Llanddwyn Island, Wales Coast Path

Llanddwyn is a magical and romantic place, as steeped in myth and poetry as any corner of this land of song.  The island was once the hermitage of Saint Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers.

She came here after being cruelly spurned by her fiancé, Dafodrill, and ever since is said to be able to hear the despairing prayers of those suffering from unrequited love.  Even today, those with love trouble make a pilgrimage to this island, seeking her blessing.
