Nevern High Cross, Celtic high cross at St Brynach's Church in Nevern, Wales
The 13-foot-tall Nevern Cross displays intricate geometric patterns and Celtic knots carved from local dolerite stone in the churchyard.
The medieval cross, dating from the 10th century, contains inscriptions including letters H/AN/EH on the front and DNS, an abbreviation for Dominus, on the reverse.
The cross marks a former pilgrimage route to St David's, where travelers would pause for prayer and rest near the riverside.
The cross remains accessible throughout the year within the churchyard grounds, with parking spaces available within 250 meters of the site.
Local residents gather at the cross each April 7th to observe the arrival of spring's first cuckoo bird, continuing a centuries-old tradition.
