Llandecwyn is a village stretching from the estuary of the Afon Dwyryd to the hills of the Rhinogs in Gwynedd, Wales. It is served by Llandecwyn railway station. The church lies at an altitude of a little over 150m, and is the only ancient church in Meirionnydd not on the coast (although the present building is actually Victorian). It is dedicated to Saint Tecwyn, and boasts spectacular views over northern parts of Cardigan Bay and across to Portmerion.
