Crag Well (Bellingham) submitted by Anne T on 30th Aug 2021. The well from just to the north of it, avoiding stepping down into the now boggy well pond area.

Log Text: Crag Well, Bellingham: Not been able to find out anything much about this well, apart from reading a blog which since seems to have disappeared. Is there a tradition of church services being held next to this well, as the blog said? Will keep researching, but a very pretty spot, well worth visiting.

Log Text: Hetherington (Wark): Our second visit to this site, the first being on 25th May 2017, but I forgotten all about it! A lovely site, and pleasant to explore on a sunny afternoon. Didn't realise that this site has been excavated twice, once in 1957, and again in 1972-73, so must try and find the excavation reports, if they are available.
Holy Well (Stonehaugh)
Trip No.171 Entry No.1 Date Added: 31st Aug 2021
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Northumberland)
Visited: Couldn't find on 15th Aug 2021
Log Text: Holy Well (Stonehaugh): We last tried to find this well on 30th June 2014, but failed, despite being directed by a local farmer and his dog, Meg. On this occasion, the steep path down the gorge was very slippery, with wet, knee high grass along the path, and quite dangerous, so we gave up, determined either to come back after a dry period, or to try a different path from the village of Stonehaugh towards the Black Pool.
