A wish on Bardsey

"St Mary's Well on the Island has a curious tradition associated with it. If you went to the well, got a mouth full of water, walked back up the steep steps leading to the church, and then walked around the church three times still holding the water in your mouth you would be granted a wish."

So says this extract from the Mysterious Britain Gazeteer which can be found at:

However, St. Mary's Well is NOT on the island - it's on the mainland, - unless someone knows different! Let me know if your wish comes true.
