Henfynyw is a small, quiet parish and village on the coastal fringe of Ceredigion in Wales, set on rolling farmland with long views out to Cardigan Bay. It lies on the coastal road between Aberystwyth and Borth, and its character is very much rural - a mix of farming, a few commuters to the university town nearby and visitors who come for walking and the coastal scenery.

Locally the village is best known for its simple parish church dedicated to St David, which preserves early Christian stones and a sense of deep, often quiet history; cottages, hedged lanes and a small, Welsh-speaking community give Henfynyw a traditional feel rather than a tourist-centred one. The local economy remains rooted in agriculture and small-scale services, with community life reflecting the rhythms of the countryside.
