It is glorious at this time of the year, nature going riot. |

(2005-06-02) | We must have just missed each other, Hamish! I thought it was lovely too - (May must be the best time to visit) - and left a tiny bunch of flowers in memory of my dear old uncle who died last Wednesday. Picked one campion, one bluebell and one cowslip and wound a piece of goose-grass around their stems, and placed them in a niche in the stones lining the well, to the left of steps. I was fascinated by the glitter of the irridescent moss in there! The cloutie-festooned May tree looked nice with its blossom. I didn't realise it was known as the Crone Well: age-wise, that was a well-timed first visit! (PS: I did try to see if I felt any effect from the higher radiation that is supposed to be present, but can't say it made me sleepy at all.) | JimChampion
(2006-09-02) | A magnificent scene indeed - last week I visited the well and the area around it was rather choked with bracken (which doesn't shoot up until early June). As for the radiation levels here - bear in mind that granite is a notorious rock for increasing background levels. If anything in my school science lab was 200% above background levels there would be an investigation by Health & Safety officers from the education authority! I'll take a geiger counter next time I visit. | AngieLake
