Culture
The United Kingdom Census 2001 reported that over 40% of the residents of Penparcau spoke Welsh and used Welsh daily, larger than any other individual census zone within that area, when compared to the other census data sets. As a combined zone, Aberystwyth South (Penparcau and Trefechan) has more Welsh language users.
The area has a long literary tradition. The famous bard/academic writer D. Gwenallt Jones (David James Jones) lived in the area. More recently another resident, Ifan Morgan Jones, won the Daniel Owen Memorial Prize for his novel at the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Education must, then, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
