St Non's Chapel
📍 Pembrokeshire, Wales
About
The Chapel of St Non is located on the coast near St David's in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Held by tradition to mark the birthplace of St David, the ruin cannot be accurately dated but is unusual in that it is aligned north–south rather than the usual east–west. Near to the ruined chapel is a retreat, a modern chapel and a holy well. The site was protected in the 1950s and is now the responsibility of the Welsh Heritage organisation Cadw.
A ruined chapel and holy well on the clifftops south of St Davids, Pembrokeshire, marking the traditional birthplace of St David (Dewi Sant) in the 6th century. Legend says a violent storm raged during his birth but the spot where Non stood was bathed in calm light. The chapel ruins date to the medieval period. A nearby modern chapel was built in 1934 in a pre-Reformation style. The holy well was believed to have healing powers.
