Nestled high above the south coast of Llŷn, behind Llanbedrog and Abersoch is the scattered community of Mynytho.

The village enjoys excellent views from almost all parts, with "the Foel" providing some of the area's best views over Abersoch and Porth Neigwl/Hell's Mouth. "The Foel" is a small rounded summit to the south west of the village, whilst to the north is the more prominent Foel Tŵr as it is known locally, because of it's disused windmill at the top (often referred to as the Jam Pot) and views from here extend across Pwllheli to Snowdonia further east.

The village has a small shop/post office and a primary school with it's nearby park, picnic area and public toilets at the foot of "the Foel".
