St Gwynhoedl’s stands out on the western Llŷn at Llangwnnadl, a pilgrim church on the way to Bardsey and unusual for being triple-aisled — three parallel naves under one roof, widened over the centuries as more pilgrims came through. It’s dedicated to a sixth-century saint. A quiet whitewashed building in a farming hamlet, usually left open.
