Nevern

The site of Nevern Castle is on the north side of the village alongside the back road to Moylegrove. It was originally a Welsh stronghold, and more than likely a hill fort before that. It was seized in the early 12th century by the Norman Robert Fitzmartin, Lord of Cemmaes.

The Nevern Cross on the south side of the church dates from the 10th century or early 11th century.

There’s a 13ft high Celtic cross and a miraculous bleeding yew. An avenue of 700 year old yew trees leads you through the churchyard. One of them is the famous bleeding yew tree for which various legends exist; some say it bleeds for the wrongful hanging of a young man many years ago, others say it will bleed until there is a Welsh prince on the seat at Nevern Castle and another legend says it will bleed until the world is at peace.
