Mynwent Llanddewi Aberarth Churchyard

Safle trawiadol mynwent Eglwys Llanddewi Aberarth a edrycha ar draws Bae Ceredigion. Fel y disgwylir claddwyd llawer o forwr yn y fynwent. Yma hefyd yw man claddu Hywel Teifi Edwards, llenor, ysgolhaig, a gwladgarwyr a Syr Geraint Evans, y bariton enwog. The striking location of Llanddewi Aberarth Churchyard overlooking Cardigan Bay. As expected many mariners are buried here and the churchyard is also the resting place of Hywel Teifi Edwards, writer, scholar and patriot and Sir Geraint Evans, the famous baritone.

Pont Aberarth

Pont Aberarth a adeiladwyd yn 1849 ar ol i'r bont flaenorol gael ei dinsitrio gan lif yn 1846. Llifa Afon Arth - un o nifer o afonydd a enwir ar ol anifeilaid yng Nghymru - i mewn i Fae Ceredigion gerllaw. Pont Aberarth was built in 1849 after the previous bridge was destroyed by a flood. 'Arth' is the Welsh name for 'bear' - one of many river names in Wales named after animals. The river flows into Cardigan Bay a short distance away.

A487 near Aberarth

The village is down the hill to the left. In the middle distance is Aberaeron, and further away (10.4 km) is New Quay.

The rear half of a bus near Aberaeron

This section of bus has been sited here, I think, to act as either a commentary box or admission / access control for a horse-show, or similar event. There are paddocks with horses adjacent and in the past the farm may have hosted such things. The black plastic bin is half full of beer bottles. The yellow porcelain loo (just visible right of shot) has just been fly-tipped I think.

The footpath joins a field access track here and offers great views northwards.

The footpath carries me across fields towards the church sited on a domed hill above the sea.

Part of the graveyard at Llanddewi Aberarth

A significant number of the graves here carry the title 'Master Mariner' below the names of the male deceased, obviously the resting place of choice for those seafarers of the locality, and with its position here I can see why.
