The village lies in the deep Cwm Trewyddel valley a mile or so from the sea at Ceibwr Bay: the junction sign seen here indicates the direction. The Welsh name Trewyddel means Irishman's place, suggestive of early visitations from the west, but the English name means Matilda's Grove and dates from Norman settlement. The village retains an English appearance although is linguistically Welsh notwithstanding a large proportion of holiday homes.
