St Gwynhoedl's Church

Llŷn Peninsula


Part of the chain of pilgrim's churches leading to Bardsey, pretty St Gwynhoedl's looks like three churches fused together. It still has its 15th- and 16th-century roof timbers and a Celtic Cross and bronze sanctus bell dating from around AD 600. Check out the carved font; the crowned figure represents Henry VIII. The church is 5 miles north of Aberdaron, off the B4417.
