Nons Bay, Coast Scenery

Nons Bay, Coast Scenery

Immediately south of St Davids, this spot is named after St David’s mother and traditionally accepted as his birthplace. A path leads to the 13th-century ruins of St Non’s Chapel. Only the base of the walls remains, along with a stone marked with a cross within a circle that’s believed to date from the 7th century. Standing stones in the surrounding field suggest that the chapel may have been built within an ancient pagan stone circle.  Whether any of that is visible in this real-photo card or not, we don’t know; but the card was mailed in 1961, and stamp and postmark are there.  Grade:: 1
