St Winefride's Well, Holywell
Excited by our visit to Hampston's, we headed for the most likely looking nearby site we could find on the crappy road atlas in the car. St Winefride's was the other end of the scale: a major pilgrimage site for centuries, it advertises itself as 'The Lourdes of Wales'. We paid a small fee and entered through the museum into the grounds of the well itself. There were a fair few pilgrims around, considering it was a wet Sunday afternoon, with children running around and people lighting candles in the chapel.
