St John's Well (Caradon)
St John's Well (Caradon) submitted by cazzyjane : St John's Well. October 2011. It is a quite ancient building with modern repairs including a cemented roof. The door was locked but you could see the clear water inside. A shame about the ugly piping next to it. (Vote or comment on this photo)

St John's Well (Caradon)
St John's Well (Caradon) submitted by hoya105 : St John's Well, Caradon Town. Situated prominently in this small village - unfortunately none of the locals we asked even knew it was there! despite being right beside it at the time! The well is part of a pond and ornamental area with a black swan and other waterfowl. There is a gate to access it. (Vote or comment on this photo)
