St Govan's Well, Bosherston

The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Govan's Well, Bosherston 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.

St Govan's Well is associated with St Govan, a 6th-century Cornish saint known for his hermitage in a sea cave near St Ives, though the well itself is located in Bosherston, possibly reflecting the spread of his cult. Traditionally, the well was visited for its healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being, and such holy wells were often sites of pilgrimage and local devotion in medieval Wales.
