GRONGAR HILL, an eminence in Cardigan; on the river Towy, 3 ½ miles WSW of Llandeilo-fawr. Its top commands a charming view; shows traces of an ancient camp; and has a hawthorn tree, under which Dyer is said to have written the fine poem containing the lines, - " Grongar Hill invites my song, Draw the landscape bright and strong; Grongar, in whose mossy cells Sweetly musing Quiet dwells."
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
