St Cynhaearn's Church is a redundant church standing in an isolated position on Ynyscynhaearna, a former island in Llyn (Lake) Ystumllyn,[1] 900 metres (980 yd) south of the village of Pentrefelin, near Criccieth in Gwynedd, Wales. It is designated by Cadw as a Grade II* listed building.[1] The church is approached from the village by an ancient causeway,[2] and is in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches.[2]
