Holy wells

Cornwall in the UK is home to many sacred wells or springs. In times of old, these were a place used by locals for healing, or pilgrimage. Unfortunately over the years, many have been destroyed or fallen into disrepair, however some are also beautifully maintained by enthusiastic volunteers.

I found traveling to these wells an interesting experience. Each one had it's own unique energy and properties. A few were very eerie, definitely did not feel alone there.

Here are a few that I visited.

St Keyne's Well - beautiful heart centred space :-)
St Cuby's well - just off the road but hard to see while driving ;-)
St Cleer's well
Dupath Well
St Neot's well - super cute town, and well is not located in a random cow paddock 5 miles away like the GPS said :-(
Scarlett's well
Sancreed well, complete with offerings. Super eerie. I swear there was something behind me...and breathing :-/
Glowing, phosphorescent moss growing in Sancreed Well. The water here has a relatively high radiation count.
St Piran's well - very neglected, but still lots of love here :-)
St Clether's Well Chapel - wow, beautifully maintained and a work of love from one lady.
Inside the St Clether's well chapel - original 2000yr old alter stones with water running underneath :-)
