Vortigerns stronghold, cursed to fail 3 times by Monks when its residents rejected Christianity. A former quarry village it was left abandoned for many years. Saved and now renovated it is home to The National Welsh Language centre offering residential courses. Great cafe/restaurant, setting for conferences and weddings. Home to the legend of Rhys and Meinir. Road down is very steep and twisty. Look out for the wild Eifl goats.

Nant Gwrtheyrn was an abandoned village in the 1970s following the closure of the quarries. The redundant houses, offices, chapel and shops constructed during the quarry’s heyday between 1860 and 1920,when over 2,000 men worked the granite, had fallen into ruin. A huge renovation project took place to restore the old buildings and land. It is now home to the National Welsh Language and Heritage Centre. It is a magical place with a very dramatic drive down. There is a nice cafe and walk down to the beach where on a quiet day you are most likely to see seals. There is an interesting Welsh tale to Nant Gwrtheyrn of Rhys and Meinir, a tragic love story on their wedding day where Meinir is lost in an old Oak Tree and is only discovered when lightning hits.
