Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
April 30, 2025, St Winifred's Chapel and Holy Well

Here in Holywell, one discovers the origins of a saint who is popular not only in Wales: Saint Winifred (actually "Gwenfrewi," other name variations include Winefrieda, Wenefrida, Winfrida, Wenefreda, Guenfrida, Guenvreda, Guenwera). Her name translates as "the friend of peace" or "the white friend of peace." The search for her life and death (as a martyr) takes us back in time to the first half of the seventh century. Saint Winifred's feast day in the calendar of saints is November 3rd. The pilgrimage tradition to Holywell is considered the oldest in Great Britain, but her remains are no longer here; they were transferred to Shrewsbury in the 12th century.

"The RSPB Reserve at the Point of Ayr is situated on the northern-most tip of Wales and the Dee Estuary. The peace and solitude of this windswept part of the world make it an ideal refuge for wildlife. Wheatears, Wagtails and warblers and Pale-bellied Brent Geese all visit this vibrant mix of beach, sand dune, shingle and saltmarsh at different times of year. The Point of Ayr lighthouse stands watch against a backdrop of sweeping views across the Dee Estuary, the Wirral Peninsula and the wide horizon beyond." You can find out about opening times, facilities etc here; https://www.rspb.org.uk/days-out/reserves/dee-estuary-point-of-ayr
