Scarlett's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 4th Oct 2006. In his “Survey of Cornwall” circa 1600, Richard Carew wrote of this well “….. for healing all diseases, in a plentiful spring near unto Bodmin, called Scarlet’s Well; which report grew so far and so fast that the folk ran flocking thither in huge numbers from all quarters.” ……. “the water should seem to be healthful if not helpful; for it retaineth this extraordinary quality, that the same is weightier than the ordinary of his kind, and will continue the best part of a year wit...

Challacombe rows submitted by thecaptain on 21st Oct 2004. Challacome Multiple Stone Rows.
A fairly old view from Brian Byng looking up the hill along this triple stone row.

Visited: Yes
Merry Maidens (Circle) submitted by JimChampion on 27th Oct 2006. August 2005. The Merry Maidens under fluffy white clouds. I rediscovered this photo and selectively manipulated the contrast so that you can now see the stones (previously they were too dark). I've uploaded a similar photo to Wikimedia Commons - they need pictures of ancient sites for use on free sites like Wikipedia.

St Nectan's Glen
Date Added: 7th Nov 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Glen submitted by Thorgrim on 29th Nov 2003. St Nectan's Glen has been described as amongst the ten most important spiritual sites in the country. (SX080885)
There never was a St Nectan, the name is a Christianised form of the Cornish water god - Nechtan. The way down to the water is steep and slippery, but so beautiful. Hundreds of clouties, messages and small offerings crowd the minute ledges of the steep sides of the glen. It can only be reached on foot, but it is well worth the effort.
The well house is at the entrance to the gl...

St Genny's Well
Date Added: 2nd Nov 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Genny's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 26th Sep 2006. The village of St Gennys is easy to find on the map near Crackington Haven. The church is situated in a dell amongst the high cliffs of the North Cornish coast and from a seat at the far end of the graveyard you can look out over the ever surging sea quite unaware of the high cliffs just below you. Park in the carpark at the end of the road and take the path to the church. On the right hand side of the path the green drops away steeply. St Gennys Well is tucked into a fold of the slope and w...
