Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Fenton Luna submitted by Thorgrim on 15th May 2004. Fenton Luna is such a curious name! What does it mean? The well is found in Fenton Luna Lane which winds steeply uphill from the centre of Padstow. The well is behind the low cupboard and a later pump has been added. Both now redundant.

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”.

Our Lady of Nance
Date Added: 7th Dec 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Our Lady of Nance submitted by theendlessbreeze on 11th Jun 2004. Grid Ref: SW870604
Location: Near Mountjoy, Cornwall
As in the case of many holy wells, this one was difficult to find!
From Newquay take the A392 to St Columb Road, past Quintrell Downs and then take the turning to the left just before Mountjoy to Lady Nance. Follow this road and take the first turning to the right down a lane. Here you will find a collection of cottages.
The well is located in some undergrowth just off the lane, to the right of the first house you see.

Date Added: 24th Feb 2013
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
Oxenham Arms submitted by TheCaptain on 26th Apr 2004. Oxenham Arms, South Zeal, Devon SX651935.
An enormous and magnificent menhir built into the wall of a tremendous pub on the main street in the village of South Zeal, Devon.
In fact, the pub is believed to have been built by monks in the twelfth century around the menhir. As the pub website says "A very interesting part of the house is the small lounge behind the bar. In this room, set in the wall, is a monolith and the theory of archaeologists is that the monastic builders placed the...

Fice's Well
Date Added: 16th May 2012
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
Fice's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 23rd Sep 2006. The well stands surrounded by a low stone wall which was built by convicts (it’s only a very short distance to the prison) in the 19th century. We found Fice’s Well on a very murky Dartmoor day and were probably lucky not to suffer the same fate as John Fitz and his wife. One day they were riding on the moor when the piskies conjured up a thick, impenetrable mist which resulted in the couple being hopelessly lost. For hours they rode in circles unable to find their way off the moor. The ...

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Goodaver submitted by mattimpey on 9th Mar 2009. Several of the stones appear to have an undercut, whether this is due to weathering, the stones being re-errected upside down, or a feature of the circle I do not know.

St Neot's Well (Poundstock)
Date Added: 6th Apr 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Neot's Well (Poundstock) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 16th Oct 2006. The wellhouse sits within a small stone wall enclosure. There are Latin mottoes carved into the edge of the roof and a latticed wooden door. On the front of the wellhouse to the left of the door is a fish that perhaps relates to the legend at St Neot’s other well behind the church in the Cornish village which bears his name (see St Neot's Well (St Neot)). To the right of the door is a Chi Rho symbol, one of the earliest cruciform symbols used by Christians. I have been told that the true d...

Nine Stones (Belstone) submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Apr 2004. Belstone Nine Stones, Belstone Common, Devon SX612928.
A nice neat little stone circle on the moors below Belstone Tor on the common to the south of the village of Belstone, Devon. This circle is almost certainly the remains of a round burial cairn, and traces of the burial chamber can be seen within the circle.
This is a view looking north

Visited: Yes
Stalldon Row submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2006. The northern end of the row has 4 wonderful large (2 metres plus) stones still standing, which can be seen from miles away all over the southern moor, and look in many ways like walkers on the hilltop.
Seen here looking to the north, the wild moorland stretches off into the distance.
