Llanilar

Llanilar is a village and community in Ceredigion, Wales, about 4 kilometres southeast of Aberystwyth. It is the eponym of the hundred of Ilar. The population at the 2011 census was 1,085. The community includes Rhos-y-garth.

In Welsh placenames, many smaller communities are named for their parish , having grown up around the local church. This town's name honours its patron saint, although it is disputed whether that is the church's presumed founder Ilar , listed as a member of Cadfan's mission and a martyr but now almost totally forgotten, or the more famous Hilary who was bishop of Poitiers in France and is still celebrated by the Anglican and Catholic churches in Wales.
