St Baglan's is small and steeped in history. From the circular churchyard, the 6th-century inscribed stone, the "pirate" grave, the cross slabs, medieval roof and Georgian pews, it's a deeply special place.
Today, the church is exceptionally picturesquely situated and combines medieval (nave) and early modern elements (chapel, porch, rebuilt chancel). The eastern window was built in the 14th century and was put again in the wall during the reconstruction in the 19th century.
St Baglan stands in splendid isolation in a wonderfully romantic position overlooking Caernarfon Bay reverberating with echoes of the renowned Mabinogion tales.
