Ffynon Elaeth

Holy Well

What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ffynon Elaeth as Holy Well from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Ffynon Elaeth is a medieval holy well associated with Saint Elaeth, a lesser-known Welsh saint, traditionally linked to healing and protection. Little folklore survives about the site, but such wells were often places of pilgrimage and ritual in early Christian Wales.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
