St Tanwg's Church, Llandanwg, Gwynedd
Discover St Tanwg’s Church at Llandanwg, known as “the church in the sand.” Founded in the 5th–6th century, it is one of the oldest Christian foundations in Britain. Hidden among the sand dunes just steps from the sea, this Grade I listed building holds relics of early Christianity, including inscribed stones from the 5th and 6th centuries and a long pillar stone thought to have come from Ireland. The medieval nave dates from the 13th century, with later additions in the 15th and 17th centuries.
The church has often been buried by drifting sand, dug out repeatedly over the centuries. In its churchyard lies the grave of Welsh poet Sion Phillips, a contemporary of Shakespeare, drowned in 1620 while crossing from Shell Island. Worship here is accompanied by the sound of the sea, making St Tanwg’s a truly atmospheric place where history, faith, and nature meet.
