Orcinus visited on 10th Mar 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Right on the southern boundary of the village, I can't believe that I have driven past this numerous times. Lots of running water from the pipe.
Found beside the road is the famed saltwell a chalybeate spring thought to have healing qualities, although recent analysis showed it lacked iron. It arises in a strange trunchated beehive shaped well. It was first noted in 1226 and has never known to run dry.
