Description
St Dyfnog’s Well, it would seem, does not predate the Christian era, gaining it’s powers to heal not only the scab and the itch but also deafness, dumbness and smallpox when St Dyfnog (a 6th century saint) did penance by standing in the ice cold waters as they tumbled from a rocky bank and into a quiet, sunlit, wooded dell. Water still gushes from several spots on that rocky bank and gathers in the rectangular, marble bathing pool added during the Georgian period.
