Abergwili
Abergwili is a community in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It has a population of 1612 and is also an electoral ward.
Abergwili is famous for its Bishop's Palace, which has been home to the Bishop of St David's since 1542. It was built between 1283 and 1291, when Thomas Bek was Bishop of St David's. The palace used to be a college of priests, and villagers knew it as a college until it formed with another to create Christ College in Breacon. It still has the chapel extended by Archbishop Laud in 1625. Carmarthenshire County Council aquired the palace in 1974 to use it as a museum, and they built the bishops a new dwelling in the grounds. Until 1802 there was a river called Towy running past the palace, but it changed course and left an oxbow lake. Now it contains lots of wildlife.
There is a public farm in Abergwili called Merlin's Hill Centre. It lies next to Merlin's Hill, and there is a footpath that goes right to the top. There is an Iron Age hillfort at the peak.
