Hodur visited on 3rd Jun 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 1 Access: 5 Terrible ambience as it's right next to a busy A road. The well itself is in decent condition although I'm sure this isn't its original state. Access is easy, you can park literally metres from the Well.

Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Warwickshire

An old well/spring now sadly dry and overgrown for most of the year. It is not too far from where remains where found of a Romano-British temple on Grimstock Hill.

I found the well from a photo on an old postcard.

Sadly the council allowed the well to be moved when road works were done, so the well is NOT in its original place which is why its dry, theres no well there.

the well was all but destroyed when it was moved so looks nothing like it does in your pic anymore.

the road contractors & the council should both be held accountable for this act of mindless Historic "VANDALISM"
