holy well

People have been drinking this water for hundreds of years.
It makes a lovely cup of tea and brews an excellent pint of beer. It has even revived plants that we thought were dead.

Heritage
Springstone takes its name from the springs which emerge from the stone face to the south of the farmhouse and also it is the place where can be heard the tone of bubbling springs. But to call the main spring, which is the holy well, by its old name you would be speaking the Cymric tongue - one of the oldest languages in Europe and the language spoken in most of the British Isles before the Romans came.
The name of the well is Ffynnon Eithon, a name which, when translated to English, means Well of the Goddess, or Goddess Well. And certainly, once you have lived here the name seems most fitting, especially when thousands of snowdrops push through the frozen ground in January.
The standing stone also has an old Cymric, or Welsh, name. It is called Cerrig Olaf, a name meaning Final Stone, or Last Stone. It is a blue stone and has a lovely thin layer of quartz running up the middle of it.
So it is also fitting then that Springstone should take its name from a spring and a stone from much older times.
The energy is strong here.
Respect to the past and focus to the future.
