Cinio Nadolig – Christmas Dinner 2025

This year’s Over 60s Christmas Dinner was held in the Pentre Arms on 10 December 2025.

We had around 40 Llangrannog residents come together to celebrate the season, including new additions to the village Jill and Nigel Davies who have just moved into Bryngobaith (above the Patio Cafe). Welcome to them!

Johnathan Rees was stirring as ever on the fiddle, and there was some lovely singing with some surprising voices (in a good way!). Chairman of the Welfare Committee Adrian Brice made a short speech thanking villagers for their support and Committee members for their hard work. Appreciation was also given to Mike Rutherford and the staff for another fantastic meal. Thanks to everyone who gave a donation towards the cost of the meal, it’s much appreciated to allow us to continue our work. 

If you know of anyone who is over 60 and has a Llangrannog postcode, let us know and we can add them to the list for next year (they can bring a friend). We don’t like to ask, are you 60?! 

A new bench

The bench on the cliff path above Carreg Bica heading north to Lochtyn has been replaced by the Welfare Committee. This bench was made locally with larch. Members of the Committee walked the bench down the hill from Lochtyn quarry to its new home. Many thanks to all involved, especially Gerry for leveling and setting the bench in place. 

The information board that was next to the bench is broken. We are looking into funding/designs for new information boards for here and to replace the old ones on the path from Lochtyn to Gwersyll yr Urdd. We hope to complete work on this project in 2026. 

The small ‘leaning’ bench that overlooks Lochtyn peninsula (below) is damaged and we will also fix this when possible. (This bench was installed by a local farmer so the Council/National Trust do not take responsibility for it.) 

Public Toilets in Llangrannog

The threat of closure of the public loos in Llangrannog has caused quite a stir! We are supporting the Community Council and have created a petition and posters to let everyone know what’s happening. Many people have contacted our local representatives and let their feelings be known online. 

Information about the situation has been in the Cambrian News and TivySide, on Wales Online, S4C online, Yahoo News and Facebook. 1668 is the current number of signatures on the petition. 

Gwybodaeth am sefyllfa toiledau Llangrannog wedi bod yn y Cambrian News, Wales Online, Newyddion S4C ar lein, Yahoo News a’r Teifiseid. 1668 yw’r nifer o lofnodion ar y ddeiseb hyd yma.

Diolch pawb! 

Duck Race

The August Bank Holiday Duck Race was a massive success due in no small part to the fabulous weather. 

Thanks to everyone who supported via volunteering on the day, buying ducks or helping to collect them as they made their attempts to escape into the sea! 

Become a Friend of Llangrannog

llangrannog

Llangrannog is unique: stunning natural beauty, rich culture, language and heritage, award-winning eateries, and a strong sense of community that extends from the heart of the village and its residents to those who own businesses or work here, were born and brought up here, have connections through family, participate in one of our community groups or projects, spent time as children at the Urdd, own homes here or visit regularly.

Friends of Llangrannog is an initiative – operated on a volunteer basis by Llangrannog Welfare Committee – dedicated to raising funds to ensure that our village remains the amazing place that we all love. We are hugely grateful to everyone who donates, whether in one-off or regular gifts. The funds raised help us to ensure: the upkeep of communal spaces, clean beaches, activities and opportunities for our young people, thriving Welsh language and culture, celebrations of our past, present and future, a sense of connection for our older residents and much else that keeps Llangrannog special.

Dewch yn ffrind i Langrannog

Mae Llangrannog yn unigryw: harddwch naturiol syfrdanol, diwylliant, iaith a threftadaeth gyfoethog, bwytai arobryn, ac ymdeimlad cryf o gymuned sy’n ymestyn o galon y pentref a’i drigolion i’r rhai sy’n berchen ar fusnesau neu’n gweithio yma, wedi’u geni a’u magu yma, sydd â chysylltiadau trwy deulu, yn cymryd rhan yn un o’n grwpiau neu brosiectau cymunedol, wedi treulio amser fel plant yn yr Urdd, yn berchen ar gartrefi yma neu’n ymweld yn gyson. Mae Ffrindiau Llangrannog yn fenter – a weithredir yn wirfoddol gan Bwyllgor Lles Llangrannog – sy’n ymroddedig i godi arian i sicrhau bod ein pentref yn parhau i fod y lle anhygoel yr ydym i gyd yn ei garu.

Rydym yn hynod ddiolchgar i bawb sy’n rhoi rhoddion, boed ar ffurf rhoddion untro neu rai rheolaidd. Mae’r arian a godir yn ein helpu i sicrhau: bod mannau cymunedol yn cael eu cynnal, traethau glân, gweithgareddau a chyfleoedd i’n pobl ifanc, iaith a diwylliant Cymraeg yn ffynnu, dathliadau ein gorffennol, presennol a dyfodol, ymdeimlad o gysylltiad i’n trigolion hŷn a llawer arall sy’n cadw Llangrannog yn arbennig.

Gwaith Fynnon Fair

Back in July Gerry and Sarah got busy strimming and tidying the Fynnon Fair site.

We are working on getting an information board to explain the history and importance of the site to the village. (For previous work, see here.)

The idea is to link up all of our assets – the Village Garden, Cranogwen, lime kiln and so on – and have a walking/history trail leaflet and matching information boards for all of them. We will be looking at securing funding for this next year.
 

Car Park Field Maintenance

The free car park field at the top of the village has had the grass cut and the orchard trees tidied up. Thanks to Committee members Gerry and Adrian for their equipment and skills.

The field is owned by the Council, but the Committee has in recent years planted a few trees, sited some benches and aimed to keep the grass cut in order that more people can benefit from it. A toilet will be installed for the summer, paid for by the Communit Council.
