St Gwenfaen's Well

St Gwenfaen's Well stands at an elevation of 35 meters, featuring stone structures and architectural elements that represent medieval Welsh religious construction techniques.

The Grade II listed building dates back to the early Christian period, when it served as a significant pilgrimage destination for those seeking healing properties.

The Welsh name Ffynnon Wenfaen reflects the deep connection between local language traditions and religious heritage in medieval Anglesey communities.

Visitors can access the well through marked pathways from Rhoscolyn village, with limited parking spaces available near the entrance to the site.

The well contains specific architectural features that earned it protection status as both a Grade II listed building and a scheduled monument in Anglesey.
