Whitland
Whitland is a village and also a community in Carmarthenshire, Wales, lying on the River Tâf. Whitland takes its name from its middle ages Cistercian abbey. The abbey pre-dates Tintern and now is very much a wreck. The "white land" of the name (Latin: Albalanda) may describe the popular Ty Gwyn (English: White House) where Hywel's parliament fulfilled, to the monks' unstained woolen cloaks, or to the abbey's sedimentary rock. Whitland was dissolved 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 as well as the Abbey's layout can still be seen. An electoral ward of the same name exists consisting of the Henllanfallteg neighborhood with a complete population of 2,272.
