Many thanks to everyone who came to the AGM at the Beach Hut April 2026. Thanks to Jane for hosting us. We now have 21 members ranging in age from 16 upwards, and lots planned for the coming year – a village garden party, another beach BBQ, the revival of the Surf Club, plans to tie in with the Eisteddfod y Garreg Las which is being held so close to us, and lots more.
Wayne Lewis from 4Llan was invited to speak to us about recent developments; we were especially interested in their support for the Pontgarreg School Field and what might become of it, affordable housing ideas and a plan for a Local Energy Club.
4Llan serves four local parishes, and was set up to support community projects. It is a community benefit organisation, not for profit. It is a vehicle for doing things – getting funding, setting up groups to move projects forward, seeking advice and funding.
Housing – speaking to Barcud, looking at sites for housing, talking to landowners, locals, planning. Pontgarreg field for example – we have met with community, council etc. General feeling so far is they want green space and maybe a few houses. Villagers would keep hold of the land and be very much involved in design and running of it. An asset lock means it could not be sold on.
Energy – a local famer expressed interest in a turbine towards Synod Inn; this has been pursued with the National Grid. It’s near the substation. Initial feasibility study commissioned, environmental and technical assessments. PV and turbine. Part feed to local business direct, then an energy local club – 100 houses in the area to buy the cheap electricity. This avoids pylons. Batteries can minimise waste. Supported by the Welsh Government for Smart Local Energy Systems. Grants, share issue and a commercial loan. Funders are keen.
Cymuned – On 25 April at Caerwedros Hall the new swift tower is being opened by an expert. Other projects are welcome.
Getting involved – £10 for a year. Organisations can join.
Members can join meetings for specific projects, suggest ideas for projects and spaces to use, gain support for projects and hear all the latest updates.

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.
Please visit the website here.
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.
Ewch i wefan yma.
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.

Gwaith wedi dechrau ar yr ardd. Diolch yn fawr iawn iawn pawb am eich cefnogaeth ar JustGiving. Bydd e’n le hyfryd am y cerflun Cranogwen.
Work has started on the garden. Thank you SO much everyone for your generous support on the JustGiving page. This will be a lovely spot for Cranogwen’s statue.

Mae Pwyllgor Lles Llangrannog wedi dechrau ar y gwaith o adnewyddu Gardd y Pentre sydd wedi’i lleoli rhwng capel Bancyfelin a rhaeadr Y Gerwn.
Dyn ni eisoes wedi codi dros £2,000 ac wedi derbyn grant gan Gyngor Sir Ceredigion i gefnogi’r gwaith. Ein nod yw codi £8000 a’n gobaith yw cael eich help chi i wireddu’r freuddwyd hon.
Cafodd cynllun yr ardd ei greu gan Gail Robinson, person lleol sy’n arbenigo mewn gerddi. Roedd hyn yn dilyn ymgynghoriad ymhlith aelodau o’r gymuned. Teifi Landscaping sy’n gwneud y gwaith. Bydd llinellau o farddoniaeth Cranogwen yn cael eu hymgorffori yn y llawr carreg newydd. Yn y cynllun hefyd, gallwch weld mynedfa newydd mwy diogel a lleoedd i blannu planhigion o bob math.
Crewyd yr ardd yn 19…., ac yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwetha mae’r ardd wedi cael ei chynnal gan nifer o arddwyr ac adeiladwyr lleol. Bydd y cynllun newydd yn cadw rhai agweddau o’r ardd wreiddiol fel y waliau llechi ond bydd y datblygiad newydd yn lleoliad perffaith ar gyfer cerflun Cranogwen, ein harwres leol. Dyn ni’n gweithio mewn cydweithrediad â Thîm Prosiect Cymunedol Cranogwen a Monumental Welsh Women.
Y gobaith hefyd yw casglu digon o arian i ddarparu byrddau gwybodaeth am fywyd a gwaith Cranogwen a hefyd dathlu gwaith caled nifer o bentrefwyr yn yr ardd dros y blynyddoedd.
Llangrannog Welfare Committee have begun work on renovating the beloved Village Garden, located between Banc-y-Felin chapel and Y Gerwn waterfall.
We have already raised over £2,000 and have won a grant from Ceredigion County Council to support the work. We aim to raise another £8,000 and hope you can help us realise this dream.
The garden design shown was created by local garden expert Gail Robinson following consultation with community members. Work is being done by Teifi Landscaping. The design incorporates some of Cranogwen’s poetry, which will be set into the new stone floor. The plan shows a new, safer entrance, new planters and space for hardy, annual plants.
Built in the early 1900s, the garden has been further developed and maintained by successive local gardeners and builders. The new design aims to preserve aspects of the garden such as the original slate walls, and build on it to provide a perfect site for a statue of Cranogwen, our local heroine. We are working in partnership with the Cranogwen Community Monument team and Monumental Welsh Women to bring this idea to life.
We also hope to have enough money to provide information boards to illustrate Cranogwen’s life and importance, as well as celebrate the hard work of many villagers in the garden over the years.
