St Govan's Well and Chapel

Sacred Well

There's an organic feel to the chapel, either it's grown out of the rock or the rock has grown around it, like a tree trunk around a horseshoe.

Beautifully dramatic photo of a little chapel hiding away from the 'raiders' of the sea or land?.. or a hermit's resident..	Posted by moss 21st May 2014ce


yeh, the celtic version of christianity was definitely a lot about the elements and being amongst nature, don't you think. All that praying in the middle of rivers. Scooting on stones over the ocean. Talking with the birds and that. It's definitely somewhere that's been on my visiting list for a very long tmie.	Posted by Rhiannon 21st May 2014ce


Thanks all, it's certainly worth going to, whatever its ideological merits :)	Posted by thesweetcheat 21st May 2014ce
