About Llangothlin

Llangothlin is a small rural locality on the Northern Tablelands in the New England region of New South Wales, approximately 11 kilometres north of Guyra within the Armidale Regional Council area. With a population of just 104 residents at the 2021 Census, it covers a spacious 134 square kilometres of rolling tableland country. The locality shares the postcode 2365 with Guyra, where the postcode median taxable income sits at $31,350, reflecting the modest pastoral economy of the surrounding district.

Named after the Welsh town of Llangollen in Denbighshire, Llangothlin has a rich pastoral history dating back to the 1880s when it gained both a railway station and a post office. The nearby Little Llangothlin Nature Reserve, a Ramsar-listed internationally significant wetland, protects a 120-hectare lagoon that is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. While the railway closed in the 1970s, the area remains a peaceful retreat surrounded by grazing land and native bushland, with the town of Guyra providing essential services nearby.

Llangothlin falls under postcode 2365 and is governed by Armidale Regional Council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
