St Nectans Glen and Waterfall

The Hermitage

The major part of the Hermitage including the remains of the chapel is now the owners living accommodation but beneath this is the room which is reputed to be the site of St.Nectan's cell.

Slate steps lead up to the chapel and the rear bedrock wall forms a natural altar. Until recent times this cell has not been opened to the public but as increasing numbers of visitors are realising the spiritual benefit of the Kieve the guardians are now allowing access to this Shrine.

The Shrine is the ideal place to sit, meditate and soak up the healing energies of the waters that flow through the cell

Candles are available for those who wish to show their respect to the spirits of the Kieve as pilgrims did in centuries past.
