A small whitewashed church stands on the green slope above Mwnt beach, probably 13th-century and once a chapel of ease for sailors putting in along Cardigan Bay. Inside is a medieval font cut from Preseli stone. It is a well-known landmark on the coast path and stays open to visitors, with the little cove and headland below in the care of the National Trust.
