St Seiriol's well and cell behind Penmon Priory church.

Right out at the eastern tip of Anglesey is a ruined priory and a curious church - curious because the chancel is considerably larger than the nave. They are the remains of Penmon Priory, which dates back to a troubled young man in the closing years of the Roman Empire.

This film, however, is only half of the story I want to tell, but the weather closed in before I could finish - you'll notice the lowering skies and the rising wind in the final scene! Keep watching this space for the next film, which will take you to the other end of Anglesey.
