Mwnt (Welsh: [ˈmʊnt]) is an ancient parish in Ceredigion, Wales, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) north of Cardigan.
It gets its name from the prominent steep conical hill (Foel y Mwnt), a landmark from much of Cardigan Bay, that rises above the beach to a height of 76 m (249 ft), and was formerly anglicised as Mount.
[3] The Irish Sea off Mwnt is rich in wildlife, being a regular summer home to dolphins, seals and porpoises.
[4] The Church of the Holy Cross (Welsh: Eglwys y Grog) is an example of a medieval sailor's chapel of ease.
[5] The beach (but not the church) is owned by the National Trust, who exercise a conservation remit over both.
