Holy Cross Church at Kilgwrrwg is one of the most remote parish churches in the UK still in regular use. It can only be reached by crossing two fields and a stream from the nearest house. It is surrounded by a circular churchyard suggesting a Celtic foundation, and the church building contains some Early English architectural features, although it was restored in the 19th century.
