A very nice photo cazzyjane. I like the idea of the cup on a chain - the water must be drinkable still though it looks a bit brownish.

Is it a chalybeate spring?

Not that I know of - I can't find it listed as one anywhere. Though the bottom of the well was certainly very rust coloured. I was brave and had a sip of the water as it was clear and it certainly tasted pure.

I'm sure there wouldn't be a cup if it wasn't drinkable, spring water is lovely!

Well..... it's obviously drinkable.....I'm too far away to sample it though. I did once drink the water at St Anne's Well, Malvern, and it tasted very good.

I wasn't really worried about it not being drinkable - I just am slightly concerned about how respectful recent visitors have been.
