Dist:0.3km<br/>The village lies in the deep Cwm Trewyddel valley a mile or so from the sea at Ceibwr Bay: the junction sign seen here indicates the direction. The Welsh name Trewyddel means Irishman's place, suggestive of early visitations from the west, but the English name means Matilda's Grove and dates from Norman settlement. The village retains an English appearance although is linguistically Welsh notwithstanding a large proportion of holiday homes.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Colourful house on back lane between the village and Trereffith farm - the name means Holly Ridge. The Crocosmia in flower along the wall is a very common sight in West Wales: it naturalises easily.
