The Virtuous Well

Holy Well
This well is also known as St Anne’s Well. The stone surround offers places for visitors to leave offerings and the stone seats would also have been welcomed by travellers.

In the 18th and 19th centuries the water was considered especially beneficial in the treatment of eye ailments and for treating ‘complaints peculiar to women’. It was also used as a wishing well. Fairies were believed to dance at the well and one day a local farmer dug up a fairy ring around it and from then on, whenever he (and only he) tried to draw water, the well was dry, but as soon as he replaced the missing turf he was able to get water again.

This enchanting and ancient well sits in a small field a short walk from Harold's Stones. If in the area this is definitely worth a visit.

Free parking is available in the church/village hall which sits opposite to the field entrance of Harold's Stones.
To go to the well, turn left immediately upon leaving parking area. Walk down the first road to your left. The well is on the left hand side right before the bend in the road.

A special spot near Trellech, Gwent.

Easy access to this Holy site. Very peaceful just need some love.

Amazing place, very atmospheric

Beautiful, ethereal well housing a spring in the hamlet of Trellech. Access is through a brightly painted green gate off Llandogo Road and the well is a very short walk along a path. It has a very peaceful and spiritual ambience and the water tastes sweet and pure. Remember to take an offering to leave there. There is an information board telling the history of the well. Well worth a visit (excuse the pun!)

Well (!!) preserved piece of culture, but why is it hidden away without adequate signage? Wake up local council... you should be proud of this and promoting it (or at least trim the trees and hedge back so that the entrance is visible from the road!).

My son fell down the Well two years ago.
