St Gybi's well does not fare so good as his colleague, St Seiriol. Situated on the south side of a bridge between Maenaddwyn and Llanerchymedd, the flow of water is still clearly visible, but its presentation leaves much to be desired. A brick rectangle with dislodged cover fails to lend any beauty to a well attributed to the Saint after whom Holyhead was named - Caer Gybi. Another spring used to flow on the north of the bridge, attributed to Saint Seiniol, but this is now completely muddied over. Nothing to be seen.
