"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.

New Years Day
Well - here we are into 2008!
And the news from the island today is:
Ben has walked around the island and his bird of the morning was - a Red Kite over the farm at Ty Pellaf.
Other news is that Steve, the Warden (who is off the island at the moment with his wife and son) will be travelling back to Wales on Friday to give an illustrated talk about Bardsey and its wildlife, to the Cambrian Ornithological Society. This will be held at the Pensychnant Centre, situated on the Sychnant Pass road between Conwy and Penmaenmawr at 7.30pm.
