Church of St Mary - Walks and places to visit while staying at the Golden Pheasant (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
The remote hamlet of Betws Gwerfil Goch – ‘the prayer-house of Gwerfil the Red’ – lies in a steep-sided valley, on the ancient Pilgrims’ Trackway across Wales. At its hub is the ‘prayer house’ itself, traditionally founded for pilgrims by the 12th century Princess Gwerfil of Meirionydd, red-haired granddaughter of King Owain Gwynedd of North Wales. Her church was rebuilt in the 15th century and restored in 1879: entered via a doorway formed from three big stone slabs, its interior is packed with interest.
