Penycwm (Welsh for "Head of the valley") is a small settlement on the A487 road near Newgale, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is part of the parish of Brawdy. At the other end of a valley to the coast is Penycwm beach, also known as Pwll March. [1]
The community's Independent Chapel, built in 1870, has now been converted into residential accommodation.[2]
Penycwm was also the location for the United Kingdom's first 5-star youth hostel.[3]
