Cwm Gwaun is a small, secluded community in north Pembrokeshire, Wales, tucked into the steep-sided Gwaun Valley through which the River Gwaun runs. The valley feels broadly unspoilt, with ancient woodlands, meadows and hedgerows, a patchwork of surviving medieval field patterns and a microclimate that keeps the landscape remarkably lush compared with surrounding farmland.
Locally the area retains a strong Welsh-speaking tradition and a close-knit, rural character: farming, forestry and small-scale tourism underpin the economy, while narrow lanes and isolated farms preserve a sense of history. Visitors come for quiet walking, wildlife and the lived-in feel of a community that has long balanced conservation and everyday village life, with Fishguard the nearest service town.
