Coasteering with Snowdonia Watersports

Looking for an action-packed excursion in Wales? Check out coasteering, a sport that follows a rocky coastline both in the water and out.

March 14, 2010 by Carol Perehudoff

On my last day in Wales our sparkly red bus tour stops at St. Non’s Well and I’m hell-bent on finding some potent Celtic/Catholic mysticism. Our group troops off to the spring, a small covered well said to have miraculous curative properties.
