This photo was submitted to the Portal by Ken Mumford in the hope that we could identify it. As Ken wrote: "I have been going through some old 35mm slides. Attached is one I took when taking secondary school pupils from my Swindon school on a holiday to South Wales. I'm not sure of the exact date but I would say it is between 1979 and 1986."

Calling Low Dale
Date Added: 24th May 2015
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter
Country: England (Derbyshire)
Visited: Yes on 9th Feb 2015
Calling Low Dale submitted by pab on 9th Feb 2015. Photo provided by Alexis Lambourne:
"The cave / shelter makes use of a natural overhang in the cliff which makes a roof, this has been added to by enclosing it with a dry stone wall. The enclosed space is small (~6 ft long and maybe 4 feet wide). It is dry-ish, but the strata of the limestone rock just there is vertical making the roof quite loose and a bit drippy. Definitely more of a shelter than a 'home'. "

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Wales (Monmouthshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Virtuous Well submitted by Thorgrim on 20th Jan 2004. The Virtuous Well was formerly known as St Anne's Well. Situated in Trellech at SO503051, the well is one of nine that were once here. Each was reputed to cure a different malady. You should drop a pebble into the well and make a wish. If many bubbles appear, then your wish will be granted, if only a few then you will be disappointed.
