Why this matters

Ffynnon Saint is a holy well traditionally associated with Saint Sant, a 6th-century Cornish saint linked to several sites in Wales and Cornwall. The well was historically visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for eye ailments, and may have been the site of early Christian pilgrimage and local folklore.
