I have visited· I would like to visit

Anne T visited on 14th Jul 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Luston Holy Well: This well is not shown on the HE map search, or listed on the HE Research Records or Herefordshire SMR. It is located at the corner of the B4361 and Eye Lane. We parked on Townsend Park, opposite the well and walked across the road. There is a plaque on the north eastern corner of the well proclaiming it to be a holy well. Can’t (yet) find out any more information about it. The handle of the pump had been chained and padlocked in place. We couldn’t hear any water flowing, and looking down the drain cover, the water was stagnant.
