Holy Wells

St Non's Holy Well
This holy well lies in a fantastic cliff top location close to St Non's Chapel near St David's. It is here that St Non reputedly gave birth to her son, later to become St David, the patron Saint of Wales, in the 6th century AD. Legend states that at the moment of his birth the spring began to flow. The site of the chapel and well is ringed by a number of standing stones, said to be the remains of a Bronze Age stone circle.

Llanllawer Holy Well
This holy well lies adjacent to the road (from which it is signposted) in the village of Llanllawer. The spring (which was dry on a recent visit) was used for healing diseases of the eyes and also as a wishing well.

St Brynach's Well
St Brynach's Holy Well is easily accessible via a short walk on a public footpath and is located to the rear of the barn belonging to the nearby Bernard's Well Farm. The well is fed by a spring and was renamed Bernard's Well, possibly during the Norman period.

St Teilo's Well
St Teilo's Well is not a typical of a holy well, more of a series of pools. Lying close to the village of Llangolman, it is easily accesible via a short walk on a public footpath and signposted from the main road, opposite Maenteilo house.

Water runs from a spring down through a series of stone-built pools. Legend reports that when St Teilo died his skull was used for healing and that people who drunk water from it would be cured of chest illnesses.

Llandeloy Holy Well
This holy well to the south of Llandeloy church, surrounded by a ring of stones, is quite difficult to locate amongst the mass of vegetation.

St Nicholas Well
This overgrown natural spring lies to the rear of the church in St Nicholas and was used as a water supply by the village from medieval times onwards.
