The village of Monknash gained its name when Neath Abbey founded one of the largest monastic farms in Glamorgan here during the Twelfth Century. A wealth of ancient remains exist and Monknash was designated as a Conservation Area in August 1973 in recognition of its outstanding architectural and historic content.
The historic Plough and Harrow Inn which is the pub opposite your holiday cottage (15 second walk) has been a hostelry for over 500 years and has changed little in all that time. Many original features indicate its fourteenth-century origins, including the ceiling beams that were salvaged from unlucky vessels wrecked on the local beaches. The pubs name is particularly apt considering the intense agricultural activity that has been carried out in the area.
The Grade 2 listed village Church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, is of early 12th century foundation, and has been much restored, with the architecture displaying a number of influences. The Parish registers date back to 1754, and local legend maintaining that the roof-beams came from wrecked Spanish Armada ships.
Monknash beach requires a little effort to visit. It is a fine beach with a dramatic backdrop of high cliffs, reached by a picturesque walk along a tree-lined path through the wooded Blaen-Y-Cwm, which follows Nash Brook to the sea.

There is a local bus stop which is a 2 minute walk from your cottage, bus timetables are located in the pub!
