The Legend of Ceinwen & Swan's Well
A timeless connection to the history and natural world of Hay-on-Wye.
Steeped in the rich history of the Welsh borders, the craft behind Castello de Haye is deeply connected to the stories and heritage of the land. Our spring water source flows near the historic site of a 12th-century castle known locally as The Tump. For generations, local legend has told of Ceinwen, a holy hermitess who lived by the water's edge. Her gentle spirit blessed the well, infusing its waters with a natural healing power and purity. Today, we continue to honour this historic legacy by blending every handmade batch with the pristine spring water of Swan's Well.

This balm is so good for my aging skin, taking any dryness away and leaving a delicate scent.
The soap is smooth and beautifully scented. The packaging makes it a perfect little gift.
Too beautiful to use ! But smell amazing anyway.
It’s wonderful and I’ve already started using it. Not heavy, just a beautiful cream with a perfect smell. What’s not to like?!
This is an unusual scent but very pleasing, and it develops well. The packaging is lovely, very unusual, like the scent itself.
