This is a very evocative site. It requires a bit of scramble down some steepish slopes into a wooded copse. It is unclear the access rights but it appears well trod.
The spring arises in a small cave like structure and fills a small pool. When I saw it in the summer it was a bit dry but apparently it forms a small waterfall according to local sources. The origin of the name is believed to come from Hlud meaning loud but again as always it is possible to think that the site may be derived from Celtic deity Lud.
