Abercych (or Abercuch, Welsh pronunciation: [ɑbərkiːx]) is a small village in the community of Manordeifi, northeast Pembrokeshire in South West Wales, located approximately half a kilometre from the tripoint of the counties of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. The village developed from a number of small settlements along the west bank of Afon Cych, which flows into the River Teifi nearby, giving the village its name, meaning "mouth of the Cych".
The village has two pubs, one of which brews its own beer, and two chapels.
Abercych is a village in the parish and community of Manordeifi, Pembrokeshire, of fewer than 100 houses scattered mostly along the sides of a small lane that runs along the western slopes of the Cych valley. It is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) from the nearest town, Newcastle Emlyn.
The village is rural with no industry except for a timber sawmill at the western end of the village. It has a village hall which hosts the Manordeifi Community Council meetings every other month, and two public houses - The Penrhiw Inn and The Nag's Head; the latter has its own microbrewery.
There is a number of small 'cottage industries' in the village including Sacred Hoop Magazine. Clynfyw, a 16th-century mansion rebuilt in the 18th century, is a Community interest company care farm.
An annual dance festival has been held in the village since 2013.
It is an ancient settlement, the Welsh placename of which means 'the mouth of the Afon Cych', referring to where the Cych joins the River Teifi. The earliest recorded settlement was a forge, now no longer in existence. The linear nature of the present village arose from the joining up of several discrete settlements: Pont Hercws, Forge Cych, Penrhiw, Pont Treseli and Abercych itself. There were about 30 houses in the 1840s.
