Machynys is named after a monastery, built on the Machynys Peninsula by St Piro during the 6th century. Translated from the Welsh language ‘Machynys’ means ‘Monks Island’ a meditative island retreat. Prior to the erection of the Sea defence wall Machynys was inundated with the incoming tide creating Monks Island on which the monastery sat.
