The tiny seaside village of Llangrannog lies around and above a tiny cove off Cardigan Bay. The sheltered beach lies beneath high, striated cliffs topped with fine pasture and banked with gorse.
Wild flowers abound on the cliffs and roadsides.
The original Celtic settlement lay above the present village surrounding the Church where it was invisible to the Norse raiders who plagued the coast in long ships. The current church, mainly Norman in character, stands on the old site. In more recent times the village moved towards the shore and earned its living by ship-building, fishing, smuggling, and lime importation. In the days of toll roads local farmers could avoid payment by shipping lime in and burning it within their village. An old stone lime kiln can still be seen incorporated into the boatyard wall.
