Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Kent
I followed a somewhat circuitous route when I visited this site in April 2006, as local paths seemed changed somewhat by the construction of the Lamberhurst by-pass. This, however, is what I should have done:
Starting at the church of St. Mary the Virgin, itself some way from the centre of Lamberhurst, make you way to the opposite side of the church from the car park, facing west south west. A golf course is spread before you, and as I visited on a Saturday it was very busy. I asked permission before entering. To your left is a treeline long the edge of the fairway and, following this about halfway down the hill, you will reach a point where the ground falls sharply away towards a stream. Set in this bank is the well.
