St Bridget
Lower Dyserth, Denbighshire
An historic church dating from around 1430, its glory being the famous Jesse Window and the remains of two Celtic standing crosses now housed with the church.
Nestling on the west facing slopes of the Clwydian Ridge, amongst rolling fields and wooded hillsides, is the simple and ancient church of Ss Mael & Sulien in the hamlet of Cwm. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this rural setting, watch the buzzards wheel and the swallows swoop overhead, whilst you take in the expansive view.
The aspect embraces the Vale of Clwyd, the mountains of the Snowdon Range, the Great Orme and the coastline as it stretches to the west. The church is situated directly adjoining various walking networks, including a route through the adjoining woods to nearby Dyserth (with its waterfall and celebrated medieval church windows), which in turn also links to the national Offas Dyke and Clwydian Range long-distance paths.
Enjoy the cool, calm peace of the simple church interior with its interesting carved stones and Medieval glass for simple meditation. Start, end or pause for a break during your walk in this beautiful place. There is a nearby public house which serves food and drink (call first to check opening times - http://www.bluelioncwm.co.uk/) and car parking is available.
