Churchyard and ruined church, Cwm yr Eglwys All that remains of the church of St Brynach, the rest having been washed away by the so-called Royal Charter Storm of October 1859. A somewhat melancholy sight, all the more so on a drizzly afternoon. As for the meaning of the name, if this were Cornwall rather than West Wales, the wording on the map might well be 'Church Cove'.
