(User Info | Send a Message) | | In the book The Spirit Paths of Wales by Laurence Main - Cicerone Press 2000 the os grid reference for St Mary's Well is given as SH.139253. Main goes on to say "There is still a path to a curious holy well in a gulley below the church". "This is covered by the sea at high tide, yet contains fresh water from a spring at low tide". The well also called Ffynnon Mair was the last port of call for pilgrims before their journey across Bardsey Sound to the holy island itself. The author says that just above the well and ruined chapel is an ancient stone called Maen Melyn (Yellow Stone). The stone is covered with yellow moss, if that's where the name comes from. | [ Reply to This ]

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Thanks Sunny! Yup I know Lawrence - spent an evening and a day with him around Dinas Mawddy and Barmouth area, and also at Ley Hunter events; you can hear / see him on this clip with me dowsing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a_FZlrTv1Q; the standing stone is on the Portal's database - as for the well - it is not obvious, unless you know! Will follow up when I can. Cheers. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Went looking for this: think I nailed it - will post picture when I can. Incredibly difficult to work out, and in view that it is signposted from Aberdaron, some closer sign saying "It is HERE" would be helpful! Very treacherous location | [ Reply to This ]
