Tegryn village centre Tegryn is a small, mainly agricultural community, high in the Preseli hills, with a pub, post office, two garages, chapel and an area primary school in the village. Within living memory that the village contained, in addition, 4 shops, 2 tailors, a seamstress, a cobbler, an egg trader, a bus proprietor, and in close proximity to the village – a woollen mill and a blacksmith. Nevertheless, even with reduced amenities it remains a thriving centre of local rural life. The garage on the left in the image looks as if it hasn't changed much in recent decades; the pub is straight ahead. The road leads north in the direction of Cardigan. The community has an interesting website with lots of local information: <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.northpembrokeshire.co.uk/index.php" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.northpembrokeshire.co.uk/index.php">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
