St Twrog
Llanddarog, Carmarthenshire
The spire, topped by a weathercock, is a local landmark as it can be seen for miles, at 150 feet tall.
St Twrog’s Church, Llanddarog is a well-known landmark for visitors who have travelled through West Wales. Its position and visibility on a hill overlooking the A48 trunk road means that it dominates the skyline by day and night, courtesy of floodlighting. The existing structure is a Grade II listed building, built in the 1850s on the site of a previous church, and designed by the architect R K Penson. The uniqueness of the building is created by the spire-tower, some 100 feet in height, which is a single structure built of sandstone.
