Penycwm (Welsh for "Head of the valley") is a small settlement on the A487 road near Newgale, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is part of the community (formerly civil parish) of Brawdy. At the other end of a valley to the coast is Penycwm beach, also known as Pwll March.[1]

The village's Independent Chapel, built in 1870, has now been converted into residential accommodation.[2]

Penycwm was the location for the United Kingdom's first 5-star youth hostel.[3]
