There are two crosses on the island the inscriptions on this plain cross reads : “Dwynwen“; “in the sixtieth year of Queen Victoria 1897“; “in memory of St Dwynwen Jan 25th 1465“; and, “erected by the Hon F G Wynn owner of the isle“. Dwynwen (or some say Dwyn Wen – Blessed Dwyn) is the patron saint of lovers for Wales. Her Saint’s Day is celebrated on 25th January: a very popular day for couples to visit the island.

Solva lies on the north side of St Bride’s Bay, in North Pembrokeshire in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. It lies on a deep valley at the mouth of the River Solva. In the valley is Lower Solva, consisting of a long street ending at the small harbour. Solva became the main trading centre of St Bride’s Bay in the medieval period, and was important for lime burning. Several lime kilns are preserved in the harbour area. The harbour is now a boating centre. This image is also available on my Photo4me site here.
