After breakfast Alan, Rene (Alan's mum who was staying at the house with us) and I went to the quiet hinterland of the Lleyn to visit St Cybi's Well. The well lies near the village of Llangybi and is a little walk from the main road across some boggy fields. Rene managed the walk pretty well. St Cybi was thought to have come from Cornwall in the 6th century and the well also has a habitation next to it for pilgrims and a detached latrine a little further off. It was thought to cure all sorts of things including scurvy and rheumatism, if taken with equal quantities of seawater, and was in use until after the reformation. In fact there was a donation box in the church for it until the 18th century. After some pictures of the well there are pictures of the church at Llangybi and then Penarth Fawr, a medieval hall house which is a little way away from Llangybi and currently up for sale! I have used the Lensbaby 35mm Sweet Optic for some of these pictures which gives a small plane...
