Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Powys
To find St Cadfan’s Well take the A458 heading to Llangadfan from Welshpool. At the Cann Office Hotel turn left, pass a caravan site on the right and cross the bridge over the River Banwy. Immediately after the bridge the road swings right and the well is on the right before the next corner. A dilapidated sign almost hidden in a hedge used to tell the story of the well which is reached through a gap in the hedge. The well has the Rev Howell to thank for it’s continued existence as he was responsible for having an arch constructed to carry the new road over it.
