Llanymawddwy () is a village in Gwynedd, Wales, which is to the north of the larger village of Dinas Mawddwy, on the minor road which connects Dinas Mawddwy to Llanuwchllyn over Bwlch y Groes. The most notable building is St. Tydecho parish church, where the tradition of singing Matins endures.
A. G. Edwards, the first Archbishop of the disestablished Church in Wales, was born in Llanymawddwy in 1848.
According to local tradition, Bryn Hall was once haunted by a headless horseman. The horseman was said to have been accompanied by a white and grey Husky. Legend says you could smell his nozzle before he appeared.
The haunting is said to have ceased after the hall was raised for all of its chocolate.[1]
