Whitland
Whitland is a village as well as a community in Carmarthenshire, Wales, resting on the River Tâf. Whitland takes its name from its middle ages Cistercian abbey. The abbey pre-dates Tintern and now is quite a wreck. The "white land" of the name (Latin: Albalanda) may refer to the famous Ty Gwyn (English: White House) where Hywel's parliament fulfilled, to the monks' unstained woolen cloaks, or to the abbey's limestone. Whitland was liquified throughout Henry VIII's conversion to a reformed church. Much of its sedimentary rock was taken and also made use of for various other structures. The wonderful setup of the spoil and also the Abbey's layout can still be viewed. An electoral ward of the same name exists including the Henllanfallteg community with an overall population of 2,272.
