Cilmery or Cilmeri is a village and civil community in Brecknockshire two-and-a-half miles west of Builth Wells on the A483 road to Llandovery. The village is served by Cilmeri railway station on the Heart of Wales Line. In the United Kingdom Census 2001, Cilmeri parish had a population of 438 and 191 households. [1]
The village is famous for being close to the spot where the last native Prince of Wales of direct descent, Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, was slain in a skirmish by soldiers in the service of King Edward I, on 11 December 1282.
