The Sarn Gynfelyn shingle spit is located at Wallog, a few kilometres north of Llangorwen in the county of Ceredigion, Mid-Wales. It is close to Clarach Bay, south from Borth and north of the regional capital Aberystwyth.
Similar landform examples are found at several points along the Cardigan Bay coast. They are thought to be long subtidal banks of glacial moraines.
Legend has it that they are the remains of causeways leading to Cantre'r Gwaelod, Wales's version of the myth common to many coastal nations across the world of an ancient drowned civilisation.
