Llynclys (Template:IPAc-en,[1] Script error: No such module "IPA".)) is a small village in Shropshire, England, in the civil parish of Llanyblodwel. It lies north of Pant at the crossroads of the A483 and B4396, where there are several houses and a pub, the White Lion.
Etymology
The name Llynclys is based on the Welsh word for lake, Script error: No such module "Lang"., and Llynclys Pool still lies near to the village. The -Script error: No such module "Lang". element was in the past thought to be derived from Script error: No such module "Lang"., "palace" or "court", and the lake, supposed to be of extraordinary depth, was said to contain a drowned city or palace with various legends attached to it.[2][3]
Countryside
Much of the area around Llynclys Hill to the west is common land; there are a number of cottages and smallholdings probably built by workers in the area's lead mines and limestone quarries.[3] Llynclys Common, from which there are fine views, is home to eight varieties of orchid and the brown argus butterfly.[3]
Railways
Llynclys was formerly on the Cambrian Railways line from Oswestry to Welshpool. The Cambrian Heritage Railways are now re-building sections of the line as a heritage railway. Llynclys South railway station is in operation, whilst the original Llynclys station remains unused of 2010.
Plane Crash
On the 30 October 1941 a Royal Air Force, Handley Page Hampden Mk I (P1294) crashed near the White Lion pub while on a training flight in bad weather, all four crew died[4]
