A Taste of History
The name "Llanilid" means the land belonging to the church of St. Ilid.
These 4 and 5 star cottages lie on a farmstead which stands on a site dating back to Roman Times - a standing stone, marking a Centurian's tomb was found among the ruins of the church.
This is now in the British Museum, with copies in nearby Llywel Church and Brecon Museum.
