St. Cenydd’s Church is a beautiful church set in the heart of Llangennith. It was built around the 12th century on the site of a 6th-century llan, or churchyard. If a Welsh village has a 'Llan' in the name, it contains a church. The church has a long chancel, but it is the large, impressive square saddleback roofed tower with lancet windows that is a striking sight. The church was originally built on the site of a priory originally established by St. Ceyndd, who was born in the local area.
