St John's Well (Tavistock)
Date Added: 20th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St John's Well (Tavistock) submitted by AngieLake on 31st Dec 2004. I initially had some trouble finding it, but it may be accessed from either of two bridges: the large main traffic bridge which crosses the river from the shopping area, Town Hall and Market, going east, then turning to your right (south), down a path into the park (that's how I found it). You can then, if you wish, keep going, visit the well, then cross a footbridge a little further on, which takes you back into the large public car park south of the main shopping area.

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Euny's Well (Carn Brea) submitted by MawnanIan on 6th Oct 2004. The well is by the stream opposite Carn Brea village hall. It is rather overgrown although the surrounding area is well kept. The story is that if you bathed in the water you would never hang.

St Nectan's Well (Stoke)
Date Added: 25th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Well (Stoke) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Dec 2004. St Nectan’s Well is on the site of the hut where the 6th century Welsh hermit, St Nectan, is said to have returned carrying his head after being set upon by thieves who beheaded him.
Graffiti on the wooden door and the very ugly new steel grille indicate that today there is still a vandal problem but fortunately they now tend to deface rather than dehead.
A signed path from the main road follows a stream down to the well.

St Peter's Well (Bradworthy)
Date Added: 10th Aug 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Peter's Well (Bradworthy) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Sep 2006. The well gives the impression of being forgotten as it sits in a hedge bank in a back lane of Bradworthy …. well, almost forgotten but not by the elderly gentleman who not only knew it’s location but, despite considerable difficulty in walking, insisted on accompanying us to the well. It was used as a water supply in the past and water still runs from it and into the lane. The door is locked and an ageing metal plate proclaims it as “St Peter’s Well”.

St Constantine's Well
Date Added: 21st Sep 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Constantine's Well submitted by theendlessbreeze on 3rd Sep 2004. St Constantine's Well is located on the golf course on the road from Constantine to Harlyn. Follow the footpath through the course until you can take a left. Here you will find both the well and the remains of St Constantine's Chapel.
The well is covered by a modern building, but this does not detract from its intriguing features. Inside the modern building is an old stone structure and inside this is the well, which contains very clear water.
The surrounding area is a marsy, boggy ground, w...

King Arthur's Hall
Date Added: 21st Sep 2011
Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
King Arthur's Hall submitted by AngieLake on 15th Jul 2005.
Blessed by lovely weather, my visit to this strange site was enhanced by the cloud of fluffy white bog cotton dancing in the breeze. This view looks diagonally back towards the entrance gate, with Roughtor behind me in the distance, at 38degs from the largest pointed stone near to the camera. Note the way the two large pointed stones stick up on the 'west' side of the site. The tallest of these aligns at 109degs with Roughtor. It struck me how much the three of them (with a shorter one bet...

St Melor's Well
Date Added: 5th Oct 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Melor's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 14th Oct 2006. Clear water pours from a groove in the front of the wellhouse and makes for a very wet approach to the well. The present structure dates from the 15th century as does the nearby church. There is a large niche in the front gable and several small ones inside. The water was considered to be a good remedy for horses sprained legs and was also used for baptism in the church. St Mellor's Well is a Scheduled and Grade II Listed monument.

Dupath Well
Date Added: 5th Oct 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Dupath Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 11th Dec 2004. As you enter the chapel through the heavy wooden door, there before you built into the floor below the windows is a pool of crystal clear water which flows out under the eastern wall into a granite trough.
The chapel was built by the monks of St Germans in 1570 but the well was revered as a pre Christian shrine and has long held the reputation for curing whooping cough.

St Indract's Well
Date Added: 5th Oct 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Indract's Well submitted by Rory on 24th Apr 2006. St. Indract’s is certainly off the beaten track, which isn’t necessarily a reason to not to make the effort. Seeking out such “secret shrines” has taken me to lovely places I would not otherwise have had the motivation to visit, like here, by the banks of the Tamar.
This Holy Well has a conscientious guardian who appeared to be expecting us. He was already striding up from the river as we approached. After we all made conversation he respectfully withdrew back to the waterside.
He...
