    Ffynnon y Wrach is virtually impossible to miss, a strange alien structure at the very side of the road beneath Holyhead Mountain as you ride up towards South Stack. An octagonal brick tower beneath a hemispherical rusted metal dome. Ffynnon y Wrach is generally translated as the Witches Well. The name dates back into antiquity the earliest date I have found of a written record being 1733; but there is no knowledge of the witch or witches to which its name might refer.
