Country: England (Cornwall)

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 Neot's Well (Poundstock) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 16th Oct 2006. The wellhouse sits within a small stone wall enclosure. There are Latin mottoes carved into the edge of the roof and a latticed wooden door. On the front of the wellhouse to the left of the door is a fish that perhaps relates to the legend at St Neot’s other well behind the church in the Cornish village which bears his name (see St Neot's Well (St Neot)). To the right of the door is a Chi Rho symbol, one of the earliest cruciform symbols used by Christians. I have been told that the true d...

To locate this well go past the church carry on following the road up the hill until you see a big metal gate to you right. You can park here and walk through the gate into a field. Carry on down through the wooden gate and you are close to the well. Look out for a small metal gate in front of you which says 'holy well' on it it. Go through this, down the steps and the well is in the undergrowth to your left.

St Ruan's Well (Cadgwith) submitted by ocifant on 31st May 2005. This well has been spoilt by having a copious supply of tealights and matches inside. Where these have been used, the walls are blackened. Unfortunate because it could be a lovely place otherwise...
