Just round the corner from Caerfai lies St Non's Chapel. St Non it is thought, to have been a nun and daughter of local prince, Cynir. She gave birth to St David after being raped by Sant, a prince of Ceredigion. Just off the coastal footpath,there is a ruined chapel where St Non is believed to have given birth to St David, as well as a newer chapel that is also dedicated to St Non. Beisde the ruined chapel, there is a holy well which is said to have sprung up at the time of David's birth. (https://www.stdavidscathedral.org.uk/discover/history/St-Non).
