St Ishmael's

Nestling in a fold in the landscape, St Ishmael's is much older than it appears. The remains of a Norman motte, St Ishmael's Tump, stand on the outskirts of the village.

St Ishmaels ChurchThe lovely little church lies further down the valley, near the sea, where an early monastery once stood.  During the Dark Ages, this was one of the seven Bishop Houses of Dyfed.  Within the church, its churchyard divided by a stream, are 10th century carved gravestones.  Footpaths lead from the church through a wooded valley to the sea, linking with the coastal footpath.
