I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Cwm-yr-Eglwys, or "Valley of the Church," is a stunning, secluded bay nestled on the northern coast of the Pembrokeshire Peninsula. Its sheltered, crystalline waters and small, sand-and-shingle beach are surrounded by lush coastal greenery and dramatic cliffs that define this rugged stretch of Welsh coastline.
Dominating the landscape are the evocative ruins of St. Brynach’s Church, standing as a silent sentinel against the backdrop of the bay. Once a medieval parish church, its history is deeply intertwined with the restless power of the sea. For centuries, the building served its local community but it eventually met its match in the violent storms of the mid-19th century.
The most devastating blow came during the "Great Charter Storm" of October 1859—the same tempest that infamously wrecked the Royal Charter off the coast of Anglesey. The ferocious seas at Cwm-yr-Eglwys breached the church walls, flooded the nave, and irreparably damaged the structure. Following the disaster, the church was eventually declared unsafe and largely demolished, leaving only the western gable standing as a haunting landmark.
Standing in the peaceful graveyard, surrounded by ancient headstones, you can look out across the gentle, sparkling waters of the bay and find it difficult to imagine the destructive power that once surged through this very spot.
