Llanon Beach, situated in Ceredigion, Wales, is a picturesque pebble and shingle beach offering stunning views of Cardigan Bay, steeped in Welsh history and natural beauty.
Llanon Beach takes its name from Saint Non, the mother of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales. The beach is composed of soft pebbles that lead to larger rocks at the rear, with a wide expanse of sand visible at low tide. The beach is encircled by towering clay sea cliffs, providing wide views over the waters of Cardigan Bay.
The region is steeped in Welsh history, with both Saint Non and Saint David believed to have lived in the area around 500 AD. The beach and surrounding landscape also feature remnants of medieval fish traps, constructed by Cistercian monks using large stones to form deep pools to trap fish.
The beach backs onto a lush rural landscape, which was historically used for growing barley, used for brewing illicit alcohol in the 1800s. The area is also characterised by the presence of fish traps dotted along the shore, a testament to the region's rich history.
In the vicinity of Llanon Beach lies Llansantffraed Beach, a lesser-known beach featuring a mix of sandy and pebbly areas, surrounded by lush greenery and scenic cliffs. The Ceredigion Coast Path runs nearby, offering scenic walking routes along the coastline with breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding landscape.
