Dist:0.2km<br/>Smart looking farmhouse, I wonder is it a farm or a holiday home?

Dist:0.3km<br/>A chink in the landscape just above Bryn Salem chapel allows a view southwest down Cwm yr Esgyr and out across the sea to the unmistakable distant shape of Dinas Head.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Its sad to see a chapel rapidly falling into dereliction. I am surprised that at an earlier stage the surviving congregation and deacons, minister or religious affiliation could not handle matters to avoid this. The doors stand open, the windows broken and the interior vandalised. Surely it could make a good holiday let or even permanent home for someone with a little vision. And plenty of cash. And time.

Dist:0.4km<br/>On the north side, There is no sign of graves here so possibly the cemetery at Moylegrove was used for burials.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Ornamental stone decoration on top of gatepost is traditional and sometimes known as a 'babalwbi'.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Seems to have been unused almost as long as the building. Except by birds.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A deep russet painted dado runs around the interior walls with this stencil patterning along the top.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The pews have been removed (always a market for them) but evidently they were banked in several rows. Birds have used the light fitting as a perch. The pulpit, right, still retains its curtain.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The eastern wall which would have been behind the removed seating. Ghost of a hymn board above?

Dist:0.4km<br/>Would the congregation hang up their wet coats or keep them on for warmth?

Dist:0.4km<br/>They look as if they have been standing untouched here since the last service was conducted. Not clear how long ago this was: some old newspapers scattered around are dated 1987, so possibly 20 years?

Dist:0.4km<br/>The Coflein archive of Welsh historical monuments says of this chapel "Built in the Simple Round-Headed style, long-wall entry type." This must refer to the windows. The exterior walls are rough-cast rendered.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Open to all comers.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Still with its red velvet curtain although the steps have lost their carpeting. Cupboard doors lead to some storage space beneath the pulpit.
