CWM-ELAN, a seat in Cwm-Toyddwr parish, Radnor; on the river Elan, 5 miles SW of Rhayader. It was built by Mr. Groves; passed to R. Peel, Esq.; and belongs now to L. Otway, Esq. The park around it has been described as the "paradise of the district, created, like Hafod, out of bare cultureless land;" and the vale is the subject of Bowles' "Combe Elian, "-where he says-
Pass the hill,
And through the woody hanging, at whose feet
The tinkling Elian winds, pursue thy way.
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
