**St Aelhaearn's Well** submitted by TimPrevett : The front of the housing for this well... well and truly locked. One assumes advance arrangement must be made, just like the saint's church back downhill in the village. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Beneath the towering presence of Tre'r Ceiri, is the Victorian Well Housing for this earlier Holy Well.

Access is subject to the site being unlocked! Adjacent the main road, on left hand side ascending out of the village.
