The community includes the villages and settlements of Penegoes, Forge, Derwenlas and Abergwydol.[3] also Aberhosan and Melinbyrhedyn. In 2011 the community had a population of 855 with 538 of them Welsh speakers.[4] It has the highest Welsh identity in Montgomeryshire, with 66% having some form of Welsh identity.[5]
"Cadfarch" is also the name of a 6th-century Welsh saint[6] and the church at Penegoes is dedicated to him.
