Griffydam well
The name of the village is from the old English terms for a dragon, or griffin, and dam meaning well or water source. The story is that in 'olden tymes', a griffin resided there in the small cave under the rock, and wouldn't allow villagers to collect water. Until a chivalrous knight rode by and slew the beast.

Griffydam well
The ancient well in Griffydam is still there. The village name comes from the old English terms for a dragon, or griffin, and a dam, meaning well or water source. The legend is that a griffin took up residence in the cave in the rock, and wouldn't allow villagers to obtain their water. Until a chivalrous knight rode by and slew the beast. The iron grill was loose, and removed and then replaced to take the photograph.
