The triangular stone on the southern side, with a couple of its fellow stumps in the northern arc seen on the skyline. Pity about the china clay works.

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 Nectan's Well (Welcombe)
Date Added: 6th Jul 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes
St Nectan's Well (Welcombe) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 7th Oct 2006. St Nectan was a Dark Age Welsh saint with another well just up the road at Stoke.
Water from the well is used in the church for baptisms but on the day we visited, the well was in use for a different purpose. A cake tin ‘treasure chest’ had been hidden in it and a constant stream of children were delighted to find treasure in the well. St Nectan probably would never have expected his well to be used for such a purpose but all those children at least now know that the well exists.

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...

A fairly old view from Brian Byng looking up the hill along this triple stone row.
This is how I remember the place many years ago - all very overgrown. I must go back sometime to see if its any clearer now.

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).

St Nectan's Glen
Date Added: 7th Nov 2010
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring

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...
