Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Anglesey (Sir Ynys Mon)

The exact location of St Dwynwen's well is uncertain; it has thought to have been located near the ruined church, among the rocks to the west above the sea, or a muddied spring to the north near the path - or all three might be true!

It is situated on Llanddwyn Island, which is one of the most beautiful places you could hope to visit. Amazing views, geology, very good visual monuments - well recommended.
