ST. WINEFRIDE'S WELL

Built in 1500, St. Winefride's Well is a well called "ffynnon" by the Welsh, and is said to cure a number of ailments, including insanity and cancer. You may come across a few pilgrims here: there are still some who make the pilgrimage, particularly on June 22, the feast of Saint Winefride. On the Sunday of that week, several thousand people parade through the streets behind a procession carrying a relic of the saint's bones. St. Winefride's Chapel is open to the public.
