St Canna's Chair, located in the village of Llangan in Pembrokeshire, Wales, is a historic heritage site that dates back to the 6th century. The site consists of a stone chair, believed to have been used by St. Canna, a Welsh saint known for her charitable works and healing abilities.

The chair itself is a simple stone structure, with a high back and a seat that is slightly angled. It is situated in a peaceful, wooded area, surrounded by lush greenery and wildflowers. The site is said to have been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, with visitors seeking blessings and healing from the saint.

According to legend, St. Canna would sit in the chair and pray for the sick and needy, often performing miracles of healing. The site is also said to have been used as a meeting place for local communities and as a place for contemplation and reflection.

Today, St Canna's Chair remains a popular destination for visitors interested in Welsh history and spirituality. The site is well-maintained and accessible to the public, offering a serene and tranquil atmosphere for those seeking a connection to the past.

Henllan Congregationalist Chapel Built 1830, renovated 1927. Most of these chapels have a gallery but this one is unusual in that they took advantage of the rising ground and built external steps up to the gallery.
