St Gwenfaen's Well can be reached by footpath, either by a circular route around Rhoscolyn or by following the Anglesey Coastal Path (part of the Wales Coast Path).
The well is blessed every year on, or near, Gwenfaen's Saint's day, 4 November, after Holy Communion in the nearby church. St Gwenfaen's Well was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1971 and as a scheduled monument in 1987. Īn offering of two white quartz pebbles into the water of the well is said to cure mental problems. While being chased by druids, Gwenfaen is said to have climbed a nearby rock stack and was carried away by angels when the tide came in. She was known for healing mental illness. Gwenfaen was the daughter of Paul Hen of Manaw (who also known as Old Paulinus), and sister of Peulan and Gwyngeneu, both saints who also lived on Holy Island. The nearby church dedicated to St Gwenfaen is on the site of an older church dating from 630 AD. St Gwenfaen's Well has not been accurately dated but is assumed to be medieval. Īt the western end a stone slab with a hole allows water to be retained in the chamber or be released into a 4.6 m (15 feet) long paved channel leading to a pool 35 m (115 feet) west of the well. The external chamber can be reached by six descending stone steps on either side cut into the cleft in the rock. Īn outer external well chamber roughly 1.5 m (4.9 feet) square contains the well itself, and is separated from the internal well chamber by a drystone wall, which includes a stone slab with circular grooves cut in its upper and lower edges to allow water to flow between the two chambers. A narrow opening and steps lead into the rectangular well chamber, 1.2 m (3.9 feet) east-west by 0.6 m (2.0 feet) north-south, with recessed semi-circular seats at each side. Three steps descend into the building from the east into a 2.0 m (6.6 feet) square chamber with a flagstone floor and four diagonal stone seats in each corner. The remains of the drystone well house are 4.5 m (15 feet) east-west by (originally) 5.5 m (18 feet) north-south. Īs with much of Holy Island, the well lies within the area of the Glannau Ynys Gybi (Welsh: Holy Island Coast) Site of Special Scientific Interest and the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The well is just under 1 km (0.6 miles) west by south west of the village of Rhoscolyn which is the location of St Gwenfaen's Church, part of the ministry area of Holy Island ( Church in Wales).

With this method, also feel free to use "natural" directons, instead of cardinal directions (meaning forward is Up, Backwards is down, reguardless of N-S-E-W.St Gwenfaen's Well lies in an isolated position in a cleft in the rock in a dell overlooking the cliffs of Porth Gwalch (Welsh: Hawk Bay) in the community of Rhoscolyn in the south west of Holy Island, Anglesey. unless you are having an issue with a single room fitting on the map, at which point I would simply adjust the scale until it fits.Īnother thing you can do is just force one of your players to map the cave system room by room, and draw their own map (if they want one.) This adds to the realism (because mapping a big cave system by just memory is nearly impossible) and gives some idle hands a task to do, if you've got a problem child. Using this method, I find that there is generally very little erasing and re-drawing of the same rooms, and, since scale doesn't matter, you can use just whatever size paper you want to use, so "not fitting on the map" isn't a thing either.
So, I'm not sure whether I was clear, but what I meant to say was print out/draw a complete exploration map (at any scale), and then just use the battle-map for encounters.
