Stoically positioned above the pebbly beach, the left half St Hywyn's Church dates from 1100 while the right half was added 400 years later, to accommodate the pilgrims. Inside there's information about local history, as well as two 6th-century memorial stones and a medieval font and holy-water stoup. Welsh poet RS Thomas was the minister here from 1967 to 1978 – an appropriate setting for his bleak, impassioned work.
