This 12th-century chapel is dedicated to St Non, the 5th-century mother of St David, the patron saint of Wales. The chapel is built on the site of a ancient holy well, which is said to have healing properties. The well is surrounded by a medieval stone wall and is approached by a set of stone steps. The chapel itself is a small, simple building with a rectangular nave and a narrower chancel. It features a 15th-century tower and a medieval font. The interior is adorned with stone carvings and stained glass windows. The chapel is a popular spot for pilgrims and those seeking solace, and the well is still used for healing and reflection today.
Stunning setting and when you walk down to the chapel you find the shrine at the spring hidden away in a little dip which was a delightful surprise. The water was cool and soft. Lovely story and Celtic legend. Free parking with a fab view.
A very inspirational site, definitely worth a visit - the views are tremendous, and the small chapel (the one build in more recent times) is wonderful. The well and remains of the original chapel are accessed through a short path. Definitely worth visiting, as well as St Davids Cathedral, which is only a small journey away. No tickets or entry fee etc.
The chapel is tiny and a ruin. But the view and backdrop over the coast is stunning and then hidden away in a little dip is the well and shrine with a beautiful babbling brook and lilies growing.
Small car park available nearby but busy even on wet and windy day, well worth a walk down to see the well and a visit to the chapel.
Magical, can park nearby or enjoy as part of a coastal walk
Lovely historical location, with beautiful views. The ruins are well looked after, with fence around it. The walk past it to the cliffs is well marked and fairly dry. Definitely a nice walk.
