It's had a bit of a tidy up since our last visit and all the detritus of spent offerings removed. We also didn't have the curious horse "helping" with the visit!
The water is said to cure eye diseases and illnesses peculiar to women.
It is also believed that the water from the well runs under the 3 Trellech standing stones and thus was part of the "druidic rites" performed there. Might be a bit of a stretch that one but who am I to argue with the Cadw information board. It is also believed (says Cadw) that fairies dance around the well at Midsummer.
Last tine the water in the well looked very unappealing; no way would I wanted to have put some in my eyes no matter how desperate I was. This time however the water was crystal clear and had clearly been used as a wishing well by someone.
