Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Derbyshire
After a steep climb but one with wonderful views you reach this spring filled trough. Local lore has it that on Easter Sunday local children would visit this spring and the Russet well and drink it with liquirice. It is found just beneath Peveral castel up Cavedale.
