Entering Mynachlog-ddu
The name of this remote Preseli village is usually thought to derive from the Welsh for 'black monks' but it has also been suggested it may be a corruption of mynach Llandudoch/the monks of Llandudoch which is the Welsh name for St Dogmael's where there is an abbey to which the village belonged (the same saint also the patron of the parish church).

Ffynnon-wen
Farm at a road junction just west of Mynachlog-ddu. The name means white, or blessed, spring - it can still be seen in emerging from the bank opposite.

Children's playground in Mynachlog-ddu
The playground has recently been refurbished. Bird boxes have been attached to various parts of the equipment too, such as the one on the corner of the wooden 'castle' at the back. This begs the question as to how well the nestboxes are used if the playground is in regular use in the springtime?

Bethel Chapel, Mynachlog-ddu
This is the only church in the village and there is no Anglican church locally. The building has been rebuilt twice since the original one from 1794, with a subsequent refurbishment in 1940.
