Capel Bangor (Welsh: Penllwyn) is a small village in Ceredigion, Wales, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Aberystwyth.
The A44 road and the seasonal Vale of Rheidol Railway pass through.
In the 2011 census, the population was 256, with 63% born in Wales.[1]
Church[edit]
The Church in Wales St. David's Church (Welsh: Eglwys Dewi Sant) was built to the classical designs of George Clinton of Aberystwyth between 1837 and 1839.[2]
Railway station[edit]
Capel Bangor railway station is on the seasonal Vale of Rheidol Railway. Unlike most other preserved railways in the United Kingdom, the Vale of Rheidol Railway did not have a period of closure between its being part of the national rail system and becoming a heritage railway, and so has operated a continuous service for residents and tourists.
