Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Warwickshire

Keepers Well is named after a John Holt during the time of Edward IV. He was thought to be a druid and the water like the other pools in the park to have special properties. It is on the South side of the path leading up the stream which feeds Keeper's Pool. Proximity of ancient roads such as the Roman road may be significant.
