LLANGWNADL HISTORY Llangwnadl (sometimes spelt Llangwnnadl) derives its name from St. Gwynhoedl and was one of the most important places on the Pilgrim's Route as the Saints made their way to Bardsey. Llangwnadl Curch should be on every visitors "to do" list when visiting the area. The original building was made of wattle, mud and timber, until Norman times when a stone building was erected. The first edifice was simple, being rectangular with a small window above the altar and a door in the west wall. During the Middle Ages the Shrine of Gwynhoedl became more and more popular and the popularity of the route made it necessary to enlarge the church, and therefore the south aisle was added and the arcade built. A large perpendicular window was also placed in the east wall, and a smaller window in the south wall and also the doorway was built in the south wall as it is today. In the Church there is a stone connected with Gwynhoedl which is reputed to be his tombstone. It was discovered during the renovations of 1940 and can be seen in the south wall of the Church, and on it is cut a Celtic Cross. No doubt that the cross was originally painted, as traces of red colouring are still visible. Another relic of those early years is a bronze sanctus bell, an early Celtic Quadrangle bell dating back to the 6th century. Unfortunately the original bell is no longer in the Church, but can be seen at the National Museum in Cardiff. Up until the start of the 19th century, when road and rail links improved, the bay at Porth Colmon was an important landing place for all types of goods for this part of Lleyn, and evidence of this can still be seen today. LLANGWNADL TODAY: Porth Colmon is a delightful little cove, a natural harbour with a small slipway for the launching of small craft. At low tide the bay opens out to join Penllech beach, (which we have already covered in our Guide to Tudweiliog). Plenty of rock pools for crabbing, and popular with fishermen. Access is via the narrow country lane signposted off the B4417 or by walking across Penllech beach.
