Chapel of St Non, Medieval chapel ruins near St Davids, Wales
The stone remains of St Non's Chapel stand on a clifftop location, featuring north-south alignment and measuring approximately 25 feet by 12 feet in size.
Dating from before the 14th century, this chapel marks the traditional birthplace of St David, the patron saint of Wales, born to St Non around 500 CE.
The adjacent holy well continues to draw visitors who follow ancient traditions of seeking healing properties, particularly for eye conditions and other ailments.
Visitors can reach the chapel via marked footpaths from St Davids, with parking facilities available near the grounds and open access during daylight hours.
The chapel grounds contain a 7th to 9th-century stone cross within a circle, potentially indicating the site's previous use as a pagan stone circle.
