Whitland
Whitland is a small town as well as a neighborhood in Carmarthenshire, Wales, pushing the River Tâf. Whitland takes its name from its middle ages Cistercian abbey. The abbey pre-dates Tintern but now is significantly a wreck. The "white land" of the name (Latin: Albalanda) may describe the famous Ty Gwyn (English: White House) where Hywel's parliament satisfied, to the monks' clean woolen cloaks, or to the abbey's sedimentary rock. Whitland was dissolved during Henry VIII's conversion to a changed church. Much of its sedimentary rock was taken and used for other structures. The spectacular setting of the spoil as well as the Abbey's design can still be seen. A selecting ward of the very same name exists consisting of the Henllanfallteg area with a total population of 2,272.
