This bronze statue of Saint Crannog, positioned on the headland overlooking the beach, was crafted by the internationally renowned sculptor Sebastien Boyesen, a resident of Llangrannog.

The sculpture highlights his identity as a wandering missionary, depicted in humble attire and bearing the tools of his trade.

From here you'll also get a fantastic view over Llangrannog beach.
