About: Pontfadog

An Entity of Type: village, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Pontfadog is a village in the Ceiriog Valley west of Chirk in Wrexham County Borough, Wales; it is part of the community of Glyntraian. Like the neighbouring village of Glyn Ceiriog, the growth of Pontfadog is connected to the area's former quarrying industry. The village's name translates as "Bridge of Madoc", taking its name from a bridge over the River Ceiriog. Until April 2013 an oak tree stood near the village, the Pontfadog Oak, reputed to be the oldest in the United Kingdom at the time, but strong winds on the 17 April 2013 caused the tree to topple overnight.
