| Gilsland Spa Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Northumberland | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Gilsland Spa Well: From the hotel car park, we followed the signs for the Sulphur Spa, leading on a path with a steep drop to our right hand side down to the River Irthing below. The path winds round to the left, then splits just above the southern side of the footbridge across the river. Take the ... Read More |

| Gilsland Spa Sulphur Spring | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Couldn't find | 27th Aug 2019 | Gilsland Spa Sulphur Spring: We tried to find this well from both sides of the river. Continuing west along the river walk for about 20m, we found the path had been washed away, and not even husband-cum-mountain-goat Andrew felt comfortable walking this section of the river (he said it would have be...

| St Anne's Well (Cotehill) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | St Anne's Well, Cotehill: We squeezed on the odd little road junction that led to a small, new housing development, under the footpath sign.
We followed the footpath sign, which led straight through someone’s garden. We got a bit lost at this point, as several tracks through the grass had been... Read More |

| Wetheral Village Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Wetheral Village Cross: a very pretty village. The steps and shaft of this cross are relatively modern, erected sometime between 1838 to 1844. The head of the cross is much weathered and appears older than the rest of the cross, although neither Pastscape nor Historic England mention this.
The ... Read More |

| St Cuthbert's Well (Clifton) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | St Cuthbert's Well (or Kelter Well), Clifton: The enclosure for this well is to the western side of the A6, towards the southern end of Clifton village. In some ways, this well is very disappointing, as the grid over it does not allow you to see very much, apart from some stone steps leading down t... Read More |

| Eye Keld Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | England | Cumbria | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Eyekeld Well, Greystoke: On the eastern side of the B5288 Icold Road which runs south from the village centre. The spring is only visible by peering over the dry stone wall, and the channel is covered with weeds and bracken, although there is a plentiful supply of water running from it, judging by t...

| Sanctuary Stone (Greystoke) | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | England | Cumbria | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Greystoke Sanctuary Stone: We didn't know this stone was here until I read the church guide book as we walked around the church. There is also a plaque stone somewhere, but we'd almost run out of time today. This stone was disappointing, as it wasn't visible underneath a dense covering of nettles a... Read More |

| Greystoke Village Cross | Ancient Cross | England | Cumbria | Visited | 27th Aug 2019 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Greystoke Village Cross: We've been to this area before, on the hunt for the possible Newbeggin Stone Rows, but never driven into this very pretty little village. We left this until the last stop of the day (just before the rain started to hurl down), after having seen the Eyekeld Well, the village ... Read More |
