Cwm-Yr-Eglwys

Cwm-yr-Eglwys is a hamlet located at a picturesque cove on the south-eastern side of the Dinas Island peninsula in the community of Dinas Cross between Fishguard and Newport, Pembrokeshire, in southwest Wales. The hamlet takes its name from the ruined church by the beach. Beach and facilitiesThere is a small beach with safe bathing, and it has earned a Seaside Award and a Green Coast Award (an award similar to a Blue Flag beach Award but for rural beaches). There is a narrow slipway for launching small boats, limited car parking (small charge applies at certain times), and a public toilet. There are also some holiday cottage lettings available. Dogs are allowed on the beach. From here there is access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path which runs round Dinas Island peninsula to Pwllgwaelod, a cove on the western side. Alternatively, Pwllgwaelod can be reached by a popular short direct walk (a little over a mile in length) through the valley that almost divides Dinas Head from the mainland. This is level and suitable for disabled access. RegattaCwm-yr-Eglwys is a popular location for holiday makers, and every year the Cwm-yr-Eglwys boat club reunites for the first two weeks of August to have sailing events and regattas. The annual inshore regatta is always a crowd puller with families taking part in a whole day of events of swimming races, rowing races, sandcastle competitions and many other activities throughout the day. There are regular in shore diving competitions and lots of activities for the children too. However it can be disruptive so if you prefer a quieter holiday avoid visiting within factory fortnight.
