Sancreed Holy WellRe-discovered 1879. Lies in a sheltered pine and holly grove. Above the well is the remains of an old chapel.Described by Heather Staffon as follows:- "It has a number of steps going down into what feels like the womb of the mother earth herself, aglow with moss-green phosphorescence." Lane Davies said of it:- The spot always seems to possess a greater air of mystery and sanctity than any other in Cornwall. It is a mysterious dreamy place adorned with ribbons and other offerings and reputed to have great healing powers. |
