Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Somerset.
The well is located near Babwell Farm in Babwell Lane and would be a couple of hundred yards from St Barbara’s Church in Cucklington.
The well structure is fairly modern with the wellhouse itself locked but a large bath into which the water flows gives plenty of opportunity to make use of it.
