Old Wark Spring submitted by HOLYWELL on 17th Jan 2011. What I assumed is the Newton Spring but it could be a land drain.

Holy Well (Broadclyst) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 8th Sep 2006. This large, rather overgrown wellhouse houses a deep pool of clear water which appears to be being tapped as a water supply, even so a considerable amount flows from the front of the wellhouse making for a wet approach. A wood and wire frame had been placed across the entrance to the wellhouse but was easily moved for this photo.

Log Text: A beautiful well in an oval pool that is well hidden among the larch, ash and rhododendrons. On private land, but worth the trip through the brambles and nettles if you believe these sites are worthy of being honoured. They say that there was a lawn behind the spring where the locals would dance on Midsummer's Eve. You can still see where this may have been.
It's also fascinating to think D H Lawrence had visited the site as it's described in Lady' Chatterley's Lover.
I have come to think of this more as Lady Chatterley's Well than Robin Hood's well now.
Long may it be loved and cherished.
