Foel y Mwnt is a near-perfect cone, 76 metres or 249 feet of grass rising from the cliff above the beach. From much of Cardigan Bay it works as a navigation mark; sailors have been steering by it for at least a thousand years. The Welsh word mwnt simply means a mound, anglicised on older maps as Mount. The hill gives the place its name, and the place gives the hill the kind of dramatic setting — green slope plunging down to white-sand beach plunging into Atlantic blue — that explains why summer holidaymakers reach for their cameras within ninety seconds of arrival.

Foel y Mwnt is a glacial mound — a residue of the last ice age, when the ice sheets that ground out Cardigan Bay left behind small rounded hills of harder rock. Geologically it is nothing special. Scenically, in context, it is extraordinary. From the top the view runs north up Ca...

The beach below the cliff has been awarded a Green Coast Award — the rural equivalent of a Blue Flag, recognising water quality and natural beauty rather than urban amenities.

In 1155, a group of Flemish settlers from Pembrokeshire attempted to invade and seize the Mwnt area. They were beaten so decisively that the victory was celebrated for centuries afterwards. Until at least the 18th century, the first Sunday in January was kept locally as Sul Coch ...

The site has been used since the Age of the...

Mwnt is a hamlet in name only. There is no shop, no pub, no village proper — just a small group of dwellings, a car park, a small church, a cove and a hill. The Wales Coast Path passes through; the parking gets full in July; the National Trust manages the beach and surrounding gr...
