There can be few more peaceful places than Llanynys Church. This ancient church, the old mother church of the southern Vale of Clwyd, is one of the most interesting churches in North Wales. It is bounded by fields, the only other buildings near the church being a pub and a small cluster of houses. There is a yew tree in the churchyard which is said to be at the centre point of the Vale of Clwyd.
Llanynys Church has its origins in the 6th century when it was founded by Saeran a Celtic saint bishop. Parts of the present church date from the 13th century. The most famous feature of the church is a 15th-century wall painting of St Christopher. This was discovered in 1967. St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers.
There is an Elizabethan panel near the altar with interesting carvings and a fine Georgian chandelier. The church also has a dog tong, which was used to keep fighting dogs in order during church services!

Ni all fod llawer mwy o leoedd heddychlon nag Eglwys Llanynys. Mae’r eglwys hynafol hon, hen fam eglwys eglwys ddeheuol Clwyd, yn un o’r eglwysi mwyaf diddorol yng Ngogledd Cymru. Mae caeau yn ei ffinio, a’r unig adeiladau eraill ger yr eglwys yw tafarn a chlwstwr bach o dai. Mae yna goeden ywen ym mynwent yr eglwys y dywedir ei bod yng nghanol Dyffryn Clwyd. Mae gwreiddiau Eglwys Llanynys yn y 6ed ganrif pan gafodd ei sefydlu gan Saeran, esgob sant Celtaidd. Mae rhannau o’r eglwys bresennol yn dyddio o’r 13eg ganrif. Nodwedd enwocaf yr eglwys yw paentiad wal o’r 15fed ganrif o St Christopher. Darganfuwyd hyn ym 1967. Sant Christopher yw nawddsant teithwyr. Mae panel o oes Elisabeth ger yr allor gyda cherfiadau diddorol a canhwyllyr Sioraidd coeth. Mae gan yr eglwys dafod cŵn hefyd, a ddefnyddiwyd i gadw trefn ar gŵn ymladd yn ystod gwasanaethau eglwys!
