Mwnt beach (Wales)

Mwnt is a National Trust beach. It gets its name from the prominent steep conical hill, a landmark from much of Cardigan Bay, that rises above the beach. Mwnt was the site of an unsuccessful invasion by Flemings in 1155, and its defeat was long afterwards celebrated on the first Sunday in January as "Sul Coch y Mwnt". It is said that the bones of the defeated invaders would occasionally be visible under the sand when uncovered by windy conditions in the early 20th century. The Church of the Holy Cross (Welsh: Eglwys y Grog), above the edge to the beach, is an example of a medieval sailor's chapel of ease. The site is said to have been used since the Age of the Saints, but the present building is probably 14th century.     


We climed on th ehill nearby to take some nice photos and then went down the beach. It was indeed a pitty, but the clouds were faster than us, so I got quite cold after a while and we had to get back to the Cottage and drank some tea while cuddling in our beds.       



This was a really nice view!

An awsome view acutally!
Not sure but I think I saw a seal down there, but it was gone so quickly.
Yes, I really enjoyed it there. Even breathing in the salty air is here a bit different. But I like it!
As you see the weather changed, but it was still beautiful.
Have to admit, I felt a bit mystical there.
Even like Wales without sunny weather.
Just like in croatia, but totally different.
