St Edrens Church

There is a wealth of folklore in Wales from the Mabinogion to the 'Fair People' and tales of local witches.
Take a trip round St Edren's Church, near Mathry in Pembrokeshire. In this lonely church you'll discover magic snakes and how locals used grass.

The ancient holy well in St Edren's churchyard was said to cure madness. This isolated church, built in 1846, can be found close to Walterston Farm near Newton Cross (B4330).



This slideshow was inspired by Tony Roberts' book 'Myths and Legends of Wales' (Abercastle Publishing). There are a wealth of books and websites on Myths & Legends of Wales available - to find out more search the web with the BBC or visit your local library.
