Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st May 2010
Stidwell submitted by AngieLake on 31st May 2010. The area on the west side of the wall that runs downhill from Buckland Beacon. Stidwell spring is just over the wall here.
You can see how steep the track is. It didn't appear easy to access the well from the east.
[iirc there was also barbed wire running along the wall.]

Stanton Moor 3 submitted by AngieLake on 25th Nov 2009. I'm pretty sure I've got the right cairn circle here...! Photographed in late August 09.

Stanton Drew Great Circle
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Somerset)
Visited: Yes on 12th Nov 2004
Stanton Drew Great Circle submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2004. One for Templar - panting sheep, sweating buckets in the May heat, in the shade of a stone of the main avenue. (Two days later, they'd been shorn!) For Liz's info, there was a small iron framework structure in the field, not far from the main entrance gate, that I'd not previously noticed, and a group of people were standing inside it, observing ....maybe afraid of the cows too?

St. Brannoc's Holy Well (Braunton) submitted by AngieLake on 23rd Mar 2005. St.Brannoc's Holy Well in Braunton, north Devon, is formed by a spring that runs into an almost heart-shaped pool. Nearby is a modern chapel built on the site of a medieval chapel, and probably an even older one preceded that.

St Piran's Cross
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2005
St Piran's Cross submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2005. Not the easiest cross to find, but well-worth it. I believe I read that this is the only three-holed cross in Cornwall, but it looks to me as if it just wasn't finished. This close-up was taken in June 2005, one sunny evening. Harder to find was nearby St Piran's Lost Oratory, now buried and marked with a slab of granite. From this cross, head towards the huge modern cross on the sand-dunes. The sprawling campsite at Perranporth spoils the views here.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 19th Oct 2004
St Neot's Well (St Neot) submitted by AngieLake on 19th Oct 2004. This pic shows the rear right of the inside of St Neot Holy Well, with the offerings, and the worn door with its lovely old catch. (I should say that we found this door fastened, and made sure it was securely shut before we left.)"
This is what the church guide book has to say:
"The Holy Well
The holy well is some three hundred yards from the church. It stands near the St Neot river in a level meadow backed by a steep bank planted with trees. One reaches it by turning in beside the Carlyon...

St Lythans
Date Added: 26th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (South Glamorgan)
Visited: Yes on 19th Jul 2008
St Lythans submitted by AngieLake on 19th Jul 2008. The 'St Lythans Guardian'.
I first noticed the amazing (and quite spooky) human likeness of this stone in 2002, and it seems even more striking now, on a 2nd visit.
[The hole is the mouth, and two depressions where eyes would be. The rest of the 'body' is about right for size ratio. Was this intended, I wonder?]

St Levan's Stone submitted by AngieLake on 12th Nov 2006. Another angle on St Levans Stone, obviously revered by the ancestors for its 'Mother Earth' symbolism.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 31st Dec 2004
St John's Well (Tavistock) submitted by AngieLake on 31st Dec 2004. St John's Well at Tavistock (SX478739) is tucked into the hill in a public park area on the east bank of the River Tavy. A footpath runs parallel to the river bank on this side of the river, and a fairly slippery (it had been raining) flagstone path leads off at right-angles across the grass towards the little granite-arched well, and its capstone with 'St John's Well' carved on it.On the opposite side of the river, some walls still stand, bordering the footpath, which are from the ruins of t...

Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Oct 2004
St John's Well (Morwenstow) submitted by AngieLake on 11th Oct 2004. Lovely situation, tucked away in a leafy dell, on the edge of an orchard. Access signposted from lane. Just across the lane from the 'gated' end of the churchyard path at Morwenstow - famous poet-priest, Hawker's - church. (A level path runs through the churchyard, just above the entrance gate to the drive of the Vicarage. There is a plan of the area opposite the main gateway to the church, near the tearooms and carpark.) Approach down overgrown steps fringed by fronds of ferns.
