*************

Llanedwen is a village in the community of Llanddaniel Fab, Ynys Môn, Wales, which is 126.5 miles (203.6 km) from Cardiff and 208.8 miles (336 km) from London.[1]

Llanddaniel Fab (or Llanddaniel-fab) is a village and community in the Welsh county of Isle of Anglesey. At the 2001 census it had a population of 699,[1] increasing to 776 at the 2011 census.[2]

It is near the prehistoric monument of Bryn Celli Ddu which was constructed in the late neolithic period. In the east of the community, by the Menai Strait, stands the country seat of the Marquess of Anglesey, Plas Newydd, parts of which date from the 14th century. The house has been owned by the National Trust since 1976.

During the 2001 United Kingdom foot-and-mouth crisis, many sheep and cattle were slaughtered in the area.[3]

The village has its own community council and its county council representative is Hywel Eifion Jones, who has held the post since May 1999. Amenities include a post office, primary school (Ysgol Parc y Bont), and a 12-hole golf course.[4]

Probably the village's most famous son is Tecwyn Roberts (1925-1988), who became NASA’s first Flight Dynamics Officer with Project Mercury that put the first American into space. Roberts was born at Trefnant Bach cottage in Llanddaniel Fab and was a former pupil of Ysgol Parc y Bont. After serving as a member of the Avro Arrow project team and the Space Task Group, Roberts transferred to NASA where he eventually became chief of the Manned Flight Support Division, chief of the Network Engineering Division during the Apollo Program and later Director of Networks at Goddard Space Flight Center.[5]
