Mwnt

Mwnt is known mainly for it’s beautiful cove beach and surrounding walks.  It is a very small community consiting of only a few homes.  Mwnt is located in the South of Ceredigion, West Wales outside of Cardigan(About 7km)

Approaching Mwnt you will notice a prominent steep conical hill, this is where the small area Gets it’s name from.

The Flemings invaded the area with no success in 1155, long afterwards the defeat was celebrated on the first Sunday in January as “Sul Coch y Mwnt”.
Rumour has it that the bones of the defeated invaders would occasionally be seen under the sand when uncovered by windy conditions in the early twentieth century.
