Cwmrhydyceirw

Cwmrhydyceirw is a village in Morriston, based in the City and County of Swansea, south Wales. The village is located about 1 mile north of Morriston town centre. It is home to the main campus of Morriston Hospital, Morriston Comprehensive School and Cwmrhydyceirw Primary School. The English translation of the name means "the valley of the stags' ford" which gave rise the name of local pub "The Deer's Leap". However, the name of the village is corrupted from its original: "Cwmrhydycwrw" - a reference to the frothy ale-like appearance of the local stream ("cwrw" meaning ale).[1]
