Beautiful shrine and adjacent holy well of St Winifrede, that continues to be blessed with an air of sanctity and holiness. The main buildings are medieval and the well water has healing properties. There is a shop and refreshment room nearby with a car park across the road. Pilgrims can take away as much well water as required, providing they bring their own container(s). This is the only holy well in the country with and unbroken tradition of pilgrimage since the fifth century. I can thoroughly recommend a visit.

I've been wanting to see this up close for years after seeing it in the distance as I drove into Prestatyn and also saw it peeping over the hedgerows when we went around the (dire) Funship Market last year. We decided to park up and explore this time and quickly found a footpath running behind Funship Market which was very rocky and rough underfoot so wear sensible shoes and watch where you're walking. We walked up the path which starts off parallel to Funship Market and passed under the lowest functioning rail bridge I've ever seen - my husband is 6'2" and had to really duck to walk under it and I'm only 5'2" and although I would have probably just made it walking at full height, I still felt I needed to duck and trains were hurtling across inches above our heads.........but it's so worth it - as you pass under the bridge, The Duke Of Lancaster is suddenly peeping round the corner at you and no photos can accurately describe how huge, creepy or beautiful it is - we felt watched all of the time and heard a loud clang coming from the ship as we were there - a true Ghost Ship
