Above: Capel Gellionnen (Gellionnen Chapel)
This Unitarian chapel is remotely situated on the upland Mynydd Gellionnen, one of the highest regions of Llangyfelach parish. A chapel for protestant dissenters was first established here in 1692. The present building was erected in 1801 by Rev Josiah Rees. Learn more about Gellionnen Chapel on my Welsh Churches & Chapels Collection and on the Gathering the Jewels website and the GENUKI Llangyfelach Chapels Database.
Above: View looking northeast from Mynydd Gellionnen, across the valley of the Upper Clydach river into neighbouring Llangiwg parish.
The flat-topped hill left of centre (framed) is Mynydd Allt-y-grug; to the right of Allt-y-grug is the Swansea Valley; to its left is Cefn Gwrhyd (Gwrhyd ridge). The community in the right middle distance is Pontardawe.
