Crymych is a large village in north Pembrokeshire which lies in the shelter of the Preseli Mountains. It is a place where the Welsh culture is strong and where the Welsh language is the first language of most of the residents.
Crymych is connected to Narberth and Cardigan via the Pembrokeshire bus service 430. The nearest railway station is approx. 10 miles away in Clunderwen.

There is an 18 mile circular cycle trail with an opportunity to visit a late Bronze Age hill fort and a present day eco-village which has regular open days.
Crymych also has a leisure centre with swimming pool. In nearby Boncath a fabulous concert hall has been built at a nearby mansion house, Rhosygilwen, with a varied programme of classical and folk music.

Both Ysgol Y Frenni, the primary school and Ysgol Y Preseli, the secondary school, are located within the village. They are both bilingual schools teaching through the medium of Welsh and English and are both well respected in the community with Ysgol Preseli being reported as one of the best secondary schools in Wales.
