Walking along a lane in Mortehoe at the weekend we came across this well. It was opposite a lane that leads down to Rockham Bay or Beach.
It was reopened in 1993 according to a plaque above it.
Carrying on the old pagan custom of giving offerings to the goddess of water, visitors have dropped many coins into the well!
