St Oswald's Well (Kirkoswald)
Date Added: 17th Oct 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 25th Jun 2005
St Oswald's Well (Kirkoswald) submitted by ocifant on 25th Jun 2005. The well sits at the side of the church, against a hillside. The church bell tower is separate and sits at the top of the hill. There are steps and a door leading down to the well, but the door was locked. It is necessary to lower the drinking cup to obtain the water.
Apparently, the church boiler leaked some time ago, and the water was poluted with oil, and is no longer fit to drink, although it is still used for baptisms...

St Mungo's Well (Cumbria)
Date Added: 17th Oct 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2005
St Mungo's Well (Cumbria) submitted by ocifant on 26th Jun 2005. Looking at the various maps, the location of this well is difficult to discern. It's actually easy to find once you get to the church though.
From St Kentigern's in Caldbeck, walk through the churchyard from the road, and exit via the rear gate. Cross the footpath to the river. Immediately on entering the river path, there are a couple of steps down to the riverbank. These lead to the well.
