, destroyed in 1204. Although the borough declined in the Middle Ages, Llangadog retained its market, which was frequented by drovers into the 19th century.〔 The railway station on the Heart of Wales Line provides regular train services via Arriva Trains Wales. The station had a siding for accessing the Co-op Wholesale Society creamery, allowing milk trains to access the site. After railway access was ceased in the late 1970s, the creamery continued to operate until 2005, when it closed with the loss of 200 jobs.〔(BBC NEWS | Wales | South West Wales | 200 jobs lost as creamery closes )〕 The site has since been redeveloped as a pet food factory.〔(Venture Wales - Pet food manufacturer to open new production facility )〕 ==Governance== An electoral ward with the same name exists. This ward stretches beyond the confines of Llangadog community. The total ward population taken at the 2011 census was 1,929.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 )〕 The community is bordered by the communities of: Myddfai; Llanddeusant; Quarter Bach; Dyffryn Cennen; Manordeilo and Salem; and Llansadwrn, all being in Carmarthenshire. 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「Llangadog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
