A very atmospheric and popular place. Be sure to ask to see the chapel above the well. You will need to leave a deposit for it. Also the parking is limited so you're best to park in the town and walk down. It's not far. Very interesting and unique place to visit. If you want to bath in the pool then only arrive after 11am however if like me you just want to visit you can enter from 9am. There is a small museum with lots of interesting information and then you can wander the grounds to the well itself. A beautiful and atmospheric place, St Winefride’s Well is steeped in history and legend, often called the “Lourdes of Wales.” The Gothic chapel over the spring is stunning, and the still flows into a star-shaped basin and outdoor bathing pool where pilgrims can immerse (in modest clothing) but at the time it was no other pilgrims but us so pleace was really quiet and kind of magical. The small museum and shop add context, and entry is very affordable at just a couple of pounds. Above the shrine, there is a bigger church however it was closed. Whether you come for faith, curiosity, or heritage, the site has a peaceful, spiritual quality that makes it well worth a visit. Visited today lovely peaceful place. Very cheap entrance fee. Lots of religious gifts and a little museum with information about the shrine. Very nice staff. Shrine it's self gets opened at 11.00. people are free to bathe clothed there is a place to dry off in changing rooms . I soaked my feet in the sacred healing as I have a sore foot . Definitely worth a visit for some mindfulness can't wait to return Incredible place, with a profound sense of peace and contentment. The Shrine of St Winefred is a place where miraculous healings take place. There is the chance to dip into the healing spring waters. There is a quaint and lovely little gift shop where Rosary beads, holy water, statues, prayer cards, candles and so much more can be bought. The staff are very kind and welcoming too. There is also a lovely little museum which has relics of the one True Cross Jesus was crucified on. There are relics of St Oliver Plunkett, Pope St Pius X, St John Vianney, and St Therese of Liseiux. A truly profound, and incredible place of peace, healing and tranquility. Very interesting shrine to St. Winefride. The well sprung up at the place of her beheading (and re-heading, so to speak). You can get into the several times during the day. It is supposed to have healing powers. When I was there several young men were making their way into the cold in the midst of a cold day! You can also take filtered with you for free to drink later. Though I cannot attest to having a miracle healing as a result of drinking it... I also didn't get sick! 😀 The buildings are beautiful and the surrounding area has some hiking pads that you can go down if you are in the right mood. I visited many churches in Wales and I would say that this was one of the more interesting ones... Mostly because of the and the story. It's worth a trip. Beautiful place. I've been here a few times and I love it, the staff are friendly and it only cost £2. Has a nice museum through the gift shop, and if you ask for the key, you can see inside the chapel above the crypt. Only £2 entry with a dip into the well with clothes on. Well iver 500 years old. Extraordinary how much they knew then and how little we know now. I submerged myself under the after desensitising to the cold crisp water. Wonderful a experience. Will be back again.
