Holy Well (Olney)
Holy Well (Olney) submitted by DavidCWoods : General view of the site, showing the depression from the field beyond. The water is in the undergrowth - the emerging stream may just be made out. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Buckinghamshire. The site has apparently been recorded as a Holy Well for over a thousand years, and forms the parish boundry (and now the county boundry with Northamptonshire).

Access is by following the bridleway across Olney Park Farm to the edge of the trees (about a mile), through the thin strand and left along one edge of a field, then right along the further edge and downhill into a depression.

Holy Well (Olney) submitted by DavidCWoods : Not very impressive to look at, and difficult to photograph as it is fenced off, there is in fact quite a large pool with a stream emerging from it. (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)
