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.

St Seiriol's Well, Anglesey

Having spent a couple of nights on Anglesey for a short break, we took our usual relaxed and meandering attitude to returning home. Looking on the map, we saw the attractive prospect of 'Well' marked in the area of Penmon Priory. Penmon wasn't too hard to find down the winding country roads, and we had a look round before heading up the hill to find St Seiriol's Well. The sun was blazing down from a clear sky as we followed the path through a doorway in the stone wall and up to the small stone shack that houses the well, providing a cool and shady respite from the heat.
