St. Augustine's Well (Minster)
St. Augustine's Well (Minster) submitted by DavidCWoods : Quite a lot of water plants! Although it may not be obvious, there is a pipe at the base of the brickwork. Some water movement was visible at the bottom of the pool, so the water presumably still flows. Note the convenient lifebelt. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Kent

Nearer to Cliff’s End than Minster, the well is sited on the 17th fairway of St. Augustine’s Golf Course.

Having asked permission from the professional, I followed the tree line to the left of the clubhouse, conveniently marked by a mud track. About a quarter of a mile along this track the well became visible across the practice track.

Keeping a wary eye for golf balls I crossed to the well, which is nicely maintained, but has more the look of a water hazard than a historic sacred site. The water emerges from a pipe in the bank into a large pond adorned with water plants, and draining into a stream.
