The St Dwynwen Crosses on the Llanddwyn Peninsular

The romantic story of Saint Dwynwen is today quite confused, as its origins are in the 5th Century, but it seems that her love was destined to fail and she retreated to the peninsular (or tidal island) off Newborough Beach now carrying her name as Ynys Llanddwyn. She spent the rest of her life there alone and is now the Welsh Patron Saint of Lovers. This image shows that both Christian and Celtic followers have dedicated crosses to her.
