Holy Well (Biddestone)
Date Added: 27th May 2024
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Wiltshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Holy Well (Biddestone) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. The Starwell is quite a large spring that flows from a slope and into a small stream. If you are lucky you may find one of the tiny star shaped fossils (crinoids) which give the spring one of it’s names. These fossils are freed from the underlying rock by the water, carried to the surface and deposited in the silty bed of the spring. We spent some time sifting about in the icy water (closely watched by a herd of curious cows) but found only a few modern coins, no doubt left by previous visi...

Gawton's Well
Date Added: 27th May 2024
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Gawton's Well submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Nov 2008. Got around to visiting here yesterday, and it's brilliant. It's only 16 miles east for me, so returning won't be too much of an issue. Very atmospheric woodland and castle like folly neaby too. I wouldn't be surprised if therein lies a connection with the well.
The spring lies within a large circular wall, in varying states of collapse, and within that is an elipse of yew trees - reminiscent of the ring of trees in "Nightmare Before Christmas". If this were Wales I'd start thinking this was th...

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.
