You could easily miss Saint Trillo's church from the road.
Located at Rhos-on-Sea, it sits tucked away in its own alcove overlooking the sea. The church itself is still active and has been for nearly 1500 years, yet it is easy to miss because of its size, offering only a total seating for six people within the church, all set into a single small space. Anyone is welcome to enter the church today, which keeps its doors open for those wishing to visit.
It is a lovely sight with the churches diminutive stature summed up by the fact a bench outside it covers pretty much half the length of the building. The original church would have dated back to the 6th century, built of wood and wattle and named after St Trillo a saint from the period who built his cell there, choosing the spot for its placement over a fresh water well, an ancient spring that can still be seen running beneath the church. St Trillo himself is said to founded the church in his name in Llandrillo-yn-Edeyrn in Denbighshire.
