Most of the gravestones in the little churchyard are from the 17th century. If you pass them and go out through a gate, you come to the Conwy where it's crossed by a graceful suspension footbridge from the 1930s. At its center, the bridge is about 15 feet above the river. The churchyard lies on one side, a broad field on the other. It's hard to believe, looking down at the deep, peaceful water, that the bridge was built because an earlier one was washed away by a flood in 1928.
Flooding is still a danger, especially in the spring.
The Llugwy and the Lledr are the others. Along the Llugwy, a walker passes fenced-off areas being modified for flood control. It's a tourist center, and in the summer the streets are full of people, bathers splash in the stony shallows and children play on the large village green. There's a golf course. There's a caravan park.
