Bleddfa is a village in which lies on the road from Knighton to Penybont and is located in the community of Llangunllo, Powys, Wales. It is 5 miles from Knighton, 57 miles (92 km) from Cardiff and 141 miles (226 km) from London.[citation needed]
Two hillforts belonging to around 200 B.C guard the village: Clog Hill above the village, and Llysin Hill to the west.[1]
St Mary Magdalene's Church, Bleddfa dates from the 13th century. In the 19th century part of the building was used as a schoolroom. It is a Grade I listed building.[2]
In 1766, the Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose ideas were instrumental in underpinning the French Revolution, was offered lodgings in a 16th-century grange house called 'Monaughty' which was near Bleddfa. He was so enamoured by Wales during his stay that he hoped Wales would be his final resting place (though he eventually died in Ermenonville, France) [3][4]
