Llanrhidian

Llanrhidian

Llanrhidian is a village in the Gower peninsula, Wales falling in the Gower ward of Swansea.

The village church is the St. Rhidian & St. Illtyd Church. The church is a 13th Century building with the present chancel and tower added in the 14th Century. The village gets its name from St. Rhidian. Rhidian is probably a corruption of 'Tryrulhid', who was St. Illtyd's wife.
