A beautiful well with water issuing from a rockface and into a basin. It then flows into a large square pool originally used to water cattle.
Yew and other trees growing above the rockface and the area is surrounded by trees and woodland. Other small basins to left of the well, the specific use of which I do not know. I feel it is a very spiritual place. Several other wells in the area (an AONB).
