Walking toward St. Non's well and St. Non's church.

St. Non's Well, one of many Holy Wells in Wales and the Celtic lands. The water here is said to have remarkable curative powers.

St. Non's Church, where she gave birth to St. David.

A close-up of the stone which, according to legend, St. Non grabbed during her labor with St. David. The weather was very stormy that night, yet she gave birth in the warmth of this church. The stone was likely not actually there when St. Non gave birth, but was a later addition to mark the way for pilgrims.
