Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well worth visiting. Information for visitors is well laid out and there is space to sit quietly and contemplate its history.

It was founded by St Hywyn, an early Welsh saint. It overlooks the Irish Sea and the present building is from 1115. This was an important embarkation point for the abbey on Bardsey Island which became a significant site of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. There were two gravestones dated from sixth century of two priests – Senacus and Veracius. This church and Bardsey Island were so significant in the middle ages that if you did a pilgrimage to both places, it was the same as a pilgrimage to Rome. There is parking in town, or at the car park about two blocks away.

Lovely church on the edge of the beach in Aberdaron. Very peaceful. The graveyard has some very old gravestones with a lot of history.

I do love this place. Been back 3 times in the last week or so. The church yard is v evocative. Some gorgeous tombstones and the wildflowers are a joy. Views out to sea enhanced if the waves are larger - crashing into the graveyard wall. Inside lots of restoration work has been done. A v welcoming community at morning communion. Bilingual service was v peaceful. Thanks everyone for the lovely welcome.

A lovely church, very well maintained and obviously cared for. We spoke with the lay preacher there (sorry can’t remember your name) who told us some of the history of the buildings as well as about the pilgrims that used to come on their way to Bardsey and redemption. A previous vicar wrote poetry to engage spiritually and a display showed lots of his poems. There were a few small embroidered wall hangings depicting scenes associated with the environment which were interesting. The gift shop had an interesting mix of items to buy at reasonable prices and we treated ourselves to some fish bowls.

What a beautiful little church on the shore at Aberdaron. Sound of the sea can be heard through the old stone walls.
