St. Cwyfan's Church at sunset on Anglesey Wales Uk


The most recognizable church on Anglesey, St. Cwyfan's, is popularly know as the little Church in the Sea (or eglwys bach y mor in Welsh). Perched on a tiny island called Cribinau, encircled by a sea wall, this simple medieval church dates back to the 12th century. It is thought to be dedicated to the Irish St. Kevin, who founded the monastery across the sea at Glendalough in Co Wicklow, Ireland. The church remains in use and is popular for weddings and baptisms.
