Boiling Well (Ludlow)
Boiling Well (Ludlow) submitted by TimPrevett : The Boiling Well - emerges just to the north of a field boundary near the confluence of the rivers Teme and Corve. Obviously utilised by the livestock in the field, the water at the point of emergence is remarkably clear. I didn't have wellies, so couldn't investigate closely, but was sure some coins were in the water, and one cloutie tied above. (Vote or comment on this photo)
