Things to see and do St. Dogmaels (Llandudoch)

Walking distance (3 km): Head north-east on High Street towards Feidr Fawr, then continue on the B4546. Very vast white sandy beach at the mouth of the Teifi estuary, absolutely impressive when it is at low tide and swept by the winds! This beach, the northernmost in Pembrokeshire, marks the beginning, or end, of the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

On the car park (paying in summer), behind the dunes, there is a small cafeteria serving ice cream and good pasties.

The date of the same time as the abbey (th century) and would probably have been the property of the monks. The aeronautical engineer Michael Hall bought the ruins a few years ago to put it in operation! This is done today. The wheel rotates again in the small river and you sell flour and breads made from it.

We show you everything about the Y Felin machinery, one of Wales'last water mills, during a pleasant guided tour.

Next to the church stand the picturesque remains of an ancient abbey. It was built in 1115 by Robert Fitz Martin. In the nave of the ^13th-century abbey church, you can see the remains of medieval floor tiles.

Next door is Coach House, converted into a museum housing an exhibition of beautifully carved medieval stones and intriguing engraved Christian stones. The Sagranus stone, dating from the ^6th century, is the oldest and features inscriptions in Ogham, the ancient Irish alphabet.

On the banks of the River Teifi, the stone called "Blessing Stone"is known to have been used in pre-Christian times and may have been extracted from a cromlech. Legend has it that the spirit of the river appeared here in the form of a fish. When the monks settled in the village, they recycled the aura of this stone, blessing the fishermen before they set out to sea.

Today, we see nothing but flat stone, sheltered by shrubs forming a plant niche around it. Very nice view.
