Nefyn history
The history of the area can be traced back to 300 BC with the Iron Age hillfort of Garn Boduan overlooking Nefyn. The town was the location of the court of the commote of Dinlaen: part of the cantref of Llŷn. Edward I of England held a jousting tournament in the town in 1284 to celebrate his victory over the Welsh.
Parish church and origin of the name Nefyn
The foundations of the old St Mary’s parish church date from the 6th century. It would have been an important staging post for pilgrimages to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) The old church is no longer a place of worship but houses a museum dedicated to maritime history.
20th century and after
Nefyn and District Golf Club was formed in 1907. The current course is set high on the sea cliffs of the narrow peninsula overlooking Porthdinllaen bay. During the Second World War, the Royal Air Force built a Chain Home radar station to the south-west.
