Llandecwyn church

The ancient burial ground of Llandecwyn and its Victorian small Welsh church, which replaced a much older church in the 19th century, is on an ancient neolithic/bronze age way, now part of the newly signposted Ardudwy Way long distance path. Revd Jim Cotter started the Small Pilgrim Places Network at this church with magnificent views of Snowdonia and Cardigan Bay. The trial project lasted seven years. The church is no longer open daily but is well worth a visit to enjoy the great quiet of the churchyard, ancient lychgate, and ancient spiritual atmosphere. St. Tecwyn seems to have founded the first mission church here in the sixth century AD. The mother church for the district is St. Tanwg’s in the dunes at Llandanwg about seven miles south, founded circa AD435, often open in the summer. It is a cradle of British Christianity dating back to the decade after the leaving of the Roman legions.
