Llanbadarn Fawr is a village immediately south of Aberystwyth in Ceredigion, Wales, sitting beside the estuary of the River Rheidol where the coast meets the shoulders of the Cambrian foothills. Its name and focal point come from St Padarn's Church, a site with early medieval associations and visible Norman and later medieval fabric, reflecting the long parish history of the area.
Today Llanbadarn Fawr feels part of the greater Aberystwyth urban area but retains a village community vibe, with local shops, a school and active community groups; many residents work at the university or hospital nearby. The locality is largely bilingual and benefits economically from tourism and student-related activity, while offering easy access to coastal promenades and walks into the surrounding countryside.
