Brief description

https://cadw.gov.wales/open-doors-st-ciwgs-church-llangiwg

"A former parish church, with medieval fabric, on a 6th century hilltop site above the Swansea Valley, with farreaching views. It was rebuilt c.1500, altered and reroofed in 1812, and re-windowed in the late 19th century. Its Norman font links it with an earlier building. It houses part of an early Christian cross, dated 9th century, and has Georgian pews and panelling. There is a medieval stoup, a leper's window and spring-fed holy well. The church is said to have been founded by Ciwg, saint and hermit."

Directions

"Access is by car, cycle or foot. The most accessible route is via Rhydyfro on the A474 from Pontardawe. As you leave Rhydyfro, turn right just before the Travellers Well pub onto the single-track Gwrhyd Road and continue uphill until you come to a signpost right for the church. Continue along this road until you reach the car park opposite the church, where there is parking for a number of cars (carsharing is appreciated). There is a small slope up to the gate entrance, a grassed path to the church, a shallow step into the porch and a ramped step into the church."
