Chyenhal submitted by ocifant on 31st May 2005. A difficult site to get to, there was no-one at the farm to ask for access, this is the closest I could get without trespassing.

These stones are probably the entrance to a Round. They are guarded by an altogether at times too frisky horse!

Date Added: 6th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
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.

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...

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

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.
