Hanes Heolgaled Salem History

9 Oct

Did you know the original Welsh name for Salem is Heolgaled?

In the 16th century thieves and bandits roamed the road here so it's thought to have been named hard or difficult road - Heolgaled - as a result!

Originally part of the ancient kingdom of Deheubarth, from its iron age hillfort to its Quaker burial ground, historic capel and the impact of the 1816 enclosures, Salem has a fascinating history to uncover... and if you've got info to share on our history - let us know in the comments or send us a message!
