St Peter's Well (Bradworthy)
Date Added: 10th Aug 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Peter's Well (Bradworthy) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Sep 2006. The well gives the impression of being forgotten as it sits in a hedge bank in a back lane of Bradworthy …. well, almost forgotten but not by the elderly gentleman who not only knew it’s location but, despite considerable difficulty in walking, insisted on accompanying us to the well. It was used as a water supply in the past and water still runs from it and into the lane. The door is locked and an ageing metal plate proclaims it as “St Peter’s Well”.

St Nectan's Well (Stoke)
Date Added: 25th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Well (Stoke) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Dec 2004. St Nectan’s Well is on the site of the hut where the 6th century Welsh hermit, St Nectan, is said to have returned carrying his head after being set upon by thieves who beheaded him.
Graffiti on the wooden door and the very ugly new steel grille indicate that today there is still a vandal problem but fortunately they now tend to deface rather than dehead.
A signed path from the main road follows a stream down to the well.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Euny's Well (Carn Brea) submitted by MawnanIan on 6th Oct 2004. The well is by the stream opposite Carn Brea village hall. It is rather overgrown although the surrounding area is well kept. The story is that if you bathed in the water you would never hang.

St John's Well (Tavistock)
Date Added: 20th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St John's Well (Tavistock) submitted by AngieLake on 31st Dec 2004. I initially had some trouble finding it, but it may be accessed from either of two bridges: the large main traffic bridge which crosses the river from the shopping area, Town Hall and Market, going east, then turning to your right (south), down a path into the park (that's how I found it). You can then, if you wish, keep going, visit the well, then cross a footbridge a little further on, which takes you back into the large public car park south of the main shopping area.

St Nectan's Well (Welcombe)
Date Added: 6th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Well (Welcombe) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 7th Oct 2006. St Nectan was a Dark Age Welsh saint with another well just up the road at Stoke.
Water from the well is used in the church for baptisms but on the day we visited, the well was in use for a different purpose. A cake tin ‘treasure chest’ had been hidden in it and a constant stream of children were delighted to find treasure in the well. St Nectan probably would never have expected his well to be used for such a purpose but all those children at least now know that the well exists.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St John's Well (Morwenstow) submitted by AngieLake on 11th Oct 2004. Lovely situation, tucked away in a leafy dell, on the edge of an orchard. Access signposted from lane. Just across the lane from the 'gated' end of the churchyard path at Morwenstow - famous poet-priest, Hawker's - church. (A level path runs through the churchyard, just above the entrance gate to the drive of the Vicarage. There is a plan of the area opposite the main gateway to the church, near the tearooms and carpark.) Approach down overgrown steps fringed by fronds of ferns.

Stalldon Row
Date Added: 29th Jun 2011
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
Stalldon Row submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2006. The northern end of the row has 4 wonderful large (2 metres plus) stones still standing, which can be seen from miles away all over the southern moor, and look in many ways like walkers on the hilltop.
Seen here looking to the north, the wild moorland stretches off into the distance.

Wookey Hole Caves Museum

Site Type: Museum
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes
Wookey Hole Caves Museum submitted by JimChampion on 26th Aug 2008. I encountered this palaeolithic hunter-gatherer in the "Dinosaur Valley" at Wookey Hole. Hopefully it doesn't reinforce the idea that 'cavemen' co-existed with dinosaurs. His beard is looking a little green.
