What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Pistyll Gwyn, Medicinal Well 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.
Pistyll Gwyn is a holy well associated with Saint Gwyn, a lesser-known early Welsh saint, and is traditionally believed to have healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general wellness. The name "Pistyll Gwyn" reflects the Welsh tradition of linking holy wells to local saints, with "Gwyn" meaning "white" or "blessed," possibly referring to the clarity of the water or the saint’s purity.
