Llynclys

Llynclys (English: /ˈlʌŋklɪs/,[1] Welsh pronunciation: [ˈɬɨːnklɨːs])) 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.

The -clys element was in the past thought to be derived from llys, "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.

[3] Llynclys Common, from which there are fine views, is home to eight varieties of orchid and the brown argus butterfly.

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] Media related to Llynclys at Wikimedia Commons This Shropshire location article is a stub.
