Amgueddfa Forwrol Llŷn — the Llŷn Maritime Museum — sits in the old parish church on the hillside above Nefyn bay. A red anchor outside, an arched window inside, a working volunteer team telling the story of one of the Welsh-speaking world's most distinctive coastal communities. Herring fishing, smuggling, shipwrecks, the working ports of Porthdinllaen and Porth Colmon, the Nefyn fishermen captured in sepia photographs.

Menter Môn commissioned this short film as part of their wider series on community organisations across north-west Wales. We worked with curator Dyddgu Williams across one full day on site — interviews in the gallery with the "Mathemateg ar môr / Finding the way" exhibition behind, detail shots of the antique shipwrecks-of-North-Wales map, the rope-knot teaching board, the "Bîff Nefyn" herring-and-smuggling panel, and the eco-amgueddfa gift shop with its Llŷn wildlife mapping.

The film was delivered bilingually with full Welsh and English subtitles, ready for Menter Môn's social channels and partner network.
