Ffynnon Digain
Ffynnon Digain submitted by TimPrevett : A little way to the north of Llangernyw sits St Digain's Holy Well. A tip off from the information board outside St Digain's Church was the source (keep an eye out for these boards - they're very useful!). I found the reference to the well on my OS Map, and it's on a hillside in pasture. I wasn't sure if I found it at the time, but reading Coflein's entry since, that it's under a small stone cover...
