Wrth deithio rhwng y Ferwig ac Aberporth, ar y ffordd arfordirol, mi welwcharwyddion wrth ymyl y ffordd yn dweud Felinwynt. Mae’r haneswyr yn cytunobod melin wynt wedi sefyll  yma  rai canrifoedd yn ôl ond nid oes dyddiad neugofnod penodedig i’w gael.

Peth anghyffredin iawn oedd y math yma o felin ganfod y melinau eraill, ac yr oedd nifer fawr ohonynt yn yr ardal, yn dibynnu arddŵr i’w troi. Bellach ardal yw Felinwynt yn hytrach na phentref ac o fewn yr ardal yma mae yna rhyw 30 o dai a ffermydd. O amgylch mae nifer o bentrefiyn cynnwys Aberporth i’r gogledd a thref hynafol Aberteifi i’r de. Dyma hefydlle mae’r ffin rhwng Cyngor Cymuned Y Ferwig a Chyngor CymunedAberporth.  Mae dau gapel o fewn yr ardal  Ffynnonbedr gyda’r Annibynwyr, ary ffordd o Felinwynt i Benparc a chapel y Methodistiaid, Blaencefn ar y fforddi’r Ferwig. .Sefydlwyd y ddau gapel dros ganrif a mwy yn ol ac maent yn dal igael eu defnyddio heddiw, er eu lleoliad gwledig.  Yn y dyddiau a fu, cyn amserffôn yn y tŷ ac erbyn hyn wrth gwrs y ffonau symudol, ‘roedd y trigolion yndibynnu ar ffôn gyhoeddus ac er fod yr offer wedi mynd mae’r blwch coch yndal i sefyll wrth ymyl y ffordd i’n hatgoffa am y dyddiau a fu, ac yn awr yneiddo i Gyngor Cymuned y Ferwig. Mae’n ardal boblogaidd gyda thwristiaidhefyd ac yn gyfleus i draethau’r ardal.  Mae yna nifer o gilfachoedd ar hyd yr arfordir ac un o’r rhai hynny yw traeth y Beles lle gellir gweld morloi yn y dŵrac ar adegau yn yr haf yn torheulo ar y creigiau.  Yn nechrau nawdegau ‘r ganrifddiwethaf sefydlwyd Canolfan Fforestydd Glaw yn Felinwynt . Lle poblogaiddiawn gydag ymwelwyr a thrigolion yr ardal , yn enwedig yr ysgolion.  Adeiladodd y perchnogion, Mr a Mrs Devereux, adeilad pwrpasol  a’rhinsawdd perffaith i fridio ac arddangos ieir bach yr hâf trofanol. Er bod y perchnogion presennol yn ymddeol y gobaith yw y daw rhywun arall i redeg y ganolfan.

When travelling along the coastal road between Ferwig and Aberporth you will come across a name sign showing Felinwynt, which is the Welsh for windmill. Historians agree that at one time, many centuries ago, a windmill stood here although no one can give an exact date.

It was very unusual to see this type of mill as all other mills, and there were many of them, relied on water power. Felinwynt is more of a community than a village and consists of about 30 houses and farms. It is surrounded by a number of small villages with Aberporth at the north end and the ancient market town of Cardigan in the south. This is also where Ferwig Community Council and Aberporth Community Council share a boundary. There are two chapels in the area Ffynnonbedr, an Independent chapel on the Penyparc Road and the Methodist chapel, Blaencefn, on the Ferwig road. Both chapels were built over a century ago and are still used today in spite of their rural location. Before people had telephones installed in their homes, and later still, the mobile phone, the community relied on public telephones and even though the equipment has been removed, an old red telephone kiosk remains standing at the side of the road in Felinwynt to remind us of bygone times. It is now owned by Ferwig Community Council. This area attracts many tourists and is very convenient to local beaches. There are a number of little coves along the coastline and one of these is Beles where seals can be observed swimming in the sea and basking on the rocks. Twenty five years ago a Rainforest Centre was opened in Felinwynt and has proved popular with tourists and locals alike, especially the schools. A purpose built building was erected providing the right climate to breed and exhibit tropical butterflies. Even though the present owners are retiring it is hoped that the centre will reopen again in the near future.
