The village of Llanon lies 5 miles north of Aberaeron and 11 miles south of Aberystwyth on the busy A487 in the county of Ceredigion, Mid Wales. It is part of the parish of Llansantffraed, which consists of three communities - Llanon, Llansantffraed and Nebo.

The settlements of Llanon, and Llansantffraed sit between the two rivers Afon Peris and Afon Cledan before they spill into Cardigan Bay. The name Llanon derives from St Non, mother of the patron saint of Wales, St David (Llanon meaning 'Church of Non').Nearby is Llansantffraed Church, a Grade II listed building. The church is dedicated to Saint Ffraed (known in English as St Bridget).

After St Patrick she is Ireland's Patron Saint. So what is the connection between this little Welsh village and Ireland Well the adoption of an Irish saint is probably due to the maritime links with Ireland that were possible through ship building along the Cardiganshire coast, indeed many ships were built here in the villages of Llansantffraed and Llanon.

The church is an impressive building, stained glass windows can be seen above the altar, depicting scenes of St Non and St David together, and the churchyard is a peaceful place, attracting an array of wildlife.

There is a footpath leading from the village down to the sea, where you can appreciate the magnificent views across the Bay of Cardigan. For the perfect break away, try staying at one of the self-catering cottages in Llanon, giving you the freedom of a place away but providing all the home comforts you need.

Llanon benefits from a Post Office, petrol station, Siloh Congregational Chapel, a traditional butchers shop, the White Swan Inn and the Central Hotel public house.
